A seemingly innovative experiment to spray sea salt into clouds to fight global warming in Alameda was paused due to the city's lack of awareness and concerns about being used as 'guinea pigs.' Researchers aimed to brighten clouds with salt particles to reflect sunlight and cool the earth, but were criticized for lack of transparency by local officials.
Antioch Mayor stated that the City of Alameda was only informed about 'cloud pattern studies' on the USS Hornet, not about releasing particles into the atmosphere. The experiment involved spraying sea salt water to mimic cloud brightening, prompting the city to demand a temporary halt which was acknowledged by the researchers.
