    I don’t think this is looking at seeding the stratosphere but replacing the sulfur based localized cloud creation that container ships have stopped producing with seawater based local cloud creation. I don’t think anyone thinks it will have zero negative effects, but we are at a point where we have unexpectedly good data from the sudden dropoff of sulfur shipping fuels and a very urgent need to address this specific issue.

The video linked is actually a bit more anti the whole idea than I am I think but what do I know, he has a climate science PHD. It is a complex issue and a lot of people will die no matter what we do, especially if we do not dramatically reduce our climate impact overall.
