“Best-case-scenario estimates — absolute best-case — are that these cloud-seeding operations are able to augment the amount of precipitation by at most 10% to 15% over very limited areas,” Swain said. “On average, it’s a lot lower than that. In fact, in some cases, it’s difficult to prove that cloud seeding does anything at all.”
Indeed, Andrew Dessler, a professor of atmospheric sciences at Texas A&M University, has gone so far as to call cloud seeding a scam — in part because it can prey on farmers and other people who are desperate for rain, and because it typically delivers only modest results, he said.
“There’s no physical way that cloud seeding could have made the Texas storm,” Dessler said, noting that the storm was fueled by extremely high levels of atmospheric water that stemmed from a tropical disturbance in the Gulf of Mexico. “This is a nonsense argument. There’s no debate here about whether cloud seeding played a role in this

During the Dust Bowl charlatans used to collect money from towns and farmers to take a plane up and drop dynamite out of it at height, with the logic that the explosion would somehow shock the water out of the air and make it rain. It had no real effect on rain frequency or intensity.
The more things change the more they stay the same.
The conspiracy is stupid as shit, and I would bet money it’s from some idiot who has either been brainwashed my Fox News into believing California is the cause of all America’s problems, or someone who benefits from selling that story.
Everything but accept that they were wrong about climate change.
Morans.
