Hi All
The evaporation from the Ron Ace spray will certainly remove latent heat
from the atmosphere but exactly the same amount of heat will be returned
when the vapour condenses as rain somewhere else. While it remains as
water vapour it will be adding to amount of the greenhouse gases and
Alvia Stephen - One energy efficient arrangement would involve wind pumps on windy dry coasts. Direct wind is a great way to pump water, especially when you want to move more water to obtain more evaporation at higher wind speeds. You don't spray the water into the air, that is not energy
I've made a surveymonkey of this, so please tell us what you think of the group

Folks,
The original goal of this googlegroup was to transmit information that would
be useful to
Steve et al.,
I have performed some climate model simulations of this idea (holding off on
assessing its engineering feasibility).
Let us recall that evaporating water has several possible effects, some of
which are:
1. It cools locally by transport latent heat away from the surface
2. It

What will be important to explain is how water vapor feedback can be so
strongly positive with CO2 induced warming, and yet on its own would be
negative‹what aspect of the positive feedback cycle is being canceled out

Hi,
I tried to add everyone to the new Climate Intervention googlegroup as a
default, but google overrode me and sent it out as an invitation requiring
response.
So, if you want to join the Climate Intervention googlegroup you need to do
something active.
