'Cloud seeding' is the attempt to change the amount or type of precipitation that falls out of clouds or the structure of clouds by using certain chemicals dispersed by various means.
The most common chemicals used but not limited to for cloud seeding include silver iodide and dry ice (frozen carbon dioxide). These chemicals may be dispersed by aircraft or by dispersion devices located on the ground. For example, silver iodide flares will be ignited as an aircraft flies through a cloud. When released by devices on the ground, air currents may pull the fine particles up into the air. The hope is with cloud seeding is that chemicals provide a nucleus for moisture in the cloud to form around, which they hope will cause the precipitation to increase from the clouds or cause the clouds to become less dense. It is debated whether cloud seeding increases the amount of precipitation from a cloud. Part of the problem is that it is impossible to know how much precipitation would have occurred had the cloud not been seeded. The first largely noted attempt at cloud seeding was in the state of Massachusetts in 1946. A plane seeded a cloud with crushed dry ice; snow began falling out of that cloud. Noted atmospheric scientist Bernard Vonnegut (brother of novelist Kurt Vonnegut) is credited with discovering the potential of silver iodide for use in cloud seeding. An attempt by the US to modify hurricanes in the Atlantic basin using cloud seeding in the 1950's was called Project Stormfury. Watch video of Ben Livingston, Naval Weapons Center and Navy Post Graduate, talk about his part in Project Stormfury Today, cloud seeding is used to attempt to increase precipitation in areas experiencing drought, to attempt to reduce the size of hailstones that form in thunderstorms, and to attempt to reduce the amount of fog in and around airports. Cloud seeding is also used by some major ski resorts to induce snow fall with questionable results. Currently the National Research Council concludes that "there still is no convincing scientific proof of the efficacy of intentional weather modification efforts." In our opinion cloud seeding is a voiloation of our rights. There should be no weather modification at all. The air, clouds or the atomosphere does not belong to any one country, government or for profit agency. Also, there has been no long term study as to the health effects to humans, animals and the enviorment. To seed clouds without the express consent of the people is to conduct human experimention against the will of the people. There is no concrete proof that cloud seeding works. Could seeding experiments should be stopped now! http://www.chemtrails911.com/cloud%20seeding.htm |

From CBS Houston:
In a paper published in Atmospheric Science Letters, researchers believe cloud seeding marine stratocumulus clouds — which cover an estimated quarter of the world’s oceans – with “copious quantities of seawater cloud condensation nuclei” that it would help to tame the formation of deadly and destructive hurricanes. . .
. . . The study believes that by using drones to spray tiny seawater droplets into stratocumulus clouds, it could reduce sea surface temperatures where hurricanes develop. This technique — known as marine cloud brightening — increases cloud reflectivity and duration, causing more sunlight to be bounced back into space, which in turn lowers sea surface temperatures by a few degrees. |

I saw this in action one time and became a believer.
I was camping with my kids in PA. They were both in their teen years and I woke up just before sunrise and wanted to go view an eagles nest at day break and there was a cleared hill over looking the wetlands below so I grabbed my binoculars and took a five minute ride to the viewing spot, as the sun was rising on a clear day and all across the sky you could see the contrails in a checkerboard pattern it appeared as if every plane in the air force was out. So of course I put my binoculars on a plane to see what type it was and while I was observing it making a nice contrail it suddenly stopped making one. I continued to track it as it changed course it went from North to South and when it got east to west the contrail came back on, I was puzzled and continued to track it.... the contrail turned off it banked back to a north and south direction and to continue the checkerboard pattern it turned its contrail back on. All very strange. Needless to say by mid afternoon a clear day turned very hazy as the contrails spread out into some type of weird cloud cover. |

Sorry, but Hurricanes are a part of nature. Part of replenishing the planet. Seeding bad. ![]() |
