Nov 2 (Reuters) - Air pollution, a global scourge that kills millions of people a year, is shielding us from the full force of the sun. "It's this Catch-22," said Patricia Quinn, an atmospheric chemist at the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), speaking about cleaning up sulphur pollution globally. "If you implement technologies to reduce air pollution, this will accelerate – very significantly – global warming in the short term." The Chinese and Indian environment ministries didn't immediately respond to requests for comment on the effects of pollution unmasking. As the implications of the pollution unmasking become more apparent, experts are casting around for methods to counter the associated warming.

Debates about its efficacy abound, with the United States, Europe and several environmental groups speaking out about the opportunities and risks. Research has been conducted into other potentially less dangerous SRM technologies, including marine cloud brightening, which involves the spraying of seawater from ships to make clouds more reflective. One group of 60 scientists launched a global initiative last year aimed at persuading governments to ban outdoor solar geoengineering experiments. "Once you've committed to it, you've got to keep doing it," said Laura Wilcox, a climate expert at Britain's University of Exeter. "If you stop, then you're going to see all of that warming that you've missed, essentially on climate timescales overnight.

Suedia îți oferă tot ce e mai bun pentru familie și o stabilitate economică pe viațăEste cunoscut faptul că țările scandinave sunt unele dintre cele mai prospere și dezvoltate din lume. Calitatea și durata vieții în această țară scandinavă par a fi factori-cheie în luarea deciziei de a imigra aici și de a obține cetățenia țării. Stabilitatea economicăSuedia este a 24-a cea mai bogată țară și a 21-a cea mai liberă economie din lume. După criza mondială din 2008, guvernul suedez a implementat o serie de măsuri economice pentru a îmbunătăți viața cetățenilor. Astfel, în Suedia a căpătat popularitate snus-ul – o punguță umedă cu tutun care se plasează între buză și gingii timp de aproximativ 30 de minute.
