I'm trying to cool the planet using bacteria – here's the idea

I’m a student researcher working on unusual bio-based ideas for climate change.

This paper explores whether ice-nucleating bacteria (like Pseudomonas syringae) could be used to increase cloud reflectivity and naturally cool the atmosphere — without chemicals, aerosols, or machines. It’s a weird, low-tech geoengineering concept.

Curious what people here think. Feedback welcome.
