BBC News - Climate 'technical fix' may yield warming, not cooling
Interesting discussion of one of the simpler proposed methods of turning down the planet's heat if it keeps going up: ships spraying seawater in the air to encourage more clouds to reflect away heat.
Seems, though, if you didn't get it right, it could have the opposite effect.
All very unclear, and given that it seems a much less dangerous thing to try than, say, shooting sulphur into the stratosphere, it's probably not a bad thing to start trialling now.
But what's to be done with the heat generated by the pumps? Sounds a bit like leaving the refrigerator door open to cool the kitchen.
