The answer is yes. See publications on marine cloud brightening. Currently global simulations are being carried out with large nested domains down to 3km. To do the simulations at 2 or 1km. ... Well the question is , how big a power station can you provide. The results will be a lot better

What global cooling does Prof. Singer wish to counter - the next ice age? CO2 is clearly not the answer, but for reasons that it is in limited in supply and is already saturated [relative to what?] -- hence additional CO2 is not very effective at cooling - understatement of the century?
