A little-understood molecule in the atmosphere could play an important role in reducing pollution and global warming, scientists believe.
The 'Criegee biradicals' could lead to aerosol formation - and ultimately to clouds, with the potential to cool the planet. The compounds react far more rapidly than scientists expected.
Criegee biradicals were first hypothesised in the 1950s but have only now been isolated and measured.
New research shows they act as powerful ‘clean up’ agents, neutralising atmospheric pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide and sulphur dioxide.
A byproduct of the process is the creation of aerosol droplets that ‘seed’ planet-cooling clouds.
The molecules, known as chemical ‘intermediates’, should have a significant influence on climate. However, until now they have never been directly observed.

Great, what we need another ice age. Well, it would get rid of 5 -6 billion people, and all Muslims.
I’m gonna try to figure out a way to patent these puppies and make a killing.
(OK, just kidding....)
Jeez.

Leave Mother Nature TF alone.
When you mess with Mother Nature it is always a mistake.
What? Who cares? Stupid politicists, shaddap, ain’t no one listening.
Wow, a magic cure for Global Warming! I wonder how many millions of dollars in grant money it’s going to take to save the planet!
What a perfect scam for 0bama to run on.
He could keep touting global warming and save us from it at the same time without having to backtrack.
Can we dump enough on Venus to start terreforming? Cool it down enough eventually?
Any so called scientist that tries to change the worlds climate, should be .... disposed of.
the jig is up
This was buried at the end of the article:
Co-author Professor Dudley Shallcross, from the University of Bristol, pointed out that chemicals released naturally by plants aided the production of Criegee biradicals. ‘Natural ecosystems could be playing a significant role in off-setting global warming,’ he said.
No plastic under any circumstances, they'll sell you a paper bag.
You are expected to bring your own reusable bags to the grocery (or any other retail) store.
“Wow, a magic cure for Global Warming!”
More like a fictitious cure to get scientist’s butts out of the global warming quagmire.
If I read this correctly these molecules are naturally counteracting GW, which in essence is the same as saying GW doesn’t happen.
Kind of like saying my bathtub is filling with burning hot water! But they just discovered there also is this cold water mixing in and wow the end result is a nice comfortable bath temperature.
That little hut I have in the Philippines is gonna look real nice when they dump too much of this in the atmosphere and start another ice age.
Ping for later.
