Watch the feedback loops. The melting of the arctic pack ice (it is almost gone in the summer) and melting of permafrost and methane hydrates which are 25 times the greenhouse gas CO2. The entire arctic has hundreds of feet of permafrost and the bottom of the oceans.

How about increasing sulfuric rain!

When humans burn fossil fuels, sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) are released into the atmosphere. These chemical gases react with water, oxygen, and other substances to form mild solutions of sulfuric and nitric acid.

December would have to be as cold as the coldest month on record...
For 2016 to be colder than 2015, the December average would need to be below minus 0.75 °C. The only month with an average less than minus 0.75 °C was in December 1916! That's out of all months of the year, not just for December.

No! I have come up with a plan to clone Koan. It will cost in the order of $100,000 per replica. In Korea there is a doctor doing it with dogs.

If we pair every living human with a Koan replica think of the moral superiority we would gain.

Every Koan model will be educated to the PhD level with implanted chips.

At the most inopportune times your personal Koan will scare the bejesus out of you - driving, eating, sleep or sex, Koan will raise some issue you never knew existed.
