Since the imaginary global warming crisis is absurd, efforts to combat it must also be absurd. Fortunately, moonbats have the ideal mindset to come up with appropriate solutions — such as painting the Andes white[1]:
By painting the mountains, Eduardo Gold hopes to replicate the effect of Andean glaciers, which reflect back sunlight and hence heat back through the atmosphere.
This sounds like a joke, but they’re actually doing it.
Four workmen have been given the task of painting three peaks, starting with Peru’s Chalon Sombrero peak, which lies 4,756 metres above sea level. … The painters who have already completed two hectares of a planned 70 have been recruited from Licapa village, which depends on the run-off from the mountain for its water.
It’s unclear whether they are painting the mountains solid white, or painting a giant white likeness of Al Gore’s face.
Global warming isn’t real, but damage caused by fools mistaking their left-wing ideology for scientific reality very well might be — if only the economic damage to those forced to pay for environmentalist master plans.
The £135,000-project is funded by the World Bank after Mr Gold won a “100 Ideas to Save the Planet” competition last year.
That means money stolen out of your paycheck finances this lunacy.
Painting mountains white won out over some other fascinating ideas:
Firing mirrors into space to reflect the sun’s rays, or feeding cattle garlic to reduce methane emissions have been mooted.
Peru’s Environment Minister Antonio Brack sums up the mountain-painting project succinctly:
“It’s nonsense.”
If it doesn’t cause liberals to proclaim the problem to be solved, why don’t we paint the ocean? Maybe we should try painting it black, so the sun can’t find us.
