    Stet

    Stet,

    Not only do you claim to be capable of controlling the weather, you are willing to pay the government, (every government in the world), to adopt your plan and you expect them to carry it out? The government could get a wet dream wrong and you expect these same people to control the weather of the entire planet?

    You write: “If they’re right”…….

    Do you mean you aren’t certain? You think that they could be right, but you really don’t know? So, you’re skeptical, but you want to take the precautionary approach…..just in case they could be right.

    Again, if you want to drive an electric car and recycle soda bottles, have at it, (recycling creates more of your “greenhouse gases” than creating new bottles but this thread has already veered too far into the woods so we’ll save that for another time).

    Do this stuff on your own time with your own money. Gather up a bunch of your eco friends and form some sort of private organization……you could live in a commune if you want to. Maybe you could get Michael Moore and John Travolta to live in one of your communal huts….Maybe Barbara Streisand. You could bitch and moan amongst yourselves about polar bears and spotted tree slugs and how unfair the world is.
