Out of balance

The more I learn, the more I realise I'm a newbie. I know almost nothing of the weather and the climate. Today I discovered the terms "Earth's energy budget" and "Radiative forcing".

From the Oklahoma Climatological Survey I learned that the earth reflects an average of 30% of the incoming radiation (...) Most of the earth's average reflection results from clouds.

That's roughly the same percentage (29%) as mentioned by the NASA.

Via the Wikipedia page about Global warming I discovered that Vaporize Sunshine is a Climate Engineering project. To be more precise it is a form of Solar radiation management.

I'm a little bit out of balance that creating more clouds by vaporizing water isn't mentioned as a form of solar radiation management. May be when I have read more about the subject I understand why that's the case.

The first mindmap

An ideal way to order your thoughts is by using a mindmap.

This is the first mindmap for Vaporize Sunshine.

Here you see my initial thoughts to prevent global heat stress. The essence is "Create more clouds to cool down the earth". Nice idea but it raises a lot of questions which I hope to answer as soon as possible.

A crazy idea

This blog is about a probably crazy idea to cool down the earth.

Recently I read the article Is It So Bad If the World Gets A Little Hotter? Uh, Yeah
afterwards it was clear to me that we -including you- will not survive when it becomes hotter and hotter. Heat waves kill quickly.

So I got the idea to create more clouds by vaporizing as much water as possible to cool the earth.

Crazy, may be but what happens with our climate is also crazy...
