Environmentalists only like "natural" things when they don't work. Anything from nature that becomes useful to humans must be denounced.

Hi Quico, wonderful, thank you. Question, did the people also check cloud forming over the area? Additional DMS should do that.

great question. Bonnet's team didn't look at this but this should be very easy to do, all the satellite data is public! Some enterprising ACI researcher has an easy paper waiting to be done about this...

The reason why I am asking is that one of the co-benefits in terms of cooling would be increased low cloud cover, which should wake up te world up even more to the climatic impacts, apart from CO2 sequestration, ocean deacidification and increased living biomass, also stimulationg the biological pump, cooling down surface temperatures.
