What about the latest stupid idea of upper atmosphere purposeful pollution?

I recall one of the suggested solutions to global cooling and the coming ice age in the 70's was to purposely burn things to produce mass quantities of CO2.

While I don't buy the global warming litany - I think we should pursue alternative forms of energy with some vigor - more for the financial and political changes it would bring.

The idea of radically adding even more things to an atmosphere we barely understand is just reckless and could I suppose trigger the next ice age - which in my opinion would be worse than some warming. The greatest biodiversity came during the earths warm periods not during ice ages.

As for the bowing and what not - not sure I care. If he can charm stuff out of them - I guess I'm for it. PS: I voted for Bush twice - but that doesn't mean I agreed with him 100% either.
