Global Warming is real. But the way we have chosen to fight it is ineffective. Even if we could stop all production of greenhouse gases (and that's not going to happen), the concentration of these pernicious gases that we have built up since the beginning of the Industrial Age would not decrease significantly for many hundreds of years. What we are doing is too little and too late. We need time to go green; otherwise we will bankrupt ourselves in a futile effort to do this in just a few decades.

The adverse effects of global warming are already happening. The ice sheets of the Arctic Ocean are disappearing. Glaciers are sliding into the sea. An ice sheet seven times the size of Manhattan Island has just broken off from Antarctica (the poles react to global warming first). Coral reefs are dying and bleaching white in all of our oceans. Lakes are warming up, failing to mix as often as necessary to keep them from becoming polluted, and many of them are beginning to lose their pristine blue color (they expect this to happen to Lake Tahoe in less than ten years). And our governments are warning coastal communities to prepare for increased flooding.

Many of our most accomplished climatologists and atmospheric scientists have encouraged our attempts to reduce our output of greenhouse gases, but they have also suggested methods of stopping and even reversing adverse climate change by other means to stop impending disasters. The sources for the following opinions and technical recommendations are listed in the final two paragraphs of this article. The methods suggested by these scientists are in the category of geo-engineering. Specifically, these methods are called "Solar-Shade Technology." Solar-shade technology can stop and even reverse global warming in less than a year. These technologies are designed to block or reflect back less than two percent of the sun's light/heat energy before it penetrates our atmosphere. But it will take years to investigate these technologies, to develop and implement them and to figure out how to shut them down rapidly if they manifest any unacceptable adverse effects. Some of these technologies will be expensive, but they will not interfere with the economic progress of the world.

Solar-shade technology is not being talked about or published to the public primarily because the world's governments and scientists do not want to discourage the efforts we are making to reduce our output
