Greenhousegas remediation projects are a type of geoengineering that seek to remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere, and thus they tackle the root cause of global warming . These techniques either directly remove greenhouse gases, or alternatively seek to influence natural processes to remove greenhouse gases indirectly.

Orphan date February 2009 The report Kentucky GreenhouseGas Inventory provides a detailed inventory of greenhousegas emissions and sinks for Kentucky in 1990. Emissions were estimated using methods from EPA s 1995 guidance document State Workbook Methodologies for Estimating GreenhouseGas Emissions. In 1990, Kentucky emitted 35.4 million metric tons of carbon equivalent MMTCE . In addition, Kentucky estimated emissions of 0.4 MMTCE from biofuels. Emissions from biofuels are not included. The principal greenhousegas es were carbon dioxide, comprising 87.9 million metric tons 24.0 MMTCE , and methane, with 1.1 million metric tons 6.4 MMTCE . Other emissions included 0.0016 million metric tons of perfluorocarbons PFCs 4.8 MMTCE , and 0.003 million metric tons of nitrous oxide 0.2 MMTCE The major source of carbon dioxide emission s was fossil fuel combustion 96 , the majority of which is utility coal . Minor emissions came from cement and lime material lime production and forest grassland conversion. Carbon dioxide sink s i.e., an increase in forest carbon storage offset about 26 of the total carbon dioxide emissions. Sources of methane emissions were coal mining 73 , domesticated animals 12 , landfills 10 , manure management 3 , and natural gas oil extraction 2 . Nitrous oxide emissions were from fertilizer use. Sources of perfluorocarbons were HCFC 22 production 91 and aluminum production 9 . Kentucky s emissions in 1990 were 9.6 MTCE per capita, compared to 1990 U.S. emissions of 6.4 MTCE per capita. Kentucky s per capita emissions are high due to the large volume of coal related activities in the state.

This test explosion was the first test of a boosted fission weapon . In this test deuterium tritium D T gas was injected into the enriched uranium core of a nuclear weapon nuclear fission bomb . The extreme heat of the fissioning bomb produced thermonuclear fusion reactions within the D T gas, but not enough of them to be considered a full nuclear fusion bomb. This fusion reaction released a large number of free neutron s, which greatly increased the efficiency of the nuclear fission reaction. The nuclear weapon yield explosive yield of this bomb was 45.5 kiloton s, about twice the yield of the unboosted bomb. This bomb was known as the Booster in its development stages, a name for the mechanism coined by Edward Teller in September 1947. Planning for it had begun in the late 1940s. According to the researcher Chuck Hansen , it was mentioned in official U.S. Atomic Energy Commission documents as early as 1947. The main problems in development were making modifications to the fission core in order to accept the gas correctly ... use for the Greenhouse Item nuclear test had been for its research results.
