Clean Technica: Scientists Prescribe A Healthy Dose Of Sulphate Particles To Promote Global Cooling On The Cheap

„June 16, 1883. The island of Krakatoa in the Java Straits disappears in a volcanic eruption so powerful it blots out the sun in many places around the world. Millions of tons of hydrogen sulfide gas are hurled high into the Earth’s atmosphere, where they remain for years. Tracking the ash clouds from Krakatoa alerts the scientific community for the first time to the existence of the jet streams.“

The Nation: Scientists propose new way to tackle climate change

„LOS ANGELES-Scientists have proposed a new way to tackle climate change by spraying sun-dimming chemicals into the Earth’s atmosphere, according to a study published on other day. Scientists at Harvard and Yale universities have proposed using a technique known as Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI), which they believe could cut the rate of global warming by half, according to a paper published in the journal Environmental Research Letters.“

Gundersen, C.; et al. (2018): Growth response of environmental bacteria under exposure to nitramines from CO2-capture

Gundersen, C.; Andersen, T.; Vogt, R.; Allison, S. (2018): Growth response of environmental bacteria under exposure to nitramines from CO2-capture. In: International Journal of Greenhouse Gas Control 79, S. 248–251. DOI: 10.1016/j.ijggc.2018.11.003.

„Results from this study provide insight into important processes of bacterial response to nitramines that merit further investigation considering the ongoing implementation of CO2 capture technology.“
