And has it been proved wrong yet?
Why has nobody spotted a Cylon on earth? Because they hide. It's part of their treachery. If they weren't being treacherous, there'd be no reason for them to hide, would there?
Yeah. He's my hero.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

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.
There would be side effects, proponents admit. An effective sunlight-scattering particle ring would illuminate our night sky as much as the full Moon, for example.
And the price tag would knock the socks off even a big-budget agency like NASA: $6 trillion to $200 trillion for the particle approach. Deploying tiny spacecraft would come at a relative bargain: a mere $500 billion tops.
But the idea, detailed today in the online version of the journal Acta Astronautica, illustrates that climate change can be battled with new technologies, according to one scientist not involved in the new work.

Um, getting the tiny particles up there is not that hard. However, if the tiny particles bring on Global Winter, how do you get them down again?
