An experiment is being conducted right now to confirm the theory and if it is true then couldn't we simply make a type of lazer machine to mimic these rays and make enough cloud cover to cool the earth and reflect the sun? An added bennifit would be to direct this cloudcover to the pole areas and the drought areas where the water is needed.

Making clouds won't help because water vapor itself contributes to the greenhouse effect. Ever notice how it's warmer at night when there is clouds, and colder when there isn't any? The clouds act like a blanket keeping the heat in when the sun isn't up.

Cosmic rays. hmmm. A raygun of our own. hmmm. Dang you are smart. You came up with that all on your own? Which "cosmic rays" in particular create clouds again? I don't seem to remember. Can't invent that raygun without knowing which rays you want.

Clouds would BOOST global warming.

You can't stop a natural cycle.
Besides, I can't imagine this little trick being cheap.
