I had a figure of 40 million tons/year, but I must have lost an 0 somewhere. Still a neat hope, overall. Some super greenhouse gas is needed. I think I remember reading that CO2 was 1000 times more effective than methane, or maybe I got that backwards. SPF 50 is sure a great sun blocker! Somehow I think Venus is a better bet. Easier to subtract gas than add it.

- 5 tons/sec. over time is probably higher than the industrial capacity of earth right now. (n/t) - ebnelson - 12/14/2004 3:34:47 PM
