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.

Useful Environmental Law Terms. They are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone, CFCs, and hydrofluorocarbons. There may also be requirements on what technologies must be used for mitigation such as the use of catalytic converters in cars that used older lead fuel (6). Sponsored Content.

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. The clever microbes that do this, mostly Archaea (i.e.,

The greenhouse gases are methane, water vapor, nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide (12). Carbon dioxide is the best-known and most important of all greenhouse gases, it is released through several natural processes but also industrial actions - one of the biggest impacting factors since the Industrial Revolution (12).

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.
