There are a number of ideas to reduce carbon dioxide and thus reverse global warming. However, a number of scientist I have heard think we may be so far along that switching to 100% hybrid cars and using lots of solar power cannot save us. Granted, they are wise ideas for the long term, but we may be past the tipping point. What we need to do is reflect a little sun to bring down the temperature and save the ice caps while we slowly reduce our carbon footprints. How do we do it? Just like mother nature. As witnessed in the 1815 eruption of Tambora Volcano in Indonesia, the earth's temperature decreased dramatically due to the ash (1816 was the year without a summer), but the ash was soon gone and the temperature staid low and got lower. How? Scientists say due to the sulfur dioxide released into the atmosphere. This is what reflected the sun for a longer time. We can slightly increase the sulfur content in jet fuel and achieve the same results, and as smart humans we can control this to efficiently offset the CO2 increase. No other idea I have seen can deal with global warming in such a quick, efficient and economical way. Regretfully, so many people have a stake in their current ideas and approaches that no one will be willing to support this simple solution.
