NATURE article about dust affecting climate; Aluminum Sequin as Earth Air Conditioner |
Remember how President Kennedy, a president not one at war with science
and not one who hated science and when Kennedy had a problem such as
getting to the Moon, Kennedy called for a decade of people to rally
around and get us onto the Moon. Now we have President Bush and we all
know his silly adversity to Global Warming. But Bush can be responsible
and take the correct way on this problem of Global Warming by also
calling upon the science community to find a Earth-Air-Conditioner
chemical that when placed into orbit will cool EArth. The below article
that appeared in NATURE suggests that we can imitate meteor debris that
cools Earth. I keep harping about Aluminum Sequin and hopefully it
remains up there longer then one month.
You see, Kennedy solved a science and engineering problem by rallying
the scientists and world community into getting a man on the Moon.
Bush, although a hater of science can do the same thing for Global
Warming by calling for building and installing a Earth Air Conditioner.

Meteor dust could affect climate, study suggests
Wed Aug 24, 3:31 PM ET
PARIS (AFP) - A space boulder that disintegrated in a fiery descent
over Antarctica last year has sparked a theory that meteor dust may
play a hidden role in our climate system.
(snipped)
Previous research has already shown that particles which are larger
than one micron, spewed out by volcanoes, can play a crucial role in
affecting weather.
Their relatively large size helps them to reflect the Sun's rays, thus
creating a local cooling effect, and also provides a nucleus for
attracting atmospheric moisture -- they encourage clouds to form.
In addition, large particles tend to linger longest in the atmosphere,
sometimes taking months to reach the planet's surface.

The study, published in the British science journal Nature, was led by
Andrew Klekociuk of the Australian Antarctic Division, based in
Kingston, Tasmania.

It sounds like a great Idea, until you run the numbers.
Dust stays in the stratosphere for only a couple of years.
Cooling dust would have to be constantly replenished.
The amount of dust in the stratosphere, or near earth
orbit, is excessive. We might emit more CO2 as we loft
dust into the air than CO2 heating effect we would cancel.
We would all risk lung disease from the constant rain
of particles. Space travelers would not like to be
impacted by a constant rain of orbiting dust either.
Why not keep the CO2 out of the atmosphere in the
first place?

Now I do not know what would be the optimal size of aluminum sequin
placed into orbit. whether one micron size aluminum or whether
something much larger.
And I do not know whether the aluminum sequin as it falls towards Earth
will help in cloud formation.
But the above report is encouraging to the extent that it suggests it
takes many months for the sequin to fall back to Earth.
And unlike meteorite debris or volcanic debris, we can selectively
place the sequin wherever we want to place it in orbit so as not to
intefer with space travel.

You loon, aluminium is a poison.
We do not need to sprinkle it in the
atmosphere.

Don't use dust; use kited mirrors:

Diseases have many causes but they are not poisons like
aluminum. There is no need for aluminum in any aspect of
human evolution or physiology. I know aluminium is a great
metal but its chemistry is poisonous to life. We don't need its
compounds spread about in the environment.

Since aluminum compounds make up about 8% of the Earth's crust, this is
slightly worse than not even wrong. Or are you planning to move off planet?

Josh,
Actually no, but I don't look forward to having aluminum pellets
in the topsoil. What is your opinion of scattering aluminum
sequins in the atmosphere as a means of regulating the
earth's temperature? Also, pray tell, what exactly is wrong
about saying this element is not necessary for the evolution of
life ?

A substantial fraction of the earth's crust is aluminum compounds,
including all that dust that's been blowing around for the past
four billion years or so. I'd think "life" has had plenty of
opportunity to adjust to this right from the get-go.
