...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...
So in order to save the planet it may be necessary to inject particles into the atmosphere to cool it.

So will we then pump more particles into the atmosphere to cool the earth and then.......
