This geo engineering idea, in it's simplest form, is basically the following.

It's zinc.

I'd say zinc.

sulfuric acid.

Do you think the zinc really works?

Embedding nanoparticles in a material for instance, always.

You view the bond in the triangle.

They've discovered a new bond, a new material for transparent solar cells.

This stuff looks like what comes out of your two year old's nose when he has a cold.

Where have essentially, you have an equal amount and very

like gasoline or sulfuric acid, methane, and nylon.

You might be wondering, what does SDS PAGE even stand for.

We've mapped them into the audio domain, so they're singing to you.

More recently, into the Black Sea, where we're exploring.

This metal is called zinc.

Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc.

Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc.

No. It's nothing. I'm taking zinc.

Demerol is a morphine sulfate. It is soluble in water.

It has to be galvanized or solid zinc.

lives inside the equivalent of battery acid, and excretes sulfuric acid.

And then above that, you're just adding more and more hydroxide.

Daily surface temperature is topped off at 465 degree celsius.

And here's the weapon, it seems, that it did so over the last 500 million years.

You can take virtually any parameter that matters for human well being nitrous oxide, methane, deforestation, overfishing

Everything you see in this picture is commercial grade copper, lead, silver, zinc and gold.

Different amounts of UV hit different parts of the Earth at different times of year, so you can actually work out those stores of nitric oxide the nitrates, nitrites, nitrosothiols in the skin cleave to release NO.

What's the O2 stat?

Give me an O2 stat.

They're also terrible for your health, by far worse than saturated fat, even though technically they're a type of unsaturated fat.

And so we thought, like in a game of musical chairs, might we be able to give a person some hydrogen sulfide, and might it be able to occupy that place

I guess the thing I haven't said about this is, it is absurdly cheap.

That's the only known organism that lives in sulfuric acid.

You're at a pH of 7.

And so any incremental hydroxide you add will actually go to build the hydroxide concentration.

The researchers had to suit up just to enter it.

Well this was really cool.

Ammonium sulphate, among other aromas.

Fulminated mercury.

Alkalis neutralize acids.

Doctor, the patient is desatting.

I'm taken back to the boat, I'm given a gas mask

He bleeds out pigs.

Here. On one side, you have mercuric oxide and graphite from your brake pads.

(Laughter) It's unbelievable.
