## Idea ## The idea is to introduce chemicals into the atmosphere and encourage cloud formation. The clouds will reflect solar radiation and reduce the rate of warming. ## References ## This article notes one modelled side-effect of cloud seeding would be increased precipitation over landmasses: * [Increasing cloud cover to increase sunlight reflection via spraying machines at sea.](http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2010-06/ci-wcc062810.php) * [Cloud seeding](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_seeding), Wikipedia. category:geoengineering
