It should be possible to counteract the global warming associated with a doubling of carbon dioxide levels by enhancing the reflectivity of low-lying clouds above the oceans, according to researchers in the US and UK. John Latham of the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, US, and colleagues say that this can be done using a worldwide fleet of autonomous ships spraying salt water into the air.

They could accomplish the same thing a lot more cheaply by putting Al Gore in a rowboat and leaving him in some appropriately-effective location to spew his hot air. Preferably, this location would be one that's, oh, a few thousand miles from the nearest land.

The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of 'liberalism' they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.

It's an interesting idea but it does put me in mind of a SciFi disaster movie.

To its height, its depth, its broad extent,
A limitless love, without hatred or enmity."
