About rice reduction potential versus other anthropogenic emissions -
Eileen Matthews tells me that some of the estimates of potential CH4
emissions reductions in
the various studies over the last decade by EPA's M2M program/GMF/GMI
are exaggerated, she feels sure.
But as I mentioned to her, their
This raises the question of whether routinely adding SO4 ions to fertiliser
aimed at being used on rice paddies would be a good idea. I can see an
obvious reason why it wouldn't be sensible, although the intermittency of
addition may be an issue. Maybe sustained-release granules can be
developed?
Hi, Andrew - I was mentioning this issue a few days ago, based on a
meeting
with Elaine Matthews at GISS who was involved in the original
research.
as I said, it's also a reason why plain old ground-based sulfur
emissions might
be a good idea, in this relatively uninhabited region.
Here's
