Climate cooling through SRM geoengineering costs less than 5 billion dollars per year
Transition from CFCs to HFCs under Montreal Protocol hurts climate – adjustment required
But let’s stick to the Montreal spirit and call it a challenge instead of a problem.
SRM geoengineering more likely to increase global food production
If we would pump aerosols in the stratosphere to artificially cool the Earth and thereby compensate (part of) the current climate warming, we would be permanently living under a slight sunshade. That would mean in a futuristic world it may … Continue reading
2011 Antarctic ozone hole reached 16.17 million square kilometers
In April the WMO announced the Arctic ozone hole had reached record proportions – perhaps even doubling the previous depletion record of 2005, a Nature publication recently added. On the southern hemisphere the story seems much the same. New data … Continue reading
Arctic ozone hole is larger than ever
The Antarctic ozone hole was big news in the eighties. It was a clear sign of man’s detrimental influence on our planet. Now the ozone layer over the Arctic is so thin that for the first time it can be … Continue reading
Today’s paradox: current Arctic ozone depletion sign of global warming
The WMO today reports rapid and record-breaking thinning of the ozone layer over the Arctic region over the course of this winter and early spring – with now 40 percent of it gone. Unusually low temperatures in the stratosphere, even … Continue reading
