Russia knows how to prevent global warming - academic

MOSCOW, May 30 (RIA Novosti) - Russian scientists have found a way to 
prevent global warming of the Earth, the director of the Global 
Climate and Ecology Institute said Wednesday. 

Russian Academy of Sciences Academic Yury Izrael told a news 
conference that the method envisions air spraying of a sulfur-
containing aerosol in lower stratosphere layers at a height of 10-14 
kilometers (six to 10 miles). Sulfur drops would then reflect solar 
radiation. 

According to scientists, one million tons of aerosol sprayed above 
the planet would make possible a reduction of solar radiation by 0.5-
1%, and a reduction of air temperature by 1-1.5 degrees Celsius. 

Unseasonably hot May weather with temperatures at 32.1 degrees 
Celsius (89.7 degrees Fahrenheit) beating a 116-year-old maximum has 
already seen last year's energy consumption for this time of year 
surpassed by about 8% in Moscow and 12% in St. Petersburg, a 
spokeswoman for the UES electricity monopoly said earlier. 

Izrael said the method demands more detailed development, and that a 
relevant decision on the international level should be made for it to 
come into force. 

However, the academic said the method is not an alternative to 
measures to fight climate change envisioned by the Kyoto Protocol, 
which contains commitments by some countries on specific volumes of 
greenhouse gas emission reductions. 

"I don't want any contradiction of the Kyoto Protocol, but in 
parallel with existing methods, cheaper ones should be developed. I 
am advocating that work be conducted simultaneously on several 
methods," Izrael said. 

He also said the Russian scientists' method will make the fight 
against warming faster and cheaper. "It is also good that it can be 
stopped at any moment," Izrael said. 

The Russian academic said global temperature in the coming 100 years 
could rise by 1.4-4 degrees Celsius, which, he said, will cause 
droughts, floods and cyclones. He said Russia could face the 
extinction of 20-30% of its animals and plants if temperatures rise 
by 2 degrees Celsius. 

However, Izrael said the current high temperatures in Moscow are not 
connected with a global climate change. 

"Any fact, even the most acute should not be directly linked to 
climate change, but should be considered as part of temperature 
fluctuations," he said.
