Geoengineering Could Be Effective Solution In Fight Against Global Warming
NCPA Expert Says Environmentalists Don't Agree Because of Separate Agenda
Dallas (April 15, 2009) - National Center for Policy Analysis Senior Fellow,
H. Sterling Burnett, applauds the Obama Administration for considering
geoengineering to cool down the earth's climate in an effort to fight global
warming. Burnett says geoengineering solutions arguably provide the most
effective solutions that can be quickly implemented, and that do not call
for sacrificing economic progress.
"It's good to see that the Obama Administration is considering all options
in response to the potential challenges of climate change," Burnett says.
"While I don't believe that we can attribute the warming trend of the last
half of the 20th century to humans, if global warming is a problem,
technology is the way out of it that won't damage the economy or place undue
burdens on the poor."
Tinkering with the earth's climate was once dismissed and considered a
radical idea, and is still disputed by environmentalists.
"Environmentalists are opposed to geoengineering solutions because they
don't demand sacrifice," Burnett says. "Environmentalists are not concerned
about global warming, but rather about their power to control how we live.
They want to force people to live less consumptive lifestyles."
Although Obama's science advisor says geoengineering is a last resort, he
also mentions that they don't have the luxury of ruling any approach out.
Burnett agrees and thinks the Obama Administration should stay open minded
about things that combat global warming.
