We could've had a nice thread here, but oh well.
This is nothing but another means of seeding clouds. Because of the temp vs barometric pressure and humidity they don't hit dew point. It rains naturally when it hits dew point, approximately. Seeding the clouds is nothing new, it dates back to the Medicine Man on the buggy who came to towns out west. Though it was a complete farce, it accidentally hit. Throwing a bunch of particulate matter up into the clouds will cause premature precipitation, at least as compared to "normal" influences.
In this case in a way, the "discovery" was made after the "technology" was extant. That is statistically it was noticed that precipitation strangely followed after battles which were fought with primitive explosive devices which did indeed, inadvertently seed the clouds. Later, in countries which celebrate holidays with fireworks displays, some noticed that it rained more frequently in such areas after the display, than meteorological data could predict. Later, real research went into it and cloud seeding began.
The knowledge of this "technology", but moreso it modus operandi has been known at least for most of my life. I paid attention. People would pay pilots to "seed" clouds, decades ago to induce rain in areas experiencing a drought. This is older than the dirt on my very first pair of socks.
The thing about cloud seeding, which is all this really is, is that you don't really get more rain, you just get it earlier. Now if it were done on a grand scale, the changes in air patterns could possibly change thus bringing in moister air from elsewhere. But to my knowledge it has not been done on a large enough scale to accomplish that. Correct me if I am wrong.
Droughted areas are generally cursed with stagnant air, because if it flowed, it would not lack the moisture. If the flora does not react, and reciprocate in the moisture exchange between the atmosphere and the soil, the air will become dry. Changing the air works well, but in some areas because of the lay of the land they simply do not get the change of air. Coastal areas do not usually have this problem for obvious reasons.
Just because they recirculate these facts as new does not mean that some guy at the pentagon has a special toolbar on his laptop that can make it rain in Nashville, Tennessee at 7:13 P.M. Nothing of the sort. This is not even as "spectacular" as the "discovery" of accupuncture.
Have these people been living in a cloud chamber under my porch or what ?
