Global Warming

Global warming: I know what you're thinking - 'this is going to be boring'. Well, pack it in. Global warming is something that will have an impact on ALL of us and it's time that those of us thinking outside the normal limits of human curiosity started to come up with some flipping BIG ideas.

Now, I'm no expert on this, so I'm counting on others to actually do the fiddly maths. But I reckon this is worth serious consideration.

Right. Approx 10% of the UK is urbanised. Right? It should be LAW (yes, LAW) that all new builds be constructed with brilliant white glass reinforced plastic roofs. Gradually we could get students (this is where the idea links into my thinking on higher education), we get students, ok, to clad all urban area roofs in the same GRP material.

Result - 10% of the suns rays get bounced back to deep space. Or, if we fancied the idea (note to self, link this to defence thinking) we could direct the rays to a big reflecting satellite that would then bounce them back down to France.

Someone do the maths on this, quick. We have no time to loose.
