In his Perspective, Crutzen discusses results reported in the same issue by Summers et al. in which they find that chemical balance can be achieved if changes are made to
some important reaction rates.

After extensive testing, the team found that the hydrogen binding energy (the amount of energy released when a hydrogen molecule adheres to a metal surface) was the most
important factor predicting the
rate of the
reaction — information essential to researchers designing new catalyst materials.
Solvent exchanges on solid surfaces and dissolved ions are a fundamental property
important for understanding chemical
reactions, but the
rates of fast exchanges are poorly constrained.
Additional output from the ACCMIP runs will include concentration / mass of radiatively active species, aerosol optical properties, and radiative forcings (clear and all sky) as well as
important parameters that do not directly influence climate such as hydroxyl, chemical
reaction rates, deposition
rates, emission
rates, surface pollutants and diagnostics of tracer transport.
The execution of this policy change will be
important since an unexpected, quick, or significant bump in interest
rates could cause a sharp market
reaction and produce sudden volatility in
rates; slow, steady, and deliberate
rate hikes will be more manageable for the market to absorb.
