Deep fat fryers may help form cooling clouds
BBC News ^ | November 23, 2017 | By Matt McGrath

Fatty acids released into the air from cooking may help form clouds that limit global warming, say scientists.

Researchers believe these molecules arrange themselves into complex 3-D structures in atmospheric droplets.

These aerosols persist for longer than normal and can seed the formation of clouds which experts say can have a cooling effect on the climate.

The authors say the study will shed new light on the long term role of aerosols on temperatures.

The researchers say that current large-scale atmospheric models do not account for the role of 3-D structures in aerosols at all, according to the research team.

But they are dismissive of the idea that cooking fats could somehow be used as a form of geo-engineering to limit the impacts of global warming.

Much more important they say, is to collect molecules from the atmosphere and bring them back for further study.

"If it does have an impact, it is likely to be a cooling one," said Dr Pfrang.

"And the extent urgently needs further research."

IIRC aerosols were bad for the environment about 20 years ago. Now aerosols are good for the environment? Maybe, if we give fake scientists more tax-payer grant money, fossil fuels can become good for the environment again.

I read “cooling” as “drooling”

I must be hungry.

Finally, Mickey ads gets a break for crispy, delicious fries. I will be saving the world. Jk Frying releases AGE products, so I think I will stick with my original plan.

If you’ve ever been to a HOOTERS restaurant and sat at the bar, you know there’s something in the air...Unless of course, you don’t notice it for some otherwise obvious reason(s).

Different kind of aerosols and in a different part of the atmosphere.

Soros must be investing in a company that makes deep fat fryers.

All we have to do now is buy billions of them, scatter them all over the world, and wahlah! - glowbull warming solved!!!

Oh, these aerosols don’t go up and ruin the ozone layer? They just hover and form protective clouds?

"Ace is the place to get your deep fryer pots/peanut oil/stands/gas....."

Once upon a time, those setups were known as "crawfish pots", until some enterprising Louisiana coon-ass decided to fry his holiday turkey instead of baking it. As they say...."the rest is history".

This is stupid. Clouds have a cooling effect during the day. At night, they keep the surface warm.

“urgently needs further research” = “please send money”

Obviously, everything is somehow connected to AGW...

I've come to the conclusion this farce is an endless stream of progressive propaganda to feed the mindless global warming cult members regardless of how ridiculous the connection is...

They would fit well into the NK society...

“Fatty acids released into the air from cooking may help form clouds that limit global warming, say scientists.”

Perfect. Everyone who is overweight can have liposuction, and the fat can then be deep fried in giant fryers to save the world. Stopping global warming one beer gut at a time. A more attractive and ‘cooler’ world.

(Anyone interested in funding my new business initiative please let me know.)

Just spray Pam cooking spray about the room to negate the effects of abdominal gas.

Almost as good as Fabreze.

“The researchers say that current large-scale atmospheric models do not account for the role of 3-D structures in aerosols at all, according to the research team.”

In other words. Why all the AGW models have been wrong so far.
