I thought of another possible solution to global warming. Find an oil that when dumped into the sea, it would cause a reflective surface on the sea that would reflect sunlight back into space, and decrease the amount of heat from the sun that is being deposited on the Earth.
This should also be a bio-degradable oil that would only last for a few days or a week, or so, to prevent it from harming the environment. This oil could be poured into the middle of the oceans, by ships at sea, in large quantities every month or so. This would make large parts of the oceans like temporary mirrors, reflecting sunlight and heat back into space, causing a cooling of the planet. It should also prevent things like hurricanes from happening by tending to interfere with water evaporation in the hurricane's path.

Yes, but it doesn't solve the problem of our polluted air and soil. But good thinking, because if we need to lower the temperature, it can give us time to sort everything else out.

Or instead of risking suffocation to large tracts of marine life you could paint all the car roof's instead. To reduce global warming to zero you could spread the joke "What is the difference between a 4x4 and a hedgehog?... ans: The hedgehog has the pricks on the outside." - but do say it with conviction.

Error!
Procedur is destructive to eniorment. Global warming have happened before. Earth have been warmer before. Earth is in a ice age
Conclution: No action shall be taken.
Result: 99.9999% probeblity of earth going on after.

when speaking of statistics to humanities continued existence, Id rather have better percentages than that.

Also Global warming will end when the ice caps melt lowering the temperature alot. But to prevent that, how about we just place smarter car and plant restrictions like no civilian cars under 40 mpg and not trucks under 30 mpg. Also the obvious more nuclear and more efficient solar.

I agree with kingjacob. We should clean up the environment anyways. Then we'll see what direction Earth is headed naturally.

Well how about global dimming, eg, the vapour trails of aeroplanes reflecting sun light, in turn reducing evaporation, less precipitation, less food, less people, less fossil fuels used, !! Which is worse:(

All the while people want gas-guzzlers there will be a company to make them. If you all started phoning your local garage and asked if they sold electric cars, then electric cars they would start to sell!.

You do not need to actually buy one, just get the market going!
you could also ask your local DIY store if they sell Solar energy products
- again to get the market going.

1: I completely agree with what Zelos said.
2: Adding oil to the Earth's water would:
a: be... messed up, it wouldn't be a solid surface
b: kill everything in the ocean (say goodbye to seafood).
c: Make the Earth warmer if anything because black absorbs sunlight, it doesn't reflect.

Electric cars are no where near ready yet, at least not as they are configured at the moment, need a lot more work on them, plus disposing of Batteries would become an environmental problem. The hybrid is useless as well, much better to stick with the internal combustion engine but develop a clean fuel.

Actually the electric care is very ready, see Who killed the electric car?

There are too many links to negotiate, just give me the specs of the best electric car that you know of. Smile

Many thanks kingjacob, It will take me a while to wade through all the cross referals, but I will try Laughing Laughing

a few hours latter
I have had a look and there is nothing new that I can see.
Just another conspiracy theory.
This is just just a brief EV1 summery:

26 Batteries in boot ‘Panasonic’ weight=1147lbs has portable emergency charger in boot.
Range 55 to 95 miles
Recharge time between 5 and 8 hrs
Max speed 80mph
Estimated price US$34000-44000

These figures are 5-6yrs old, therefore so is the technology.
So, not very user friendly from a drivers point of view. And I still stand by my original statement



This is a very short article and offers other solutions etc http://whyfiles.org/005electcar/6.html

Stop arguing about electric battery cars. They'll never take. I'm gonna phone GM, Ford, Chrysler, and all the other car companies I can think of and tell each one of them I need 100,000 fuel cell cars by June 2007.
