Past the tipping point. Could we make non-pollution clouds?

That's actually the notion raised in the article. This negative outcome of our actions helps us understand our ability to very directly influence a key result. We now know we can brighten clouds on a scale that can rapidly mitigate temperature increases.

It's not ideal, as it is adding more pollution, but it's something. Kind of like hiding under the dead bodies for shelter.
