What's your opinion?
Static mode cloud seeding seeks to increase rainfall by adding ice crystals (usually in the form of silver iodide or dry ice) to cold clouds. Dynamic mode cloud seeding increases rainfall by enhancing "vertical air currents in clouds and thereby vertically process more water through the clouds." Basically, in this method of seeding, a much larger number of ice crystals are added to the cloud than in the static mode. In hygroscopic seeding, salt crystals are released into a cloud. These particles grow until they are large enough to cause precipitation to form. Clouds can be seeded from above with the help of airplanes that drop pyrotechnics, or from the ground by using artillery or ground-to-air rockets The science of weather seeding is not without controversy. Many question the validity of the results, since they are difficult to prove. Others feel that science shouldn't interfere with nature. Still others claim that increasing rain in one area decreases it in another, in effect, "stealing" rain from other lands that may be in need. Many states have also passed legislation that attempts to regulate cloud seeding and other forms of weather modification. ![]() |

This has proven to be a 'sometimes works, sometimes doesn't work' 'technology' ... China's found out that they can do it, but then they have to live with the rain that just doesn't stop when they'd like it to.
It'd be so much easier if people would just accept the fact that HAARP is being used for weather modification now ... it's much more modern, y' know. And it's all scalar electromagnetic technology, so y' don't need the silver iodide or the planes or the fuel ... it's SO much 'greener' ... big whoop ... I love watching people play around with things and learning later that there IS such a thing as the 'Law of Unintended Consequences' - like floods in the wrong area ... and drought in others ... how come we can't just let Nature do what it does best ... ? |

I'd appreciate, if you could ellaborate on the 'Law of Unintended Consequences'. After all, only "God" -- who doesn't play dice -- is capable of foreseeing every possible permutation...
Thanx |

That's the human nature... Remember the Tower of Bable? |
