Holy crap. Very nice.
The dole queue awaits!
Well my guess on what he's gonna do now is get extremely intoxicated and re inact the last days of gommorah, well done bud
P.S
Greenhouse effect is a lie

Congrats you genius!
Rocket science - actually it was Physics with Space Technology MPhys!
Congratulations. Could you explain what that is, I don't understand how you add an electron to water systems or how it relates to climate change? Could you give a bit of insight?
Yes.
Ok, so simply put water systems are integral to the whole atmsopheric process, so for my thesis I have looked at all three of the pillars of climate change. These are; Ozone depletion, Acid Rain and Global warming.
Simply put, ozone depletion has always been considered to occur due to the photodissociation of CFCs in the gas phase (photodissociation is where a molecule will split due to sunlight) - a renowned scientist called Molina recieved the Nobel prize for this in the early 80's (if I remember correctly). This was then further extended upon by Susan Solomon, who showed that there was a correlation between the time of year and the depletion of the ozone. So she then suggested that the ice in the polar stratospheric ice clouds could act as a catalyst to the dissociation. Then more recently it has been suggested that the formation of an anionic ice surface through the attachment of an additional charge by cosmic rays colliding incidently with the ice nano particles could act as an even greater catalyst to the reaction. So we proved using extensive quantum simulation (upwards of 1,000,000 CPU hours on a major supercomputer) that this was the case and have a movie to show it (this is obviously very simplified).
