Because it's just too difficult to reduce greenhouse emissions...

Space Ring Could Shade Earth and Stop Global Warming - Yahoo! News:

A wild idea to combat global warming suggests creating an artificial ring of small particles or spacecrafts around Earth to shade the tropics and moderate climate extremes.

The cost? Six to 200 trillion dollars. And it would illuminate our night sky as much as the full Moon, for example.

But, you know, what else can we do?

What makes me sad are all the people who have bought bikes, only to sell it on craig's list after riding it twice.

Perhaps there is a connection.

Well, we could set up a ring of barely-used bicycles to shelter us from global warming.

Was waterworld that bad? I mean ya, sure, you have to drink your own pee...or Kevin Cosners pee...but growing gills? That could be cool.

I secretly liked Waterworld. I only wish it didn't suck so bad. I also would not drink Kevin's pee.

Well, I think Waterworld really benefited from the fact that everyone's expectations were so low. Really it was just like Mad Max, only with a surfeit of water.

The coolest part of Waterworld was the very beginning where they flooded the Universal logo.
