FEBRUARY 15, 2011

Global sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) emissions peaked in the early 1970s and decreased until 2000, with an increase in recent years due to increased emissions in China, international shipping, and developing countries in general, according to a new analysis appearing in the open access journal Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics.

So based on that, science was proposed in the 90s, maybe you could create a sort of cleaner, more intentional form of this kind of low atmospheric cloud cooling. And that idea became what they call now marine cloud brightening. Now in both cases, and especially in marine cloud brightening, there’s a lot that we don’t know.

The two key issues were: Reductions in Emissions—agreeing how much CO 2 and GHGs each developed country should be allowed to produce and how much major developing countries, such as China and India, should aim at reducing the growth in their emissions; and. China recently surpassed the US as the world’s biggest producer of GHGs.
