TEL AVIV -- Nobel Prize laureate Paul Crutzen says he has new data supporting his controversial theory that injecting the common pollutant sulphur into the atmosphere would cancel out the greenhouse effect.

Though such a project could not be implemented for at least 10 years, the data is aimed at appeasing critics of the idea he first championed in the scientific journal Climatic Change in August.

The Dutch meteorologist showed what he calls the positive cooling effect of adding a layer of sulphates to the atmosphere at a global warming conference at the Porter School for Environmental Studies in Tel Aviv.

He said new, detailed calculations carried out since August showed the project would indeed lower global temperatures.

1. Lets give it a try, why not its only a "controversial theory "

I don't trust it and I think man has screwed with Gaia a little to much all ready, Lets try suppressing Green house Gases.

2. What would happen if we would stop paving over the earth and

destroying anything in the wild that contains chlorophyll?
It would seem to me that if green plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen, we should stop paving over the planet and let the green life forms do their thing of lowering the carbon dioxide level in the atmosphere.

3. Oh good. No more global warming, but the air will smell like

4. Not to mention the acid rain.

Sulphuric acid pouring out of the sky. What a lovely thought. :eyes:

5. Um, he wants to inject Brimstone into the atmosphere?

This is supposed to be the punishment of God. Rain of fire and brimstone. Why don't we wait until God gets around to it?
