Volcanic Dust Cooling?

Scientists Run Simulations on Geoengineering Project

According to this article, scientists apparently feel that the best way to keep global warming down is to simulate the cooling that volcanic eruptions create (Baumgardner's "Catastrophic Plate Tectonics Theory"- a theory for what physically happened to our earth during The Biblical World Wide Flood- proposes that volcanic ash and earth dust from the sudden moving of our earth's crust is what caused our planet's Ice Age). The article talks about using sulfate dust particles, similar to volcanic eruptions, as the means to do this. They admit that (assuming global warming does actually exist) not reducing CO2 levels in the air would still be a problem as they say it still creates more acidic oceans (that's a new one to me, and need to do some research on it).

My concern: last I checked, following volcanic eruptions tends to be what has been called "acid rain." In other words, the rain fall is not a near neutral 6.7 ph (ideally, water would be 7 ph, being completely neutral in acidic or base content). It is at least .1 ph more acidic than normal water. Now, in reality, this doesn't mean anything, but last I heard, scientists were saying that acid rain was to blame for more acidic oceans, more acidic fresh water supplies, building and historic monument erosion, etc. So, wouldn't this geoengineering project only make things worse, in the end game? Sure, it's not going to be so acidic that our flesh is melting off (thank you "Captain Planet" cartoon writers for that picture), but it's still bad, despite that our earth could be cooler. Of course, doing so could usher in the next Ice Age, too. Like the one we've been experiencing here in the Mid-West since just after Christmas, just a lot longer....

Obama and abortion

I don't normally get into politics, but I believe that people need to see this. A lot of people are very concerned about Hillary making president, but we should be just as concerned about Obama and McCain.

It doesn't surprise me to hear that the current center stage spotlight of the Democratic party is pro-choice, though he CLAIMS to be a Christian (I won't even get into the whole fact that The Church of Christ which Obama claims to be tied to preaches faith + baptism = salvation, when the Bible clearly teaches faith in Christ alone = salvation). What surprised me in reading this article was to what extent his voting record shows his support for pro-choice. How anyone claiming to be born again could support such a man, knowing this issue is at stake, is beyond me. I know some of my friends have decided that- due to not wanting McCain in and knowing that Huckabee can't win at the current numbers (have to wonder what it might look like if people had voted their consciouses instead of voting for the guy most likely to win, though) have decided that Obama is their guy. If you believe what the Bible teaches regarding the sanctity of human life, you must reconsider what you're doing in voting for him. I have to wonder who- if anyone- can be supported with my vote since Huckabee is the only pro-life guy out there and is almost 900 delegates behind....
