    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.

      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.

          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 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.

                  They sprayed from the ocean, on a boat.

                  Even then: ‘They were only planning it in the future.’ Yeah, man. That’s when plans happen.

                  Even then: you think more clouds here means means fewer clouds elsewhere… but this can alter humidity, globally?

                  Even then: do you understand wet-bulb temperature is also about temperature?

                    humidity is global. Its part of the cycle. Its like thinking you can burn fossil fuel i the ocean and it would not effect other areas or it happening in one country not effecting another. Its essentially accelerating the cycle as the heated earth will increase humidity. Its like trying to get out a hole by digging deeper.
