Can science solve Global Warming?


According to a nobel prize winning scientist, the answer is possibly yes!

Paul Crutzen, a Dutch atmospheric chemist, proposes that the answer to the solution is to pump Sulphur Dioxide into the stratosphere in order to increase the reflection of sunlight away from the earth.

This solution, would cost an estimated 25 to 50 billion dollars per year and has the advantage of being easily adjustable, since Sulpher particles will only remain in the atmosphere for 2 years. It would however increase the problem of Acid rain.

Crutzen maintains that this potential solution should only be used as an emergency measure, but even so, an article in the Independent suggested that his solution:

"...is so controversial that some scientists opposed its publication in the peer-reviewed scientific press, fearing that it may encourage the view that it is easier to treat the symptoms rather than the causes of climate change." - Independent, July 31st 2006

...and on a related note. It has come to my attention that Junkscience.com have launched a competition that will award $100,000 to anyone who can prove that human action is causing "catastrophic global warming."

Any takers?
