Could be a real problem... :) Actually, they could be, if the launch rate is high enough (read: much larger than now). The upper stratosphere is extremely dry. If we inject water there, it could form high altitude ice clouds, especially in polar regions. Such clouds cause net warming by reflecting infrared radiation. Also, ice clouds in the Antarctic stratosphere are thought to play a part in the formation of the ozone hole. Paul F. Dietz dietz@cs.rochester.edu
