How to Solve Global Warming (Easy) 🌎

You remember this movie?

An Inconvenient Truth.
We learn the dangers of global warming from Al Gore.
His arguments go like this:

Brutal.
Technically, he showed this animation.

But…same idea.
Basically, global warming is killing polar bears…and our planet.
(Actually, polar bears aren’t dying – their population is at record highs. But global warming still sucks.)
So what’s the solution?
Options:
Backup Earth – NOPE. Elon’s close with Mars, but not ready yet.
Renewable energy – NOPE. Too expensive. And unfair to poor countries who didn’t get our coal shortcut.
Cloud boats – WTF?
What’s a cloud boat?
Lemme explain.
Global warming is caused by carbon dioxide.
Here’s a NASA graph of it over time:

Not good.
Why?
Because:
Sunlight hits Earth
Earth heats up
Carbon dioxide traps the heat

~Global warming~
But what if…we reflected the sunlight?

Hint: Nature already does this…CLOUDS.
Basically, giant soggy mirrors.
Now where are there no clouds?

THE OCEAN.
Which is 70% of the planet.
So what if we made clouds over the ocean?
It’s surprisingly simple.
We need 3 ingredients:
Rising air
Water vapor
Tiny things for the water vapor to stick to
Normally those tiny things are dust from land. But the ocean is water – hence no clouds.
But what does the ocean have?
Salt.
If you spray saltwater ~10 feet into the air, it naturally carries upward, and water vapor sticks to the salt particles.
So for only a few billion bucks, we could have a fleet of robot boats churning clouds into the air.

Global warming solved.
