I think we are all now all to familiar with all the discourse surrounding climate change.
We are continuously reminded by our media and political leaders that our way of life is affecting global weather patterns. The emissions of our transportation and livestock is harming the planet by slightly raising the average temperature. According to all these experts, this change can have disastrous effects.
The world's meteorological system is complex and interconnected. The definition of the butterfly effect, having rainfall (change in atmospheric pressure) in one place creates a chain reaction of changing high and low pressure areas. It is ever changing, and nigh unpredictable. Think about this. even in our era of fixation on data collection its nearly impossible to actually know if it will rain tomorrow.
Weather machines were seen for a long time as something out of the imagination of deranged conspiracy theorists. But strange enough Cloud seeding is something that is rarely brought up. It is real technology, employed by major powers (China, Russia, USA, India) and has existed for more than a decade.
In short, cloud seeding is a process where a plane sprays chemicals/particles into clouds that are already highly concentrated with water and would at one point or another start to rain. With cloud seeding, this process is more controlled and can be "started" at a more known time. One of the major users of cloud seeding is the UAE.
Recently in Dubai, heavy rain floods disrupted the life in the playground of the rich and famous. In one day, more rain fell down then their yearly average. It has been reported that earlier that week, multiple planes had engaged in cloud seeding.
Is it too far out to think that maybe this is a much more direct form of climate change? Where a literal desert is being flooded with water that will not arrive in its "intended" location? I am by no means an expert on the weather, but I believe this has much more impact on climate change then a slight increase in temperature.
I would love to hear you guys' thoughts on this.
