    The article doesn’t really seem to go into much detail but what are the risks of introducing salt water into the areas below the clouds when it condenses into rain?

      If this is done on a global scale, there are multiple problems:

      • the temperature would get lower artificially, until it isn’t maintained. Should we continue business as usual with fossile fuels?
      • can it be done everywhere at the same time?
      • what is the impact on the water pattern on a global scale?

        Changing “business as usual” with fossil fuels is a separate issue that will happen or not happen regardless of the global temperature. It’s something that will have to be done as a task in its own right. Lowering the temperature would prevent millions of deaths by starvation in the meantime, whether we change “business as usual” or not.

        • can it be done everywhere at the same time?
        • what is the impact on the water pattern on a global scale?

        Maybe we should do some tests?
