Giant mirrors in space!

The US government wants the world's scientists to develop technology to block sunlight as a last-ditch way to halt global warming, the Guardian has learned. It says research into techniques such as giant mirrors in space or reflective dust pumped into the atmosphere would be "important insurance" against rising emissions, and has lobbied for such a strategy to be recommended by a major UN report on climate change, the first part of which will be published on Friday.

Whaddaya bet the DOOFUS thought that one up himself? It really sounds like a DOOFUS idea, doesn't it? Maximum cost, minimum chance of actually accomplishing anything. Of course these mirrors won't actually have to accomplish anything because by the time they're ready we'll all be running our cars on swamp grass or whatever that stuff was. But then, so what? We can always figure out something fun to do with them. I mean, hey baby, if you think mirrors on the ceiling are kinky....
