Using Ghost Ships to Reduce Global Warming
This kind of reminds me of the original classic movie 'The Fog', which is one of my all-time favorite horror flicks.
I just saw this story from the Times Online, about a professor from the University of Edinburgh who proposes using a fleet of 1,500 unmanned cloud making ships in the oceans to reduce global warming. Say what?
According to professor Steven Salter, the rotary-sail technology would be operated by computer. The ships would spray tiny droplets of seawater into existing clouds in order to enlarge and thereby whiten them, which will send more radiation back into space, cooling the lower atmosphere.
Where would these ships be deployed? The best locations would be off of Nambia, California and the southern Ocean.
