Hi, Josh –
I hope the irony is not entirely lost on you, in your quote from
Shakhova, that the people she hopes will keep their minds open to the
idea that new observations may significantly change what we understand
about our world, are hardly the folks at AMEG - but rather those like
yourself,
The statement of *there are no unmanned transport
aircraft at present* is misleading. Virtually all modern aircraft can
be quickly modified for automation.
The statement of *The closer to vertical it's sent, and
the less vehicle which is sent up to transport it, the lower the
energy.* is also
Folks,
As the Arctic situation is the weakest of the weak links in our environment
and Stratospheric Particle Injection is a front runner of SRM methods, I
believe this is a profoundly important issue. Will a *cloud* of SRM
particles mimic a Winter Time Polar Stratospheric Cloud's ability to trap
To what degree of likely are we talking about? Also, would there be
issues with clumping which could create condensed areas within the SRM
layer which could mimic PSC? Further, will the SRM particles
*augment*PSC's warming ability when the 2 mix?
The fact that the IR energy will be coming in
Hi, Josh - Well, I appreciate your comments, to which there are two
distinct parts.
First, in terms of the Shakhova quote, I know it very well and knew
exactly where it came from, as I had already used some it myself in a
Huffington Post
piece. Maybe I expressed myself poorly, though: of course,
Since none of those with the skills to do these calculations much more
professionally seem to be jumping in quickly to take over the reigns,
I'll try not to embarrass myself in giving initial crude answers to my
own question from the other day, which follow:
I find that in a recent paper from MIT
