With all the crazy weather happening around the world, is there some way we can control it? Mitigate damage? Cloud seeding ...

Cloud seeding has also been used in efforts to disperse fog at airports, boost summer rainfall and reduce hail. In fact, cloud seeding occurs in more than 50 countries worldwide .

Cloud seeding modifies weather by releasing silver iodide into clouds, helping form ice crystals and boosting the chances of rain.

In 2003, a National Academies panel examined the evidence on cloud seeding, concluding that there was still “no convincing scientific proof” that it works, and calling for a rigorous ...

Cloud seeding isn’t a new idea — in fact, experiments to increase snow production in storms have been studied since the 1940s. But the technology has been pretty limited.

The science may not be perfect, but if cloud seeding works even 20 percent as well as DWP says it does, that’s still a good bet for the thirsty taxpayers of LA. Correction: an earlier draft ...
