The non-sulfur fuel in the right wing gets burned at low altitudes and vice versa. Sulfur gets oxidized to sulfate which makes great aerosols, which would have long residence times in the UT/LS.<BR/><BR/>There is a limit to how much carbon we can pump out of the atmosphere and into say trees or peat-- but right now the price says offsets are a strong option. And its a growth industry. There are lots of ways to prevent CO2 from being emitted. My business plan is to start a carbon offset website. You send me ten bucks via PayPal and then I do something to prevent CO2 from being emitted-- potato in your tailpipe, pop-tart in the gas tank, slit tire, that sort of thing. You asked for it!Matt_Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00139378448055540977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10011905.post-1171300910689297302007-02-12T18:21:00.000+01:002007-02-12T18:21:00.000+01:00"The Weather Makers" states that jets deposit wate..."The Weather Makers" states that jets deposit water vapor and particulates in the upper atmosphere, producing "global dimming" or reflecting more of the sun's radiation away from earth and reducing the greenhouse effect. Because of this and because jet fuel can't be as easily replaced with alternatives jet travel might be the one part of our economy that remains carbon based. I'm all for offsetting this carbon too, for good measure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10011905.post-1171271145988740712007-02-12T10:05:00.000+01:002007-02-12T10:05:00.000+01:00Thanks Joe, that was a good piece.
