I have to write an essay that is similar to Jonathan Swift's "a modest proposal". In Swift's version, he proposes that in order to solve the poverty and food shortage in Ireland, most of the babies of poor people should be eaten. He makes a formal argument in the rhetorical style. It is highly satirical, and he does not belive what he writes.
I want to do the same thing with Global warming. (I Do not believe my following proposal, it is for a paper) My "modestly inconvenient proposal" is this: (in a nutshell) slaughter everyone in Africa, Asia, South America, and the middle east. Level their cities. Plant trees where human civilization once stood. I don't believe in this AT ALL, it is just for a paper. Anyway, I was wondering if someone could get me a rough estimate of
a) how much the temperature of the earth would decrease if the above act was carries out and
b) by how much the oxygen concentration on the world would increase.
