If the global warming people are right then all we have to do is
release 500,000,000,000 white rubber duckies into the oceans.
Or, if the global cooling people are right then releasing
500,000,000,000 black rubber duckies into the oceans should do it.


The exact number to be released can be calculated.



I realize this idea is silly but the underlying ideas are sound and
could be fine tuned to work out the earth temperature problems.


The best solution should be reversible. For example, instead of rubber
ducks we substitute styrofoam sheets that are painted black on one
side and left white on the other. Dimensions? A 10" x 10" x 1""
shett might work. These sheets could float in the oceans bouncing or
trapping light as needed.


I repeat ( IT IS TIME FOR THE RUBBER DUCKS TO SAVE THE WORLD )

There was a shipment sunken several years ago in the Pacific. The
little duckies have been turning up everywhere in the Pacific.

They were yellow..............
