Monday Roundup

GUAM
I've posted a few pictures.

We've actually seen a few birds the past couple of days. Birds (other than chickens -- which run wild everywhere) are rare. The official cause of the demise of the bird population is the invasion of the brown snakes that occurred during WWII. However, many locals think it has to do with the herbicides that were used on the island during the war.

QUICK & EASY REVERSAL OF GLOBAL WARMING
Stephen Salter of the University of Edinburgh is proposing a fleet of yachts that sprays water droplets into the clouds as the way to damp down global warming. According to the researcher, the droplets will boost the whiteness of low-altitude clouds so that they reflect more sunlight back into space.

Salter believes that chimneys mounted on a fleet of 500 sprayer yachts would cancel a year's worth of global warming from carbon dioxide emissions over their 20-year lifetime. Link
