Re: Climate scientists: it's time for 'Plan B'

Aside from the obvious problems with triggered algal blooms, since when did cloud cover equal cooling? Sure during the day if the sun goes behind the clouds it feels a little cold, but heat in the long term gets trapped - it can't escape back into space at anywhere near the rate it would if there was normal cloud cover, or no clouds. Clouds promote the greenhouse effect.

There is so much we can do that we haven't done, and I'm in agreement with those who say they haven't actually seen the governments or the people make any effort to tackle the problem. I know many people have gotten fed up with the media scaremongering, exaggerating, dumbing down and have stopped believing - or caring - that we are responsible for the problem, the government haven't actually done anything about it. They have plenty of power over the media and I think by now they should know that all scaremongering accomplishes is disinterest, worry and very sketchy panicked and misinformed action.

People need to want to change things and in a big way, quite frankly I can't see that ever happening. Plan B only aims to treat the symptoms.
