I think this is a great idea. It would be interesting to see what it
did to climate models of course... and if it made Iran drier, it could
lead to more political problems. But the first problem I see with it
is that a number of fundamentalist Christians would see it as a
fulfillment of prophecy... and that might cause some real problems.
