But it also does not have to be released at surface to be
effective--release it from remote mountain tops or otherwise at elevated
levels. Also, the study here was for a rather high loading--if the world
would get busy on emissions reductions and the desired effect were to
shave off peak warmin

Thanks Alan. Yes, more investigation on this is needed, as noted in my
blurb as well. I'm adding the lead author to this discussion in the event
that she might be interested in participating in this discussion and is not

But it's nasty stuff. Please keep in mind the last sentence of the
abstract, "However, our assumption that the rate of COS uptake by soils
and plants does not vary with increasing COS concentrations will need to
be investigated in future work, and more studies are needed on the
prolonged expos
Dear Colleagues,
FYI, if you haven't heard or seen this.
Carbonyl Sulfide (COS) aerosols released from the earth's surface and in
models appear to have a cooling impact similar to SO2 released in the
stratosphere. More research on the potential impacts of increased COS
released from the surface i
