Releasing sulphur across an area in the upper atmosphere is not the same thing as emitting it for decades from a chimney on the ground, by the time it (SOx?) settles down to the troposphere i'd imagine it would be much diluted. Its not like theres many forests left anyway, and climate change is killing them quicker than we can cut them down, so any acid rain probably comes under 'lesser evil' in the cost benefit analysis. <br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://news.independent.co.uk/environment/article1191880.ece">news.independent.co.uk/en...191880.ece</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>I'd support it, so long as we try absolutely everything else first (and start with a 90% cut in first world energy and resource consumption).<br><br>Just for the record Hugh, the first and biggest ozone hole is over the ANTarctic, is caused by chlorine and bromine compounds, (not sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide), and has little or no known relationship to anthropogenic greenhouse or acid rain. <br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.atm.ch.cam.ac.uk/tour/part3.html">www.atm.ch.cam.ac.uk/tour/part3.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.theozonehole.com/">www.theozonehole.com/</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ozone_depletion">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ozone_depletion</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br><br><br><br> <p></p><i></i>

hugh, will you kindly STFU about the goddamned keyjacking crap, please? The 'weather ballon and artillery shelling' tricks have been in circulation every since "Policy Implications of Greenhouse Warming: Mitigation, Adaptation, and the Science Base" was published back in 1992.

I'd rather pay attention to the topic under discussion if that's ok with you. Seriously, I don't mean to be 'terse', but it would be really great if you could focus on thread topics a bit more. In regards to this one, the largest 'confusion' element introduced is the one you're orchestrating right now. How do you propose to raise awareness of these alledged techniques when you so vociferously employ them yourself, eh?<br><br>:P <p>____________________<br>Some are born to sweet delight, some are born to endless night.</p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=etinarcadiaego@rigorousintuition>et in Arcadia ego</A>  <IMG HEIGHT=10 WIDTH=10 SRC="http://www.sickle666.com/images/Arcadia.jpg" BORDER=0> at: 8/2/06 2:00 am<br></i>

I see in your other posts that you moderated a chemtrails site so obviously you have lots of info on the topic. You also write that you got burned out on the nonsense and disruption that fogged the topic so I can understand your attitude.<br><br>I would just add that I'm not trying to obscure one topic with another when I try to see if that is what is happening. No, I don't want to become the monster I fight.

Here's some logic to chew on. De-regulation has been pretty much a perpetual agenda since Bush took office(and before, if we're gonna be honest). When the Kyoto Treaty was rejected by Bush, it had to have been done for a good reason, comments about Bush's idiocy are not acceptable propositions. If you read Teller's University paper, which was <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>commissioned</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> by the US Government as solicting solutions to Global Warming(the same global warming that Bush denied as existing), you'll see that Teller did a significant amount of number crunching on more than one detail, among them was a comparisson between an aluminum deposition program versus heavy corporate regulations.<br><br>The ratio of expense was something like 10:1.<br><br>Finding the Teller PDF is tricky business, but if I come across it I'll post a link here as it's essential reading.

Another publication worth finding:<br><br>"Impact of geoengineering schemes on the terrestrial biosphere", by Govindasamy, B.; Thompson, S.; Duffy, P. B.; Caldeira, K.; Delire, C.<br><br>Abstract:<br><br>"Climate stabilization via ``Geoengineering'' schemes seek to mitigate climate change due to increased greenhouse gases by compensating reduction in solar radiation incident on earth's surface. In this paper, we address the impact of these climate stabilization schemes on terrestrial biosphere using equilibrium simulations from a coupled atmosphere-terrestrial biosphere model. Climate stabilization would tend to limit changes in vegetation distribution brought on by climate change, but would not prevent CO2-induced changes in Net Primary Productivity (NPP) or biomass; indeed, if CO2 fertilization is significant, then a climate-stabilized world could have higher NPP than our current world. Nevertheless, there are many reasons why geoengineering is not a preferred option for climate stabilization."<br>_________________<br><br>Also, here is a direct link to the complete article from Nobel laureate Paul Crutzen from the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry in Germany and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California at San Diego.
