A different, more politically correct title which means: Same song, same verse.. (same verse, as there is only one, repeating ad nauseum).
I post this on my space here periodically as "World Events" with a splash of "Sign of the Times" because I simply don't see how such remarkable stupidity/ insanity cannot be related to the events heralding in the End of Days. Call me nutty but I'd like to hear someone else's explanation of this in rational form.
So, here we are at what I assume is a typical lame-stream media reporting service, Associated Press (or AP). How they reported this without a tag line such as "They can't POSSIBLY be serious", "April Fools!" or my personal favorite, "Excuse me?!?!" I do not know.

Obama looks at climate engineering
Apr 8 10:55 AM US/EasternBy SETH BORENSTEINAP Science Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) -
The president's new science adviser said Wednesday that global warming is so dire the Obama administration is discussing radical technologies to cool Earth's air. (I'm assuming by this all the outside windows were blacked out and the heaters turned up at the time. Can't let all that snow get in our way! - J),
John Holdren told The Associated Press in his first interview since being confirmed last month that the idea of geoengineering the climate is being discussed. One such extreme option includes shooting pollution particles into the upper atmosphere to reflect the sun's rays. Holdren said such an experimental measure would only be used as a last resort.
"It's got to be looked at," he said. "We don't have the luxury of taking any approach off the table."
Holdren outlined several "tipping points" involving global warming that could be fast approaching. Once such milestones are reached, such as complete loss of summer sea ice in the Arctic, it increases chances of "really intolerable consequences," he said. (or if you want a "second opinion" http://www.icecap.us/ .........like my "green" highlighting?)
Twice in a half-hour interview, Holdren compared global warming to being "in a car with bad brakes driving toward a cliff in the fog." (or a bad joke that has been told too many times and at long last is losing its humor.)
At first, Holdren characterized the potential need to technologically tinker with the climate as just his personal view. However, he went on to say he has raised it in administration discussions.
Holdren, a 65-year-old physicist, is far from alone in taking geoengineering more seriously. The National Academy of Science is making climate tinkering the subject of its first workshop in its new multidiscipline climate challenges program. The British parliament has also discussed the idea.
The American Meteorological Society is crafting a policy statement on geoengineering that says "it is prudent to consider geoengineering's potential, to understand its limits and to avoid rash deployment."
Just to interupt here for a moment but you might find it interesting that "Geoengineering" is apparently not a word, according to any dictionary I could find. (Wait for it. Give it about 24 hours) The only source I could find was off of the wonderful bastion of conservative thought called "Wikipedia" and its offshoot "Wiktionary"
It says, and I kid you not:
Geoengineering:
The artificial manipulation of the environments of the Earth, especially as a means of counteracting "global warming."
So, now not only are they rewriting the dictionary they're adding entries out of thin air that meet the agenda.
How convenient.
Meanwhile.....
Last week, Princeton scientist Robert Socolow told the National Academy that geoengineering should be an available option in case climate worsens dramatically.
But Holdren noted that shooting particles into the air—making an artificial volcano as one Nobel laureate has suggested—could have grave side effects and would not completely solve all the problems from soaring greenhouse gas emissions. So such actions could not be taken lightly, he said.
Still, "we might get desperate enough to want to use it," he added.
Another geoengineering option he mentioned was the use of so-called artificial trees to suck carbon dioxide—the chief human-caused greenhouse gas—out of the air and store it. At first that seemed prohibitively expensive, but a re-examination of the approach shows it might be less costly, he said.

So by this article I'm going to guess these people never watched "Star Trek". Actually doing things on purpose to the atmosphere by shooting POLLUTION INTO THE CLOUDS (by that sentence alone you know that the greenies have flipped their recycled lids) ends up with dire planetary consequences! You know, burning off the ozone, aliens invading, the Enterprise has to swoop in and save us while talking sternly to the planets administration, massive catastrophes, red-shirts dying off in droves...etc.
Ok, ok.... I know that's just silly.
Besides, we aren't warp capable yet so they'll just have to let us fry.
Prime Directive and all that you know.
Ahem...
Ok, my point is that can this get any more nuts? Now our administration is associating with what amounts to mad scientists! "A need to technologically tinker with the Climate?!?!" They can't POSSIBLY be serious! Just for fun you might read the 47 comments (when I read anyway) posted about the article. (Just be aware on some comments viewer discretion is advised.) Not ONE was even remotely for such trash.
With tongue somewhat in cheek, I sure take this as a Sign of the Times.
Maybe next time we'll discuss something more end-timish such as the now-legal homosexual marriages: coming soon to a State near you.
All kidding aside though......I recommend....Pray....Pray pray pray pray pray pray!
Amen.
