British scientists firing salt water into clouds in bold attempt to cool Earth

British scientists are planning to fire salt water into clouds in a bold attempt to cool Earth's rising temperatures. The £6million initiative, led by Hugh Coe at the University of Manchester, zones in on a technique called marine cloud brightening. Laboratory experiments are currently underway inside a three-storey stainless steel "cloud chamber" at the university. The principle is straightforward: misting salt water into clouds makes them more reflective, bouncing additional solar energy back
