68 results about "Global warming" patented technology

Global warming is the long-term rise in the average temperature of the Earth's climate system. It is a major aspect of current climate change, and has been demonstrated by direct temperature measurements and by measurements of various effects of the warming. The term commonly refers to the mainly human-caused increase in global surface temperatures and its projected continuation. In this context, the terms global warming and climate change are often used interchangeably, but climate change includes both global warming and its effects, such as changes in precipitation and impacts that differ by region. There were prehistoric periods of global warming, but observed changes since the mid-20th century have been much greater than those seen in previous records covering decades to thousands of years.

Global Cooling Via Aircraft

A method is provided that enables aircraft to contribute to global cooling by flying at select locations, altitudes, and times. An aircraft will deviate from its planned departure time and flight path to “harvest” prime sections of the atmosphere. Consequently, just as passengers have the option to lower their ticket prices by choosing inconvenient departure times and longer indirect flights, adoption of the method by the airline industry will enable passengers to trade these same options for a lower “environmental price”. The method enables the airline industry to switch from a contributor to global warming, to a contributor to global cooling. In this respect, the method enables the airline industry to be a global cooling technology comparable to carbon capture and sequestration. Unlike the immense capital investment required by other global cooling technologies, the method requires no capital investment because it exploits the existing multitrillion-dollar global air transportation infrastructure.
