Well no. But… it would kill all plants so thats a bonus
The idea is to increase the amount of salt in the air over the ocean. It probably won't kill all plants.
Clouds move ya know. I'm not exactly sure why, but I've heard people on the television call it 'weather', or something like that.
Things you put in clouds or water will come down to earth
They do. And done right, it'll come down over the ocean, and have a rather minimal impact in the amount of salt being transported to land.
There are other reasons this is a really bad idea; this is one where the harm is probably limited.
See, we don't have the best track record on that particular aspect of this.
That actually sounds good, I just dont know how they will spread salt periodically over the millions of square kms needed to make a difference on the Pacific's albedo without a huge carbon footprint.
