ABC News reports that
Marine scientists have upped the ante in their fight to save the Great Barrier Reef from the devastating effects of coral bleaching.
A team of Australian researchers at the Sydney Institute of Marine Science is working on plans to alter the clouds above the reef in a bid to save the delicate coral communities below.
Wikipedia has an article about marine cloud brightening, as the proposed activity is called.

I read a good idea the other day. To stop climate change we just need to blow up nuclear bombs in the ocean every 3-4 months. Additionally, we can breed a species of super-algae that floods the oceans to the point they become large bodies of CO2 consuming sludge. If at the same time we can pump cold water onto the ice caps and spray enough aluminum sulfate in the sky to partially block out the sun, then it might just work.
