Scientists from the Institute of Global Climate and Ecology claim they’ve found a way to prevent global warming, said Insitute director during a press conference.
The technique involves airplanes spraying a thin layer (0.25-0.5 micrometers thick) of various sulphur containing compounds’ aerosol in the lower stratospheric layers. Sulphur drops will reflect solar radiation. Calculations show that spraying of 1 million tons of aerosol allows 0.5-1% decrease of solar radiation and 1-1.5 degree Centigrade temperature drop.
The amount of sulphurous spray should be maintained, since sulphur containing compounds will fall down with time.
Possible negative consequences of said technique are subject to discussion, however, the head of the Insitute mentioned that amount of sulphur compounds falling to the ground from skies would be 5000 lower than that emitted to atmosphere by industrial enteprises.
