you would have to do it continuously-nobody has the first idea of what injecting that much into the atmosphere could do
Significant acid rain
No way to test it
severe drought
The ice caps would still melt
Regional climates will be affected
And what happens if you are forced to stop? Oh yeah, everything that was predicted is accelerated and worse.
Could you post a link, because almost all of this is complete BS
Paul Crutzen who won the 1995 Nobel prize for his work on atmospheric ozone depletion supports the idea of a sulphur dioxide blanket and claims that the damage to the ozone layer would be minimal.
A report from the National Academy of Science in '92 addressed the idea of a sulphur dioxide shield based on the research of Mikhail Budyko.
Noted American astrophysicist Lowell Wood (famous for breaking Thomas Edisons record for most patented inventions) whose PhD thesis from Cal Berkeley was on Hyperthermal Processes in the Solar Atmosphere also supports the theory of sulphur dioxide shield.
This idea has also been supported by Nathan Myhrvold who is the former Chief Technology Officer at Microsoft. He calculated that a flow of as little as thirty-four gallons per minute injected into the upper atmosphere above the polar caps would be sufficient. It would create a blanket around the entire earth in only about 10 days time.
So if you want to smugly dismiss this idea as a joke why don't you contact these guys and tell them how stuoppid they are.
