Getting ships to generate smaller bubbles as they sail across the oceans could counteract the impact of climate change, a study suggests.
Scientists from University of Leeds, UK, say this would create a brighter wake behind a vessel and reflect more sunlight back into space.
However, it could also increase rainfall in some areas.
The findings were presented at the American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting in San Francisco.
This is the latest idea from the hotly debated field of geoengineering - manmade global fixes to climate change.
Suggestions for reducing the amount of solar radiation absorbed by the Earth range from installing giant mirrors in space to injecting salt into clouds to make them more reflective.
But Leeds' Prof Piers Forster said the bubbles idea was a more plausible scheme.

little bubbles....
It is generally known at MYC that Reggie usually handles the tiller in that cockpit. It is a tradition of the Indonesian Navel Service: a good skipper and a brave coxswain go hand in hand.
Global Warming on Free Republic
For the love of Pete! They get paid for this Crap!
AGW has become a sort of sick religious cult. Nothing is too whacky as long as it promotes the faith.
Tiny bubbles? Reminds me of a song.
I’ve made a discovery I am certain raises the global temperatures. People need to stop opening the doors too their homes. A vast amount of heat escapes each time any heated structure’s door is opened. However I need a minimal ten year annual federal grant of only 10-30 million dollars to study this further and develop doorless homes. If is saves a .001degree in climate change I think the cost is justifiable.
Unicorn laughter works too...
Less “studies”; more science!
Replicable experiments, generating replicable data, followed by analysis, followed by attempted falsification to validate.
What passes for “science” now reminds me of passage in Asimov’s “Foundation” trilogy: the research scientist reads all available papers and conflicting theories, then sits in an armchair and mentally weighs their competing merits, then decides which is “correct”; physical experimentation is totally eschewed as pointless repetition of ‘ancient’ work.
Yes, I know what that is historically based upon.
This whole thing is the fault of allowing publication of The Journal of Irreproducible Results: too many so called educated people can’t recognize something is satire without a tag or label; it softened up the softheads in Academia to also accept this AGW crap.
Thanks, that was nice and mellow. :)
“Unicorn laughter works too...”
Hey, don’t ruin it, that’s next weeks fairytale. :D
:)
Did this come from the The Onion? I mean, really, these stories are becoming funnier than any satire.
What happened to Depends for cows?
Global warming has become a full-blown religion with a heavy requirement of faith. Inconvenient facts are just ignored.
As far as i could discern the story is genuine lunacy, none of that made up stuff. :)
Comedy line of the day ping!
However, if the bubbles get too small we’re totally screwed.

Hasn’t Sandra Bullock and/or Samuel L Jackson been in a couple of movies with the theme being having to maintain a certain level of ANYTHING or the earth would suck itself in a giant sink hole or some other fun and games result?
