Could Drying the Stratosphere Help Cool the Planet?
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | February 28, 2024
Yes, but only to a small degree.
While human-caused carbon dioxide emissions are by far the most important driver of climate change, . . .
I thought human emissions were responsible for a miniscule percentage (3%) of the gas CO2 — which itself forms a miniscule percentage of all greenhouse gases (4%).
. . . water vapor is actually the most abundant greenhouse gas, . . .
Everybody has known this all along, but it has been deceptively overlooked by the “carbon is evil” consensus, because they know how stupid it sounds to try and ban water.
. . . and is responsible for about half of Earth’s natural greenhouse effect . . .
Oh, more than that, I hear.
. . . — the one that keeps our planet habitable.
Then why do they want to stop it?
Now, as scientists explore ways to address the impacts of climate change by removing excess heat-trapping carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and by reflecting sunshine back into space, . . .
Do you need a permit to do that?
. . . one group of researchers has asked the question: Could removing some water vapor from the atmosphere also help mitigate climate change?
How Dare You?
But I think this gives a new put-down for climate crazies:
“Ahh, go dry the stratosphere.”
Man to the Graduate: “Newly discovered helium mines in Minnesota.”
… or “Lighten up, Francis…”
Fifty three years ago, they were predicting a coming ice age. Now, it’s global warning. I’m afraid that if they start messing with the atmosphere (putting massive amounts of dust, etc.) the prediction of an ice age will come true
Since the moisture level in the atmosphere is a natural process fed by extensive regions of surface water, removing any significant amount would only drive more evaporation to maintain the equilibrium…
Well of course removing water vapour will cool the planet since you are talking about something that acutally effects the global temperature (whatever that means these days but that is a different complaint)to a far greater extent rather than a thing that has an actual miniscule impact on global temperature.
Wasn’t the the cause of the ice age in “Snowpiercer”?
SO liberal tears are to blame for Global Warming (TM)!!!! HAHAHAHAHA
Crimea river Greta!!
