Researchers John Latham of the University of Manchester and Stephen Salter of the University of Edinburgh have designed wind powered cloud-seeding yachts that spray salty sea water into the air to increase the reflectivity of the clouds covering over 25% of the world’s water mass, meaning the clouds would reflect more solar energy back into space than they do currently. A mere 3% increase in cloud reflectivity would fully counter the global warming caused by the world’s increased CO2 emissions.
