The invention relates to a technical method for self-intiated cooling of the troposphere by enriching the same with at least one material from the group of inorganic chloride and bromide compounds. The materials used to this end are characterized by at least one of the properties: - gaseous, - vaporous below 500 °C, - hygroscopic, - hydrolyzable. The formation of the material used to this end is further characterized in the method procedure according to the invention by at least one of the steps: - forming the material using saltwater electrolysis, - forming the material without using combustion processes, - forming the material in the free troposphere.
