Global warming is a rising concern that puts everyone in the world at risk.   Over time, man-made technology and processes have produced pollutants that have in turn produced what are known as greenhouse gases.   When the sun's rays reach Earth some of them are reflected off clouds and the ground but the majority of them are absorbed into vegetation, water and land.   They are transformed into heat which is released back into the atmosphere.   The greenhouse gases   trap the heat, making the temperature gradually rise.   Global warming presents threats to people and ecozones throughout the world. Although measures have been taken to slow down global warming, many scientists believe it is too late for piecemeal tactics and favour   more drastic actions.   One solution that is gaining more credence among scientists is cloud seeding.   Cloud seeding involves sending   boats onto the ocean that would suck water up and spray it into the air.   The salt in the water would be absorbed by clouds allowing for more drops of water to be produced, and a cloud that has more water in it will be able to reflect sunlight better.   Better reflection of the sun's rays will help the Earth to cool down.
