News and current affairs

So the only rational response is to research aggressively into the many unknown factors: the physics of cloud formation, the dynamic coupling of the upper stratosphere to the lower atmosphere, the accumulation of atmospheric water vapor.

This augments the natural process, where sea salt from the oceans provides water vapor with the cloud condensation nuclei.
