Jolly Roger you are correct in stating that not all scientists have reached a consensus the way some people claim. Although I don’t get quite as nasty and nutty in bashing Al Gore the way the extreme right – wing sometimes does. There’s no scientific doubt whatsoever that CO2 is indeed a greenhouse gas and contributes to warming. What is still questionable, however, is the fact that there are so many other factors and variables in a more complex equation that can influence the final outcome. Just as scary (if not more so) …… is the fact that a super volcano eruption like Yellowstone National Park could still cause an ice age …… and put the remaining survivors of humanity back into the stone age …… regardless of how much manmade warming we have.

Although the concept by Professor Alfred Y. Wong of UCLA to use the Earth’s own magnetic field to accelerate CO2 molecules into outer space sounds far – fetched, it is based on sound principles of physics. Although some people have considered the harmful environmental implications of such a large manmade construction project like that situated in polar regions of either arctic or antarctic.

It’s definitely an unusual and interesting approach to the problem regardless of whether it’s all that workable or practical or not.
