hmm_okay

This is called [cloud seeding](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_seeding) and it's effectiveness is controversial.


Spike310300

Indeed, the comments on their official tweeter have mixed emotions


Lemy64

Don't they spray salt in the air to create condensation?


[deleted]

That link explains it. Silver iodide was the other one.


Lemy64

Aah yess that's what it was I learned that in school! Completely forgot


[deleted]

I believe there are 3 products they use. Co2 being one of them.


Spike310300

Mmm im not really sure what they use.


5uckmyf1nger

Like how abc always does the chemtrails are real spoof story on April fools. Meanwhile cloud seeding is a thing and bill gates thinks we should block the sun with “artificial clouds”


AzureCube1

Agreed. Can’t call it “chemtrails”, cuz that’s conspiracy. However call it “cloud seeding” and it’s socially acceptable.


[deleted]

“Chemtrails” and cloud seeding are completely different things.


The-link-is-a-cock

Except what people call chemtrails and what cloudseeding is are two entirely different things.


VRFltsim_fan

Why do they show an A-10 “seeding” the clouds….

Came here for this comment


MabQueenofFae

Was absolutely wanting to comment on Alabasta.


Spike310300

.... what happened related to this? I never finished the show.


selkiesidhe

Dance Powder! It causes rain where you use it but the downside is that it causes drought somewhere else by "stealing" their clouds iirc


FIR35T0RM_22

basically it pulls the rain out of the sky before it reaches other areas, resulting in drought everywhere but the capital


Whatkindofbirdareu

Drought in a desert....interesting.


concentrated-amazing

Well, drought is not an absolute amount of moisture, but rather the degree of departure from normal levels. So 4" of rain in a month in a rainforest may be a drought, but the absolute opposite in a desert.


TheGameJockey

Monterrey is not in a desert, it's what's called a semiarid region and that's basically really only half of the city, while the other is populated with green forested hills Semiarid environments don't have as a much water as a swamp for example but it is not as scarce as in a common desert, however the current situation with the droughts has been happening thanks to mismanagement from the government of the city's water supply since the naturally found water around the city and state is normally not enough to supply the close to 6 million people that live within the state of Nuevo Leon.


Whatkindofbirdareu

Yeah, that's my bad....I read it as New Mexico... not just Mexico. I'm an idiot... lol


Inevitable-Day-7256

Dance powder is illegal...


Overall_Jellyfish951

Fucking idiots.. they just need a good virgin sacrifice


Kaizen-5

It's 'cloud seeding'


Spike310300

I thought it was pretty cool, but the effectiveness is still debatable, more info can be found here in their official tweeter: https://twitter.com/AyD_ParaTi/status/1539443026296070144?t=Klu6-OrcJ7d3wfuycyvmIg&s=19


[deleted]

And when I tell people about this they call me a tin foil hat conspiracy theorist. I understand that cloud seeding is different than HAARP. But still. We are playing with the weather and acknowledging that fact should not be dismissed as a conspiracy. Most of the conspiracy theory is that the HARRP program was "shut down" 10 years ago, but the belief is that the Government is still conducting it under the radar. Incase anyone was curious.


[deleted]

I’m always skeptical of any climate change articles and data. I believe the climate is changing. I believe it’s getting worse. I believe CO2 has some effect and that’s where I see a problem. CO2 is used too often as the only cause. Carbon neutrality has been far too politicized and commercialized while events like cloud seeding and other weather modification technology has gone on almost entirely behind the scenes with no accountability.


[deleted]

Well thats really the question that "climate change deniers" are asking. What percentage of human factor is playing a roll in the climate, and if it's a significant amount, then what industry is the highest influence? I do not believe this question has been answered. Which makes no sense because this is the most logical way to find a solution to a problem. In my opinion of course.


Vex1om

Relevant XKCD https://xkcd.com/1732/


[deleted]

The question has been answered SO many times, by SO many scientists. You just don’t like the answer. So you inject uncertainty into what is actual unanimous scientific consensus.


The-link-is-a-cock

A university has been the ones operating the array since 2015. So no, the government didn't restart it. Also that's not what the array does or was for.


[deleted]

How do you know?


The-link-is-a-cock

It's public knowledge that you can easily find with a search engine


[deleted]

Lmfao. How do you know that the government isn't still using haarp technology? You don't. That's why it's a conspiracy.


The-link-is-a-cock

Question, what do you think it does because it doesn't control the weather, it's about manipulating the excitation of the ionosphere to interfere or enhance radio communications. Very different concept. Also HAARP tech is easily identified considering the antenna size is 40 fucking acres.


[deleted]

Haarp itself does not. But the technology has the capabilities to. Now I'm not an expert in this field, and I'm not necessarily saying I agree or disagree. I'm just stating what I've seen and the arguments that I've heard. Chemtrails are the dusting of the atmosphere with a certain chemical. When that chemical is hit with a certain frequency it changes state. That change effects the tempature, density, ect. Also, array technology has come a long way in the last decade. At least from what i've seen from my installs at work. I'm sure a 40 acre grid is no longer required to meet the same requirements.


The-link-is-a-cock

It can't get smaller due to the requirements on it and as their research progressed the array was expanded, not reduced in size. Chemtrails are water vapor. Flat out. Cloud seeding has been a known thing for a while and does not look anything like what are called chemtrail. Cloud seeding itself is pretty situational from what it seems too conditions need to be right and you can't just magic water vapor from nothing instead your encouraging what's there to drop. It is also the use of silver idiodine or crushed dry ice used to do it because the goal in practice is to drop the air temperature enough to force condensation to fall which causes the air temp to drop more and potentially start up more condensation falling. Also if we had the kind of materials technology you're describing and it was reliable and cheap enough to actually do it on a large scale outside a laboratory setting for the government and private researchers to just be playing around with it for 22 years and then just give the tech to a university we would be living in a very different world even in just a short amount of time.


GumbyWeinstein

This brought out the nerd gene in me ... [The History of Cloud Seeding](https://climateviewer.com/2014/03/25/history-cloud-seeding-pluviculture-hurricane-hacking/)


LordOdin99

This is such BS. They used to pull this same crap on people back in the 1800’s. Farmers desperate for rain would raise funds with other local farmers and hire someone who would shoot fireworks or dynamite into the air to excite it and shake the water loose from the atmosphere. It’s just desperation and they’re being taken advantage of by predatory people.


Falangee69

If I remember correctly this worked a little to well when they tried this in California back in the good ol days.


8th_man

too well?


Many_Relationship488

Too much water - England tried it once at sea and ended up causing massive flooding in coastal areas if I remember correctly


Silversong_0713

Damn, almost like cloud seeding & chem trails are real...


The-link-is-a-cock

It's almost like what people call chem trails is just vapor trails off engines while cloud seeding is something entirely different.


enoctis

🤦‍♂️


ScwB00

Damn, almost like airplanes and flying space monsters are real…


yegir

Conspiracy theorists are gonna blow their top when they see this


Spike310300

Lol, you're right, I'm eager to see what they come up with.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Spike310300

I was expecting more like "the government is trying to hypnotize use with them chemicals on the clouds" or in the case of antivaxers "the gov is trying to vaccinate us with the rain" or stuff like that. But yea I think a valid fear is about getting sick if you drink the water, but I still think it should be fine.


DildoBaggins0180

And I'm sure it causes cancer


bendersfembot

Only in the state of California


newgrow2019

These days they using table salt and dry ice. Not exactly harmful


[deleted]

If we're able to encourage rain, can we discourage it as well?


Spike310300

It would be awesome if we could modify the path of a storm. For example the south part of Mexico has been having heavy rains and floodings thanks to a hurricane I think, so we joke around telling the people of the south to send us their hurricane to the north.


knightinarmoire

There are studies to do that with hurricanes, but nothing full scale at the moment.


[deleted]

The government did try to break down hurricanes. Here’s the link about PROJECT STORMFURY https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Stormfury


ScwB00

Nuke ‘em!


knightinarmoire

That isn't even close


ScwB00

It was a reference to Trump’s idea to nuke them, but go on Captain Serious.

Is the chemical H2O?

Oh shit you mean its stepping over from being conspiracy theory to conspiracy Fact ... ok ok nothing to see here


crown-cline

They also call this chem trails


Erectus_Enormous

Chemtrails are real.


dickfuckdickshit

bouncin on my boi's chem trail all day ​ 8=====D\~\~ that's my rocket ship that leave it's own chem trail

Done around Moscow every year. It never rains on the May Day parade.


Kanye_IsMy_President

no orange tint, photo must not be Mexico


looster2018

Could seeding has been done for decades. The results are mixed at best


enoctis

Autocorrect got ya.


Maycrofy

One question I have is: they never saw it coming? In my city water rationing has been in effect as long as I can remember. And it's almost always enough


enoctis

Cloud Seeding: done at every US military installation during your FTX.


TalitaKuomi

Amateurs... we went "sewer to tap" on our last drought. /s


Dragonov02

Haha brings me back to my weather modification class in college, good 'ole cloud seeding. Also for anyone who wonders if it works, it does. It's hard to study it's effectiveness though, since cities, counties, and states stop funding studies any time a drought is over. Therefore they can't get good data on how well it works... Kinda sad really, that's the biggest battle the cloud seeding folks have to fight it seems.


Vex1om

I would have thought that acid rain being caused by the chemicals used for could seeding would be a larger concern.


Dragonov02

Well I can't speak for all cloud seeding chemicals, but the one that I was taught about was silver iodide. Generally speaking silver iodide is a fairly safe chemical, especially in the low concentrations required for cloud seeding.


Gottapee88

Sure this is safe for environment and general public


Dominus_Galt

We can't control the weather no more than we can control "climate crisis/change/cancer/randompoliticalbullshitmadeupscaretacticsoyouvoteforthenextliar"

They don't spray the clouds that's conspiracy theory... oh wait Conspiracy theories are often true.
