Scientists say pollution may be helpful
[news.yahoo.com]

>>If the sun warms the Earth too dangerously, the time may come to draw the shade. The "shade" would be a layer of pollution deliberately spewed into the atmosphere to help cool the planet<<

>>A massive dissemination of pollutants would be needed every year or two, as the sulfates precipitate from the atmosphere in acid rain.<<

>>Last month, the World Heath Organization said air pollution kills about 2 million people worldwide each year and that reducing large soot-like particles from sulfates in cities could save 300,000 lives annually.<<

>>The 1997 Kyoto Protocol requires modest emission cutbacks by industrial countries — but not the United States, the biggest emitter of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases, because it rejected the deal.<<

I think we'll be ok

That is a STUPID IDEA. I bet the "scientists" mentioned work for Phillip Morris
