bit of science: Today’s paradox: global warming may offset Criegee cooling
Of science finding a ‚global cooling particle‘ that has always been there is not the same as actually influencing temperature – offsetting global warming – through some form of solar radiation management geoengineering.
Reuters: New molecule could help cool planet
„A new molecule has been detected in the earth’s atmosphere which could help produce a cooling effect, scientists said, but it remains to be seen whether it can play a major role in tackling global warming.„
