LATEST FROM THE WORLD OF "SCIENCE" - AT 7:44 A.M. ET: 

WASHINGTON (AP) - The president's new science adviser said Wednesday that global warming is so dire, the Obama administration is discussing radical technologies to cool Earth's air.

John Holdren told The Associated Press in his first interview since being confirmed last month that the idea of geoengineering the climate is being discussed. One such extreme option includes shooting pollution particles into the upper atmosphere to reflect the sun's rays. Holdren said such an experimental measure would only be used as a last resort.

"It's got to be looked at," he said. "We don't have the luxury of taking any approach off the table."

COMMENT:  Holdren's appointment was a bow to ultra-environmentalists.   He is a member of the royal family of global-warming alarmists.  We need to hold this man down until other scientists examine what he's doing.  I don't want anything shot into our atmosphere because of someone's theory.
