And blast the whole planet with radiation? Are you crazy?
Won't someone think of the Irish people on beaches?
Admittedly, you'd need a layer of ozone (self sustaining so long as you don't have some kind of chemical that causes ozone to not form, but who'd have that?). And probably some kind of hot liquid metal contraption in the middle of the earth, sustained by, like Uranium decay or tidal friction or something, to generate a magnetic field to protect us.
Some Irish people would probably still die of radiation poisoning on beaches, but that's a sacrifice the rest of us are willing to make.
