The scary part is the “global warming Chicken Littles” are suggesting we deploy a “fleet” of aircraft to intentionally produce these climate cooling clouds to “avoid catastrophic global warming”.
My concern is the effect will be significant enough to set off “Chicken Little's Ice Age”.
I'd rather more heat than living on top of a mile thick ice sheet.
