Having heard much controversial concern about the carbon in the atmosphere, it seems quite clear that, during my experience in the flying business, the concern over carbon capture is explained in the flying manual From the Ground Up in the section covering cloud formation.
This section makes it quite clear why clouds occur and why rain occurs. Without the presence of salt dust and carbon as well as all the other chemicals in the air, there would be no clouds or rain… ever. I do believe that a certain amount of pollution should be controlled, but not at the expense of eliminating it all together.
If we are to look at carbon capture as outlined in From the Ground Up, let’s also look at the section under clouds. The process by which water vapour changes into water droplets is called condensation and occurs when the relative humidity is high. When condensation nuclei are present then rain clouds can occur except at temperatures well below freezing.
Clouds are composed of small drops of water which collect on microscopic water-absorbent particles of solid matter in the air such as salt from evaporating sea spray, dust and smoke particles called condensation nuclei, on which the droplets form directly from the water vapour through the process of sublimation. These nuclei are of different composition and, because of their varying chemical characteristics, contain large quantities of carbon. All of these particles are necessary to form rain clouds and the rain needed to grow the crops that feed us.
As for the greenhouse effect, why has no one looked at the fact that the earth is slightly out of orbit and thus one or two degrees closer to the sun as the reason for earth warming?
Have our scientists been muzzled so that this money scam could take place?
Remember how clear the air feels and smells after the rain. This is because the rain has captured the carbon and other chemicals in the air and fallen to the earth by gravitational force. It also includes the large particles that cannot rise to the atmosphere.
