Publicity Stunt Ideas by Nobel Prize Winners
From a WorldChanging article on a Bruce Sterling article on a Wired article on GeoEngineering and publicity stunt ideas from Nobel Prize winning scientists like Paul Crutzen:
a growing number of scientists are thinking more aggressively, developing incredibly ambitious technical fixes to cool the planet. These efforts to remedy the accidental experiment of climate change with intentional, megascale experimentation are called geoengineering. Thus far, ideas include reflecting sunlight with gazillions of orbiting featherweight mirrors or by saturating the stratosphere with sulfur (proposed as a kind of publicity stunt to startle policy makers into acknowledging the need for Drastic Measures) or increasing the volume of microbes that eat CO2 by fertilizing the oceans with iron.
I wonder about metaphysical, or magical implementations on these ideas, prayer circles against global warming? global cooling voodoo? Human sacrifice?
