Weather & Climate Control Hello All Following on from several recent postings:- Marine Cloud Brightening (MCB) is a technique that has been developed with the objective of inhibiting planetary warming, but can in principle also be applied to more localized, sub-global issues such as polar sea-ice coverage maintenance and hurricane weakening. Thus it can be regarded as applicable to both climate and weather control or modification. It is not yet at a fully operational stage. The following selection from our papers on MCB illustrates some of our work on these topics. Latham, J., 1990: Control of global warming? Nature 347. 339-340. J. Latham, P.J. Rasch, C.C.Chen, L.
