Obama looks at climate engineering

The president's new science adviser said Wednesday that global warming is so dire, the Obama administration is discussing radical technologies to cool Earth's air.

John Holdren told The Associated Press in his first interview since being confirmed last month that the idea of geoengineering the climate is being discussed. One such extreme option includes shooting pollution particles into the upper atmosphere to reflect the sun's rays. Holdren said such an experimental measure would only be used as a 'last resort'...

Another geoengineering option he mentioned was the use of so-called artificial trees to suck carbon dioxide—the chief human-caused greenhouse gas—out of the air and store it. At first that seemed prohibitively expensive, but a re-examination of the approach shows it might be less costly...

[This in nothing more than plan-B should they fail at ramming through their carbon-control agenda: threaten the populace with even more expensive 'fixes' that make their original proposals seem reasonable by comparison.

We're talking hundreds of trillions of dollars and all the control that goes with it - they're not going to give any of it up without a fight.]
