Alameda Halts Cloud Brightening Project Over Safety Concerns

City officials demand review of sea salt aerosol experiment conducted by University of Washington on USS Hornet.

The experiment aimed to cool the planet by making clouds more reflective using sea salt particles.
Alameda officials were not informed about the experiment and halted it citing possible health risks.
Researchers claim the emissions are safe and well below harmful thresholds.
The city is conducting an independent review to assess environmental and health impacts.
Findings from the review will be discussed at the Alameda City Council meeting in June.
