I have been thinking about this. It seems that if the climate warms, surely this means it will hold alot more water vapour and cause rain, which means more cloud? people say clouds stop the sun warming the earth but they also stop the earth from losing heat? the issue is, where will the clouds be? Not that I know alot about climateology, but I saw an image of venus and the poles are very white and the equator is of a more diffuse cloud. do most clouds form at northerly latitudes on earth? and are the equatorial regions less covered? if so, would this would mean the suns energy could enter at the equator and travel north by warm wind under a cloud layer and warm the artics likeunder a blanket?? Also, how can water lose its heat in the high altitude and fall as snow? do molecules release infra red into space when they collide? Melting artic is more than just a threat to water levels, it will effect front systems...artic snow, like rain, must clear the air of its water vapours and glaciers, like slow rivers, keep water out of the water cycle ?

We are constantly topping up the atmosphere with aerosol particles with the deployment of #SRM Solar Radiation Management, which is a method of climate engineering or #Geoengineering.
We have numerous aircraft in operation to inject the aerosols into the atmosphere which increases the reflectivity ( albedo ) of the atmosphere, which in turn has a cooling effect, and thereby, slowing the rate of global warming.
it's not perfect by an means, with many negative effects and many unknowns. ... It's the only "band - aid" solution we have, until CDR tech becomes viable and affordable. ..
