Spraying millions of metric tons of sulfate particles into the atmosphere could reverse some human-caused global warming, a new study shows. But the simulations also reveal that the technique, which mimics the short-term cooling effects of volcanic eruptions, could chill the planet if overdone.Hopefully, the world 'leaders' can start to work together and help plan for the future of this world. But I won't hold my breath ... not when there are such as Bush (not that he's the only idiot) around.

Finally, science is using its collective brain cells to come up with ideas ...

Ah, didn't we require power plant to use expensive equipment to reduce their sulfure emissions because it was causing acid rain?
Gee, maybe it would be better to just sit here, enjoy the hot weather and roast or drown.
What I'm glad to see is some discussion on possible approaches. Besides, the article makes it pretty clear that trying to implement such a scheme country by country or factory by factory would be even more unpredictable. Not to mention that humans being human if such a scenario is even possible they are going to think they don't need to make any changes here on the surface of this overused globe. Plus I don't know how these particle behave after they are put into the atmosphere though I doubt it's exactly like smoke spewing out of a chimney.
