another bizarre- and most likely ineffective- idea came to me this afternoon. i remembered a chem class in high school where the instructor used sulfuric acid to dehydrate sugar. the reaction gave solid graphite carbon, heat, lots of water steam, and acid vapor. i wonder if something like this

So all of the solar panels I'm installing to try to do a small part of generating low carbon electricity would become less effective. Thanks guys. They include seeding the skies with compounds to encourage the formation of low-lying, cooling clouds;

Yes in fact the tragedy of 09 11 ironically gave us a glimpse of just how true this is. The no fly period gave climatologists an unprecedented opportunity to see just what the effects of sulfur emmissions from high flying jets has on our current environment. Sufuric acid has a very high
