Today was the annual W&M Environmental Law and Policy Review symposium. This year’s topic, titled “Emission Not Accomplished: The Future of Carbon Emissions in a Changing World,” featured hours of lectures from experts knowledgeable about global warming.
Unfortunately, not one of them mentioned this recent study that shows that zombie attacks might increase due to global warming. We need to stop pretending this isn’t happening and do something now (I’m talking about zombies, obviously).
The most interesting proposal of the day came from Alan Carlin, an accomplished economist and scientist from the EPA. His solution? Solar Radiation Management. Blocking the sun with particles spewed from manmade volcanoes, seeded clouds from cargo planes, and cannons blasting confetti. A science fiction future might save Denver from becoming beachfront property.
Oh, and Maritime Law might be a growth industry.
