#5 I had to read a third of the way through before I saw it was a spoof. Not that I didn't immediately see the idea was idiotic, but all kinds of idiocy gets hailed as 'sustainable' and necessary for climate stability.

Good spoof though.

#7 It's so hard to tell that it's a spoof because there's so much similar bad science going around these days masquerading as fact.

#8 Well, couldn't we make the earth cooler by corking up Ted Kennedy's blowhole? Oh...wait, best do both ends. Still, I'm sure it'd have immediate, measurable impact.

#9 Ye gods, Silentbrick. If you do that, you'd better not let him ride the subway. I mean, sooner or later, BOOM.

As if His Imperiousness Teddy rids the subway at all. Nooooo, His Blowhardiness only uses government subsidized limos for his commute.

Not to mention that the alcohol fumes alone would be toxic to anyine within 19 feet of him...

#12 I had a chemistry teacher in high school that taught to read the whole test question (or article) before answering (or letting your blood pressure skyrocket). I failed this one. It was just too close to reality.

#13 An added benefit here would be that the Earth will spin on its axis faster....
