One of the potential tools that could be deployable to help stimulate natural processes that are already breaking down methane and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is the Iron Salt Aerosol method being developed by Dr Renaud de Richter, a scientific researcher at the Institut Charles Gerhardt in France, and his colleagues. In this interview with Dr de Richter, we discuss the issues of scalability and safety among many other aspects. The main focus of the ISA method is to concentrate on non-carbon dioxide greenhouse gases such as methane that pose an ever-growing near-term risk to global heating. The most effective method for removing methane from that atmosphere is the one employing what Mother Nature does, generating chlorine atoms which destroy the methane 16 times faster than hydroxyl radicals that are currently the main sink for methane in the troposphere.
