Hi Andrew, I assume your goal in cloud seeding would be to brighten not darken the surface to cool climate. In any case, inducing precipitation via cloud seeding has never worked reliably but if such a method is developed and demonstrated to work in the Arctic (rather than the semi-arid regions where most seeding attempts are made), then one effect of the induced snowfall would be to brighten the surface, whether Greenland or sea ice. Nothing is brighter than fresh snow so the more we have the better for a cooler climate.
