How to save the planet: Moon mining, iron filings and fake volcanoes - Telegraph

Why not just drill a couple hundred mile hole into Yellowstone and drop some nukes that are timed to go off near the bottom?

You think people have control over the planet. Bless your heart.

Build a belt around the sun whose opacity can be controlled and thus take control of the amount of solar radiation striking the planet at all times.

Move the planet to a slightly more distant orbital radius.

Drop enough iron-bearing chondritic asteroids into the sun to start reducing it's rate of fission.

Zero human GHG emissions, repair all the deforestation and begin sequestration efforts.

One would suppose that the plan to spread black carbon over the Arctic back in the 70's would be an object lesson for thinking people that we aren't even close to knowing enough about either the sun, or our own planet to begin thinking in terms of climate engineering......oops, forgot. You guys aren't thinking people...you guys are "feeling" people....as evidenced by your idiot musings.

Sounds easy enough.

Go read your Bible before science gets you!

No, he was not.

 

[Abraham3]

He claimed to be a Catholic, but everyone did then that didn't want to spend some quality time on the rack. Pascal knew him well and thought he was. I'll take Pascal's word and the clear result that Descartes philosophies lead me to: The man was an atheist.

It doesn't seem you are familiar with any of his writing. Descartes was not an atheist. Sorry.

How to save the planet...that's easy.
First...find a young star that is about the same size as the sun...a few billion years from now when our sun ages and shows signs of transitioning into a red giant...move it somewhere else, and replace it in a mathematically perfect position with the younger star.
There. Problem solved.

Given his philosophy, with what actions did he credit god? He flatly rejects the supernatural. In Descartes' universe, all events have causes.

What the...now we need steve in here to talk about gays too, that way we stay consistent with turning every thread into gay stuff and arguments about atheist/religion

You haven't read any of his works, have you? The First, Second, and Fifth Meditations for example? Your ignorance seems quite complete.

Seems? You name the topic and the guy is totally clueless....any topic.

Typo.

Descartes was extremely devout, but he also invented the scientific method which means that he thought that it was important to question everything, remove bias, and that Naturalism was sufficient to explain the material world.

The reason I quote him is because he was so religious and still believed that doubt was important. It's to get people to doubt and question their dogma, doctrines, orthodoxy, and presuppositions.

Ever hear about the dyslexic agnostic who spent years contemplating the existence of dog?
