After halting a test of controversial technology to fight global warming, the city of Alameda, Calif., said it had found no “measurable health risk” from the giant salty-mist-spraying fans.
Somehow I am not convinced that spraying salt water into clouds is without risks. Somewhere, all the salt will come down as salty rain after all. I guess farmers will be exited about this when they can harvest pre-salted tomatoes…
During the cold war, the Americans (and probably the Russians, too) seeded clouds and checked where the stuff ended up to see how radioactive fallout would work. The result was: basically everywhere.

I believe it’s mostly being suggested over the ocean. There’s a great Hank Green video about this tech.
