Dig it. Go outside and look at the color of the sky...

Geoengineering Could Turn Skies White


[link to www.scientificamerican.com]


The white haze that hangs over many major cities could become a familiar sight everywhere if the world decides to try geoengineering to create a cooler planet.

Scientists have long suspected that one oft-discussed geoengineering technique -- shooting tiny sulfate particles into the upper atmosphere to deflect sunlight -- could turn the blue sky white. Nature has already provided a basic proof of concept. When Mount Pinatubo erupted in the Philippines in 1991, spewing tons of sulfate particles in the atmosphere, it temporarily whitened the sky.

Now a new study by researchers at the Carnegie Institution for Science attempts to determine just how big the effect from man-made geoengineering would be.

White? You mean clouds?

I experienced (especially during NATO, I'm outside chicago)
MILKY skies.
is the only way I can describe it.
blue, but not quite blue. a translucent white over it.
just. milky.

Nothing but thick cloud cover here.

No, the sky. Sky and clouds are different...

Milky. Thats a good way to describe it...

"haze" is now a weather description along with sunny, partially cloudy, etc. at least with google for ne Oh

I'll be damned. It's really really white in the sky, and NO rain in our forecast. The only patch of blue I could see, with any distinquishable clouds were to my southeast. It's sunny, and yes indeed, there's a milkiness to the sky here.
Central Texas...

Deep blue, but only because the moon is up. It's night here.

where is it night at 4pm est in the us? alaska?

Blue skies here.

I'm on a US Navy ship, but it's not in the US. I'm no IT, but I think my flag shows up as US because our ISP is in Virginia. I'm actually in the Mediterranean.

...lincoln?

or opsec?

I'm on a destroyer, but I won't say which one. I like my anonymity.

ah gotcha, thanks :)
how's the navy? how's the ocean in general? (sorry to hijack, TDP)

Big, lol. The Navy is cool, except for being away from family. But yeah, let's not thread-jack.

grey here too in southern ontario

The sky is deep blue in MO but the clouds are really weird. There are huge sections of the sky that are totally white clouds, not the big puffy ones we usually have.

quite understandable, sir.
and thank you for your service.

and now the sky is just pearly grey-white.
meh.

silvery blue with white fluffy clouds..... hawaii
