    I just saw a video that showed it’s possible the pollution that cargo ships were emitting were actually seeding enough clouds to somewhat limit the sunlight that hit and warmed the ocean. This effect stopped recently when they were ordered to stop emitting so much of that pollution.

    If it’s true they were actually helping accidentally, we could spray ocean water and the salt could actually seed clouds in the same way.

    If it works, it would be like a bandaid on climate change to keep the ocean temps a few degrees cooler for awhile.

      That’s an interesting idea, but not something I would expect Florida to have much say in.
