LU, Q.-B (2013): Cosmic-ray-driven Reaction and Greenhouse Effects of Halogenated Molecules

LU, Q.-B (2013): Cosmic-ray-driven Reaction and Greenhouse Effects of Halogenated Molecules. Culprits for Atmospheric Ozone Deplition and Global Climate Change. In Int. J. Mod. Phys. B, p. 1350073. DOI 10.1142/S0217979213500732.

„This study is focused on the effects of cosmic rays (solar activity) and halogen-containing molecules (mainly chlorofluorocarbons — CFCs) on atmospheric ozone depletion and global climate change. Brief reviews are first given on the cosmic-ray-driven electron-induced-reaction (CRE) theory for O3 depletion and the warming theory of halogenated molecules for climate change.“

Panel discussion: New Priority Program on the assessment of CE in Germany

03.06.2013, Berlin

A new Priority Program on the assessment of climate engineering is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG): „Climate Engineering: Risks, Challenges, Opportunities?“ (SPP 1689) – coordinated by Andreas Oschlies, GEOMAR, Kiel. Its first 3-year phase (2012-2015) is funded with about 5 Mio Euro. The kick-off meeting will take place in Berlin 3rd of June 2013.
