Re: The solutions to Global Warming include. . .
You could try adding sulfur to aviation fuel. It would be emitted as sulfur dioxide and would reflect back incoming solar radiation, cooling the planet. It wouldn't do the engines much good, though, so maybe planes could be fitted with a separate facility for adding the sulfur to the air which would not involve burning it in their engines.
However, it's a drastic measure, and I don't like the idea of technological 'fixes'. A few years back, scientists were talking about another technological fix that involved adding iron to the oceans. This would greatly stimulate phytoplankton growth. The phytoplankton would use up dissolved CO2, so more would be drawn down into the ocean from the atmosphere. However, other scientists have argued that this would alter the Earth's albedo, more than cancelling any benefit from reduced CO2 levels.
