Leave Well Enough Alone, Please

A couple of scientists who apparently believe in man-made global warming are advocating tinkering with Earth's climate by adding mineral particulates and dusts into the atmosphere to cool things down.

They want to do experiments along the lines of what happens when a major volcanic eruption occcurs, i.e., the blasting of sulfate particles into the upper atmosphere, resulting in global cooling.

Letting climate scientists tinker with the Earth's climate is rather like letting your neighbor's kid fix your Rolex watch: he may be a good kid, but his grasp on the task at hand leaves a lot to be desired, nor does he have the proper tools to do the work. Climate is only imperfectly understood, despite the cocksure declarations of global warming scientists.
