SUNNYVALE (KPIX 5) — In a Silicon Valley research lab, scientists are working on what might be considered the option of last resort for global warming.
“It’s an insurance policy,” said researcher Sudhanshu Jain.
It’s called the Marine Cloud Brightening Project, and it’s designed to fight global warming by making clouds over the ocean thicker and brighter so they reflect more sunlight and cool the planet.
The Sunnyvale team has reached a milestone with this high-pressure nozzle that uses salt water and looks like a normal water spray. But it took scientists a year to come up with the exact rate, flow and pressure so that the water droplets come out to the perfect size.

Aw, come on, what about their good intentions?
Ok, chemists, let me know if I make a mistake here;
Water, a compound that can “naturally” exist in 3 states, liquid, solid, and gas.
Salt, a compound that always wants to return to it’s only state, solid.
Hence when salt water evaporates, only water becomes gaseous, salt stays behind.
If this plan were feasible wouldn’t salt be drawn up from the ocean during evaporation, and stay there long enough to brighten the clouds?
When they spray this mixture, wont only the water evaporate leaving the salt particles to fall back to earth?
Are the going to suspend gravity to hold their spray in the air long enough to evaporate?
Am I crazy, or does this BS not fail a 6th grade science class?
Curious minds want to know.
“People who think themselves really smart usually aren’t.”
I ain’t none too smart but I did figure out that I ain’t as smart as I used to think I was. Figured it out all by myself I did.
This reads like the prequel to “Snowpiercer” or another Ice Age movie.
Maybe much worse. These fools are playing with fire. Or uh ice. Oops.

Let’s pray this horrible plan can be undone - - we could be going into a cooling period. It could be a disaster.
