I agree that small drops of dimethyl sulphide make excellent cloud
condensation nuclei because I have complete trust in the work of James
Lovelock who suggested it. However I am trying to avoid the need for
any replenishment of consumables in mid-ocean. I would not be nearly as
good as the phytoplankton at making dimethyl sulphide while I am
confident that we will never run out of salt water.

Dr. Salter,
This came through yesterday and your cloud brighting effort came to mind.

What would you think of spicing up the cloud brighting with this
(*dimethylsulfid)* compound? I could see the bilge water growing
the surfer eating bacteria and venting the compound to the stacks. A
few blocks of compressed sulfur could keep the colonies fed for some time.
Thanks,
