Dispersed in the higher altitudes, the water would leave behind fine salt crystals that serve as nuclei for cloud formation

Since there is now 0 (zero) sea salt at high altitudes I wonder what unintended consequences there might be from polluting the upper atmosphere with it.

Ask any Lib. Electricity is a waste product of unicorn farts. We have plenty. Nuclear, oil natural gas, let's cut those off. They have nothing to do with electrical generation.

The left doesn't have the slightest concept of the process that allows then to power their electric cars. They don't care, either.

Ask your standard Lib why electrons do not spill out onto the floor if there is no plug to stop them.

All we can be sure of is it will be very expensive.

That is all that counts as long as the money gets to go through the govt and 70% of it gets skimmed off in “administrative costs”.

water vapor is A GREENHOUSE GAS

Dude! Don’t you realize that was supposed to go into the memory hole! What is the matter with you? You can’t expect liberals to be consistent! Your children should have turned you in to the thought police years ago!

Don’t mention ideology: Ideology! slowly I turned, and step by step, inch by inch, I walked up to him and said:

You have touched on a distinctive quality of the Left. There is no dispute about it. Ideology is pie in the sky and the Left is up to their eyeballs in it.

The ideology of the Left will knock us down the road to destruction. Obama knows his ideology demands he takes America down the road to destruction—inch by inch, step by step. Why is he doing it? This is a man possessed. He is mentally deranged—blinded by his own ideology. To do so his allies, the DemonRATs, wage an ideological war. Such things as “the war on women,” and class warfare work well for them. It enable them to use the Alinsky Method to demonize the Republicans. If manipulates the low infobots to follow Utopian fantasies rather than reality. It allows the divide and conquer strategy. DemonRATs use ideology in alliance with their leader because they know smoke and mirrors is all they have. They are not about fixing problems. They are about maintaining power even if it means destroying everything to do so. The ends justifies the means.

So, if we avoid the ideological page, we can use a pragmatic approach to appeal to the low infobots. Then, the other side looks like the party that has their heads in the clouds rather than the job of fixing America’s problems. They would rather play a round of golf or go on vacation rather than fixing problems. I am hoping America is seeing the DemonRATs as the party lacking the aptitude for fixing America’s problems—like their leader, Zer0.

Where do we get the energy to pump it? Coal? Cold fusion? Free energy?

Bird Blenders (wind mills) of course! Birds have lots of energy.

...we’re going to save the environment by radically altering it?

What a great idea....

The easiest way to increase cloud formation is to increase particulates - go backto burning dirty coal without stack scrubbers.

Based on recent history, this will work just fine.

the salt falls out, only water evaporates, it will cause to sea to become more saline and kill all life if done enough.

“Pumps consume lotsa energy!”

Oh yeah?

“The scientists say that the Rayleigh jet method could produce the desired effect using 30 megawatts of energy, about the same energy that two large ships produce.”

And if anyone believes 30 megawatts of energy is enough to alter the atmosphere, I’ve got a bridge for sale in Brooklyn really cheap. I’ll even throw in the lights and the pedestrian walkways for free!
