>We did it for years here over our hydroelectric catchments, they stopped it a few years ago because of environmental concerns
it just crazy to me how "cloud-seeding" was basically considered a crazy theory to normies like chemtrails or pizzagate up until literally a year ago. Prior to the early 2020s, best you'd get is some people would admit that experiments in cloud seeding had been done in the past, but that it wasn't a truly workable technology and didn't actually exist in any significant capacity
Then a yearish ago various governments and mainstream media sources started admitting that cloud-seeding operations are actually routine and commonplace in some parts of the world like the middle east gulf states. I just want to know why they changed their tune and started to admit this.

>News reports and social media posts were quick to point the blame at cloud seeding. The UAE has a long-running program for trying to squeeze more rain out of the clouds that pass over the normally arid region—it has a team of pilots who spray salt particles into passing storms to encourage more water to form. The floods were positioned as a cautionary tale by some: Here’s what happens when you mess with nature. Even Bloomberg reported that cloud seeding had worsened the flooding
>The truth is more complicated. I’ve spent the past few months reporting on cloud seeding in the UAE for an upcoming WIRED feature, and while it’s true that the UAE has been running cloud seeding missions this week—it performs more than 300 a year—it’s a stretch to say that it was responsible for the floods. (In fact, as we were preparing this story for publication on Wednesday morning, the UAE’s National Center for Meteorology told CNBC it had not seeded any clouds before the storm struck on Tuesday.)
