Obama science adviser: Global warming so dire, we may need to tinker with Earth's atmosphere Associated Press WASHINGTON - The president's new science adviser said that global warming is so dire, the Obama administration is discussing drastic options 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. As he put it: "It's got to be looked at. We don't have the luxury of taking any approach off the table." --------- Kelly Wanser --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "geoengineering" group.
