this isn't incredibly related to this post, and you probably already know about them, but i thought of you when i heard them last week. Nathan Myhrvold on the Stratoshield Former Microsoft technology chief Nathan Myhrvold says we could reverse global climate change by pumping liquid sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere. We could use a hose lifted more than 15 miles into the sky using helium–filled balloons. It would dim the sun just enough to reduce or reverse global warming. Nathan Myhrvold explains what he calls the Stratoshield. http://kuow.org/program.php?id=18748 and God's Green Earth There may be a prayer for climate change prevention. Major world religious leaders and conservation organizations recently gathered in Windsor, England for the Many Heavens, One Earth conference to advance the fight against climate change. Host Jeff Young speaks with Martin Palmer, Secretary General of the Alliance of Religions and Conservation, about why these initiatives might have a greater impact on stewardship than scientific or political efforts.
