Inadequate dietary intake of methyl groups
leads to hypomethylation in many important pathways, including 1) disturbed hepatic protein (methionine) metabolism as determined by
elevated plasma homocysteine
concentrations and decreased S - adenosylmethionine
concentrations, and 2) inadequate hepatic fat metabolism, which
leads to steatosis (fatty accumulation) and subsequent plasma dyslipidemia.
Because of the first of these reasons, were we to abruptly halt all emissions now, the sulfate aerosols would rapidly be removed from the atmosphere by precipitation whereas the CO2
concentration would remain
elevated, and so there would be a significant further warming influence just as a result of past emissions; this warming would
lead to the quite significant global warming that Lindzen mentions.
