Cloud-brightening experiment halted on San Francisco Bay part of push for solar geoengineering solutions to climate change

A climate experiment involving spraying sea salt particles at the edge of San Francisco Bay to test the viability of future cloud-brightening was recently halted after a pushback by Alameda city officials. However, such research is getting funded and continued elsewhere as communities urgently seek solutions to climate change.The average summer temperature in California is 3 degrees warmer than it was 125 years ago. More than half of that increase has occurred since the 1970s.

'We want to provide the data to understand how this would affect the climate system,' testified University of Washington atmospheric scientist Dr. Sarah Doherty.After the vote, the scientists left disappointed and declined CBS News Bay Area's request for comment. City officials felt they did the right thing.'This line of experimentation is very controversial because of the unintended consequences in other parts of the world,' noted Ashcraft.
