Hi All
I was sad to hear about the serious respiratory issues of Dr Wolf's
child and would like to draw her attention to the discovery by the
Polish doctor Felix Bochkowsky that workers in salt mines had fewer lung
problems than other people. Several companies now sell salt inhaling
pipes and I can confirm that they really do work. Asthmatic children in
Eastern Europe are treated with deep breathing exercises in salt mines.
My theory is that the mechanism is osmosis which kills viruses and
bacteria by drying them. To offset the thermal effects of double
preindustrial CO2 we would have to release salt at about one tonne a
second which is small compared with the 200 tonnes a second being
released now from breaking waves which is the estimate from Grini et al. at
doi:10.1175/1520-0442(2002)015<1717:MTACOS>2.0.CO;2.
The size of what we spray is important because larger or smaller salt
particles can work in the wrong direction. It is the number of
successful nucleations which matters, not the salt mass. Sadly little of
the salt released from marine cloud brightening in mid ocean will reach
land.
If anyone can give me an address for Dr Wolf I would like to send her
papers about our work and its environmental impacts.

This twitter fisticuffs between David Keith and Naomi Wolf is worth
looking at. She's a twitter-verified (62k), multi-bestselling author
making some utterly outlandish allegations against David and Gernot
Wagner. David comes back, quite rightly, stating that this kind of
misinformation puts him and his family's safety at risk. I couldn't
agree with David more - this stuff is bait for the unhinged, and
scientists cannot ordinarily hide their locations, afford close
protection, or carry arms.
IANAL, but this would seem to be libel under UK law - although it's
unclear whether such an action could be brought in the UK.
Naomi asked me for an interview after I called her out; I'd appreciate
feedback on whether that's wise.

"Don't blame the scientists"? My child has serious respiratory issues
and @DKeithClimate, @GernotWagner and @Harvard are spraying alumina
and/or sulphates, a pollutant, at tropospheric level -- WHICH WILL
REACH US -- to "unknown environmental effect." This is a criminal act.
