Global warming will be very easy to control using modern petroleum-based technology.
You know those little styrofoam bead thingies in beanbag chairs and Beanie Babies? Just unload a few billion metric tons of those little honeys on the tropical oceans. They'll spread out into a neat layer one bead thick - and really give the "sunlight reradiated back to space" fraction a big kick in the watusi. Big fringe benefit - no more hurricanes, so go ahead and develop the bejeezus out of the Keys.
Piss the whales off some, but they need to organize and have a better PAC or something.

Then when the earth has cooled "to taste", just dump a cubic mile of toluene (add a percent of carvone if you want that fresh, minty scent that just screams "quality") out there. The thin slick will spread like a bad rumor and dissolve all the styrofoam - just like Hollywood special-effects acid. The gemish'll dry into a tough dense layer. This'll buckle and fold and get dragged down by all the weight of the blister-packed albatross skeleta. It'll sink right to the bottom of the sea, where nobody'll give a possum's posterior about it. Your tax dollars at work.

Pass the dope...
