Researchers conducting an experiment in Alameda to determine the feasibility of mitigating global warming by spraying sea salt particles into the air are looking at their next steps after the city halted the experiment for a safety review.
' The university said the aerosol releases are part of a larger research program to study how clouds respond to particles in the atmosphere and the influence on climate, including from pollution aerosols, and the potential for brightening clouds to reduce climate warming.The university added that the saltwater particle dispersal is well below established thresholds for environmental or human health impact for emissions.
