In their newest discovery, scientists have come up with a very unusual idea in the category of geo-engineering through which they claim that they can add some salt water to the clouds to brighten them thereby cooling down the temperature of the Earth and hence combating Global warming.

Though it seems almost impossible to play with the nature with such technology and even win over it, scientists claim it is possible. They have finally revived the idea of brightening the clouds and thus cooling down the Earth.

Their primary target in the procedure is the sky over the oceans where they target to pump the salt water in the clouds to make them heavy and bright and follow their action to combat global warming.

While explaining about the experiment in the journal Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, scientists at the University of Washington including Mr. Rob Wood have dubbed the whole procedure as “marine cloud brightening”.

Their theory explained that shooting salt water over the ocean through appropriate vehicles would help the water droplets to form clouds, which will further help in reflecting more of the sunlight back into space and thereby get the Earth’s temperature down.

“It turns out that a greater number of smaller drops have a greater surface area, so it means the clouds reflect a greater amount of light back into space”, Mr. Wood said.
