RE: What I learnt this week 28: Climate Engineering concerns, Airborne Algae, Georgetown Canada, Bone Bridges & Dangerous Good Bacteria!

in #science7 years ago

The study looking into this assumed, when the technology is ready in a decade or two, that about 500 million tons of sulphur dioxide would be dumped into the atmosphere every year for about 50 years, creating sulphuric acid clouds.

This would result in acid rains. Imagine when dilute Trioxocarbonate vi acid begins to fall as rain.
I've learnt a lot from what you learnt buddy.

Sort:  

but no more acid rain than you'd get with a volcano, and it would be evenly distributed and thus safely diluted - that's the idea anyway. Plus, it's only sulphur dioxide, not sodium etc

You're absolutely correct buddy
