Cloud transformation is just that. When you doing it you mess with cloud formation at other places and times and you have to keep on sending up planes to do it. It can't do what you think it can do.

Cloud seeding is a different thing. This is about adding humidity to the air, from sea level.

That was a future thing they wanted to do the first part is talking about seeding. Increasing humidity is not something you want eiher. Wet bulb will be bad enough.

They sprayed from the ocean, on a boat.

Even then: 'They were only planning it in the future.' Yeah, man. That's when plans happen.

Even then: you think more clouds here means means fewer clouds elsewhere... but this can alter humidity, globally?

Even then: do you understand wet-bulb temperature is also about temperature?

humidity is global. Its part of the cycle. Its like thinking you can burn fossil fuel i the ocean and it would not effect other areas or it happening in one country not effecting another. Its essentially accelerating the cycle as the heated earth will increase humidity. Its like trying to get out a hole by digging deeper.

You're just shuffling cards. You don't even understand there's an argument happening.

Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world.  About 1C of total warming.  Second chart:  about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability.  Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases.  About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
