US scientists propose drying the stratosphere to combat climate change. The idea is to remove part of the water vapor from the atmosphere.

The strategy is called "intentional stratospheric dehydration" It involves seeding the wettest parts of the. stratosphere with tiny particles of ice nuclei to encourage the formation of. ice that could fall to the ground as hail. But like all, it must be warned, it is a "patch" and not the solution to global warming.
