Great. First pesticides, and now this.
No thanks, I don't want to breathe in atomized droplets of highly corrosive acid. I'd rather die from excessive global heat than live with the unknown ramifications of injecting the earth with acid.
The actual plan is preposterous, as well. It's clear that Keith has little understanding of the details of his plan and whether it even stands a chance at working, because there is absolutely no scientific methodology at play here. Where is the evidence? There has been no citation of any source that confirms his assumptions. Where are the small-scale trials? How does someone just take jets to the atmosphere and spray it full of sulfur without even knowing the ramifications? When people were testing nuclear power plants for the first time, they made sure to do so in a controlled environment. Crossing your fingers and carrying out a very complex procedure for the first time in an uncontrolled environment without knowing anything beforehand is not only remarkably stupid, but it's also very dangerous.
Currently, we're in a safe zone with regards to climate change. If we increase the number of carbon sinks, and if everyone switches to electric cars tomorrow and aircraft start using cleaner-burning biofuels with low NOx and CO2 emissions, we can decrease our carbon footprint by a large amount. Planting a lot of trees and stopping deforestation can compensate for the amount of carbon in our atmosphere already.
Also, investing more time and money into alternative energy isn't a bad idea. Turbines have been around for centuries; it's about time we started using more of them. Solar power is advancing very quickly and could really offer a good source of electric power. If every state had 10 windfarms and 10 solar power plants, then we could be self-sustaining for as long as the Sun doesn't implode.
A shame, though, that our bureaucratic government would rather invest money into restricting freedom rather than invest money to better our world. It's also a shame that people will be too selfish to give up their hydrocarbon-burning cars and vehicles.
