Offsetting Global Warming: Molecule in Earth's Atmosphere Could 'Cool the Planet'

Reference- http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/01/120112142232.htm

Summary- Scientist have shown that a newly discovered molecule in Earth’s atmosphere has the potential to play a role in off settings global warming by cooling the planet. These invisible chemical intermediates are powerful oxidisers of pollutant. Such as nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide. Which are produced by combustion and can naturally clean up the atmosphere. Although these chemical intimidates were hypothesized in the 1950’s. It is only now that they have been detected.

Critique- It is cool how these can clean up Earth’s atmosphere. It is something that might help since the atmosphere is already polluted.

Impact- It cleans up Earth’s atmosphere. Which would help because the atmosphere is not clean in some places because of the pollution.
