Last week, MIT’s “Technology Review” reported that a small startup firm is proposing to spray reflective aerosols in the stratosphere commercially as a climate corrective. They say they have thus far launched two small weather balloons, which each released a few grams of sulfur dioxide gas (SO 2 ) in the stratosphere.

Forests are incredibly good at storing carbon, in both soils and plants. When forests burn, that carbon is released into the atmosphere and contributes to greenhouse gases (mostly as carbon dioxide). Normally when a forest regrows after a fire, it’s able to capture that carbon dioxide and store it again.

not plants, animals, or bacteria), get their energy by breaking down organic molecules via a different chemical pathway than we air-breathers use to get our energy, which does not require oxygen and ends in methane instead of carbon dioxide and water.

Satellites, for example, are used in meteorology to track weather systems and to monitor atmospheric fronts to predict what the weather will do next. Known as ENSO, they are opposite effects of the same process and are defined as an oscillation (a variation in magnitude) between the temperature of the atmosphere and the ocean.

Geostatistics can be applied to any spatially dependent data, and it is commonly used in environmental science investigations. It is mainly methane, which is 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide in trapping heat for the first 20 years after it is released.
