Hi John,
Building a nanomachine or a space elevator is hardly near the scale of changing the Earths climate. In case you are not aware, volcanism and seismicity have been increasing steadily in the past 6 years. There are many volcanoes that have not erupted for over 10,000 years, which are just now erupting again. In the past year, there have been three M6 earthquakes in the Gulf of Mexico, an M7+ quake in Mozambique, and the Ethiopian rift zone spread by dozens of feet right before the eyes of scientists, just to name a few major Earth change events. You have little appreciation for the magnitude of momentum Earth changes carry. The climate is just one factor of many, which are interrelated, and it all traces back to the Sun. However, there is a new wildcard in play. Our solar system just entered an Interstellar cloud about nine years ago and we wont be leaving it for 10,000 to 50,000 years. Contrary to the myths purveyed by Al Gore and the IPCC, the climate is not just a matter of CO2 balance. People who buy into this great deception are incredibly naïve and ignorant. The current global warming debate appears to be some kind of intentional misinformation campaign to divert peoples attention from the real underlying mechanics presently in motion. There is nothing we can do to stop the present cycle of change, but we can prepare for the damage that will occur. Not everybody will survive, that is a given. Wasting our money and resources trying to bail out a sinking ship with a teaspoon is not the solution. We should be staffing the life rafts and gathering our provisions. To keep the ship from rolling over we might increase survivability by blowing the hull. We could take a lesson from Noah, who was one of the few who understood the severity of the problem, last time. There is no point in arguing when everyone is so certain his or her own knowledge is complete. I have presented a lot of very interesting information on the Terracycles site for anyone who is interested. I have learned loads more in the five years since. Im spending my time doing what I can to prepare, not only for myself, but for future generations. If you want to waste your time trying to reduce CO2 emissions, when they should be increased, that is up to you. BTW, why do you think our society has developed into a huge fossil fuel consuming civilization when liquid metal fast breeder reactors have been around since the 1940s? Why do you think all those energy saving and free energy inventions have been suppressed over the past 100 years? Why do you think the UFO phenomenon is always debunked, even when there is obvious photographic and physical evidence of its existence? People (or beings) far more influential than us have been aware of the coming Earth changes for a long time. We are mere cows on a huge farm concerned about who poops where while our overlords are looking at our market value. Just take a deep breath and reflect on the greater picture. We cant change the fact that the Earth is changing, but we can keep the human species alive if we put our minds to it. Dave Make an elevator to geosynchronous (I assume?) orbit. Make nano machines Both of those may even be near future. For the somewhat more distant future there are thoughts such a traveling to distant stars and beyond. Dyson spheres. Tippler time travel by rotating a stack of neutron stars and other stellar engineering. And of course terraforming other planets. So obviously it IS possible, it is within man's grasp to either correct the current greenhouse gas problem and or stop any adverse global weather condition. How easy or difficult depends on how such a goal is achieved, how subtle and sophisticated or ingenious the techniques used are, for instance I believe in cloud busting and other such environmental engineering by the subtle energies of nature that I suspect many in here would reject, needless to say it could be achieved more easily this way than by a brute force method but either way it plainly IS possible.

It has already happened a dozen times in the past 120,000 years. What makes you think we are special and climate change was not going to happen to us? Dave
