HARBER:
Hydroxyl And Rare Bacteria Ecosystem Research
To use NASA satellites and Weather Balloons to search for, identify, and nurture previously unsuspected Airborne Bacteria that may cause Hydroxyl (HO) Production — an Important Destroyer of the Greenhouse Gas Methane (CH4) — as a natural Byproduct of Their Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2)-Producing Life-Cycle but now may be facing a massive die-off due to accumulated Air and Heat Pollution.
PROBLEM: Greenhouse gas Methane (CH4) is at least 20 times worse than Carbon Dioxide (CO2).
Methane traps 86 times as much heat in the atmosphere as CO2.
Methane is responsible for about a quarter of total atmospheric warming to date.
Methane can last 8 years in the atmosphere before being broken down.
Methane is broken down in the atmosphere by Hydroxyl (HO).
Unfortunately Hydroxyl (HO) is a radical that is becoming increasingly rare for reasons currently unknown to the NOAA.
THEORY: Airborne Bacterial Colonies may be responsible for a major, now damaged part of the Hydroxyl cycle by naturally producing Hydrogen Peroxide.
One way Methane-destroying Hydroxyl (HO) is produced is by the breakdown of Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2).
Hydrogen Peroxide is a natural byproduct of some stages and types of bacterial life cycles (in much the same way Alcohol is produced by the anaerobic fermentation process).
H2O2 formed biologically by bacteria can change mechanically into two HO molecules because H2O2 undergoes homolysis when exposed to UV-light from the sun.

Royal Society of Chemistry: Cambridge, UK. 1999. 264 pp)
Unfortunately, Airborne Bacterial Colonies producing H2O2 may be facing a massive die-off due to pollution of their habitats.
Chemicals such as chlorofluorocarbons — which have been reduced a long time ago after it was discovered they were responsible for the destruction of significant portions of both polar Ozone (O3) Layers — may still be having an effect.
OVERVIEW OF CURRENT GLOBAL SITUATION: For the past 4 decades, the NOAA Earth’s System Research Laboratory in Boulder, Colorado has run a Global Monitoring Division.
The Global Monitoring Division collects and examines air samples gathered by various methods and shipped in from around the world.
The Global Monitoring Division’s job is to find out how much Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Nitrous Oxide, and Methane (CH4) each sample contains.
According to Research Chemist Ed Dlugokenky, atmospheric Methane levels have been rising.
This increase was first noted since 1983, then it leveled off around 2000, only to start rising again in 2007 to these present times. (“Wired” Science article by Johnathan Mingle, May 16, 2019).
GOOD NEWS:
GOAL: To use NASA satellites to plan the release of, and then help track non-polluting NOAA weather balloons to collect air samples from different heights and do a census count of Airborne Bacteria Colonies that may be part of the Hydroxyl Cycle.
This is to discover if the Airborne Bacteria Colonies that Louisiana scientists *** discovered to be the actual nucleus of natural snow and also raindrop production (like living brine shrimp — not sand — produce natural pearls as opposed to the traditional dust particles assumption) live in particular atmospheric levels.
If this is so, do certain types of Airborne Bacterial Colonies also cause (or at least can be found in) particular types of cloud formations when in large gatherings?
At this point, which identifiable clouds hold Bacteria that also produce significant Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2)?
From there, do Airborne Bacteria drift like jellyfish in the sea (Medusa) without ever dying?
Or do they face quick extinction if out of a particular moisture/temperature level?
If the last scenario is found plausible, how has the global temperature increase negatively changed the various Airborne Bacterial Colonies habitat?
Do Airborne Bacterial Colonies in specific clouds prefer to exist in proximity to atmosphere levels where strong Ultraviolet radiation exposure then breaks the molecules down to 2 valuable Hydroxyl (HO) radicals — or is increased Ultraviolet radiation through Ozone loss responsible for increased heat and or dryness that wrecks to Bacterial environment and causes a massive die-off?
In either case, how much do Airborne Bacteria Colonies and types contribute globally to a non-biological, non-bacterial part of the cycle that goes on to destroy Methane (CH4) by turning it into Water vapor (H2O) and Carbon Dioxide (C2O) — the same way municipal wastewater treatment plants do mechanically?
METHOD FOR CREATING A NEW NASA APP AND DATABASE:
QUESTIONS:
Like sea plankton, different Airborne Bacteria thrive at different temperature and nutrient levels.
Some are more dangerous to man than others — resulting in annual increases in illnesses like the flu.
Due to global warming resulting in temperate zone shift, Airborne Bacterial illnesses have changed seasons and jumped into newly shifted temperate zone areas populated by humans previously unexposed.
Airborne Bacteria Colonies, like sea plankton, may now be in annual overproduction — much like the global Algal Bloom overgrowth problem.
Have humans, by changing the air temperature and humidity through global warming, changed Airborne Bacterial Colony habitats so that when we inoculate ourselves against the Airborne Bacteria, we are inadvertently killing part of the ecosystem that previously produced the Hydrogen Peroxide that is changed into Hydroxyl to break down Methane?
Might we now through medical advances be killing entire Airborne Bacterial Colonies that make humans sick, but the Hydrogen Peroxide producing Airborne Bacteria Colonies look to consume as part of their needed diets?
If Airborne Bacteria are indeed the natural nucleus of much atmospheric water precipitation, could cloud seeding technologies — currently dependent on silver nitrate — be changed to more the recreational ski-areas snow making approach, which already successfully uses Bacterial-coated, particulate, leaf matter?
