A story about another side effect of increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. "Rising
carbon dioxide levels at the edge of space are apparently reducing the
pull that Earth's atmosphere has on satellites and space junk,
researchers say. The findings suggest that man made increases in carbon
dioxide might be having effects on the Earth that are larger than
expected, scientists added... in the highest reaches of the atmosphere,
carbon dioxide can actually have a cooling effect. The main effects of
carbon dioxide up there come from its collisions with oxygen atoms.
These impacts excite carbon dioxide molecules, making them radiate heat.
The density of carbon dioxide is too thin above altitudes of about 30
miles (50 kilometers) for the molecules to recapture this heat. Cooling
the upper atmosphere causes it to contract, exerting less drag on
satellites." Gee...could HARRP (Video) have anything to do with this...hmmm...
It gets better.
"Scientists have found way to use X-Ray Lasers to create supercharged particles.
The specific tuning of the laser's properties can cause atoms and
molecules to resonate. The resonance excites the atoms and causes them
to shake off electrons at a rate that otherwise would require higher
energies. This could be used to create highly charged plasma." Sounds like HARRP capabilities.
