Hundreds of documents show how researchers failed to notify officials in California about a test of technology to block the sun’s rays — while they planned a much huger sequel.
8 billion people nudging the thermostat will have a much greater effect than artificially increasing clouds and won’t cost any energy and cause more global warming as part of the process. Its a one and done. Even at 1 billion and even at 100 million.
Cloud transformation is just that. When you doing it you mess with cloud formation at other places and times and you have to keep on sending up planes to do it. It can’t do what you think it can do.
That was a future thing they wanted to do the first part is talking about seeding. Increasing humidity is not something you want eiher. Wet bulb will be bad enough.
insulation reduces energy usage for heating and cooling and I assume the first part was sarcasm.
My guy. Nudging your thermostat is not gonna make the wiggly line in the sidebar go back down.
Stopping sunlight from reaching the ocean, will.

Increased cloud cover could cause another ice age.
If we stopped all human energy use, immediately - the climate’s still in deep shit.
and if everyone put a foot down on one side of the earth and took their foot up on the other the earth would spin out of orbit.
No it wouldn’t. https://what-if.xkcd.com/8/
I was responding the preposterous with the preposterous.
You do not understand this problem.
Sending energy to space, as light, is your proposed solution. What do you think clouds do?
Exactly how much paint do you imagine is necessary, versus cloud formations that are visible from the moon?

Cloud seeding is a different thing. This is about adding humidity to the air, from sea level.
