Scientist: Inject Sulfur into Air to Battle Global Warming
By Sara GoudarziLiveScience Staff Writerposted: 27 July 200601:27 pm ET
One way to curb global warming is to purposely shoot sulfur into the atmosphere, a scientist suggested today.
Injecting sulfur into the second atmospheric layer closest to Earth would reflect more sunlight back to space and offset greenhouse gas warming, according to Nobel laureate Paul Crutzen from the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry in Germany and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California at San Diego.
This proposal is detailed in the August issue of the journal Climatic Change.
