In Alameda, California, scientists have initiated a groundbreaking field research project aimed at combating global warming by employing marine cloud brightening techniques. This involves spraying salt into clouds to increase their reflectivity, thereby cooling the planet. The Bay Area's climate is considered ideal for this type of research. This experiment marks the first of its kind in the United States, focusing on manually increasing the number of particles in the air to create more reflective clouds. Researchers are hopeful that this technology could offer a viable solution to offset the effects of global warming.
Would you support spraying chemicals in the air to block out the sun if "experts" said it would prevent global warming?
Fascinating. An engineering experiment to cool the earth and deal with climate change. https://t.co/W0C4WRDEVN
Is shooting salt aerosols into the sky in a bid to block the sun a good idea? It doesn't seem like it, but researchers are giving it a go! Read: https://t.co/rU722DdK9L https://t.co/8MC0Kqjk09
This is why we also need geothermal, nuclear, and natural gas. https://t.co/PuqS92AqYK
There are geo-engineering and carbon removal pilot programs that are based on plausible science but need a publicly funded research to evaluate downsides and establish metrics for their use — can't have a carbon removal market without standards. https://t.co/wIDDZkO9e0
Scientists in California shot a salt mist hundreds of feet into the sky to test technology they hope can cool the Earth. https://t.co/DlLRxxqo52
Researchers are testing ways of shooting salt into the sky and brightening clouds as a way of deflecting heat from the earth. Climate engineering seems more likely as the earth heats up and fossil fuel extraction continues apace: https://t.co/VehQ7BZgKw
they finally did the salt atomization sea spray geoengineering experiment!! https://t.co/qFxvfyPZxx (NYT) https://t.co/r8F6cRM5q4 https://t.co/HysjHuUG7Z
We need to be doing deliberate geoengineering experiments ASAP. We should have already being doing it decades ago. https://t.co/MGmKfMCfKB
In Alameda, scientists are embarking on a novel attempt to cool the planet — spraying salt into clouds. They hypothesize that manually increasing the number of particles in the air will create more reflective clouds, causing Earth to cool. https://t.co/HDbWEkyMkK
In Alameda, scientists are embarking on a novel attempt to cool the Earth — by spraying salt into clouds. The experiment is a first of-its-kind in the U.S. It was fascinating to work on this story with @edwardsanthonyb. Read about the work @sfchronicle➡️https://t.co/0pY3Gh1Wxv

In Alameda, scientists are beginning marine cloud brightening field research, injecting sea salt into clouds to help offset global warming. Scientists say the Bay Area climate is ideal for this work. https://t.co/IDu0uDyyL9
