How China changed the weather to clear skies for Beijing centenary celebration • FRANCE 24

A new report by Tsinghua University in #Beijing has revealed that the Chinese Communist Party used cloud seeding to artificially bring down pollution levels for its centenary celebrations on July 1. The peer-reviewed study shows just how far #China has come with this technology. FRANCE 24's Technology Editor Peter O'Brien breaks down how cloud seeding works, and the scale of China's ambitions to change the weather. #Tech

I love how the media just insist things are laughable conspiracy theories and then one day without skipping a beat they just say yeah its all real.

There is a huge difference between this, (which they can do and did last year in Mexico of all places) and city leveling weather events.

Awful weird weather in Texas in February 2021. Caused major power outages. Coincidence?

[@eddie788]

Nope

[@broke1286]

@@eddie788 Many countries have this "Climate Change" technology. To change the weather. Including the US. I put no evil past the Democrats. Look what 5 Democrat Governor's did to thousands of old people when they deliberately directed hospitals to offload contagious Covid patients to Nursing Homes. Democrats knew exactly what they were doing. This resulted in the deaths of thousands of the most vulnerable people - those with pre-existing conditions. Offing 246 people in Texas in February 2021, and blaming it on "Climate Change BS" meant nothing to Democrats.

Cloud seeding experiments began in Australia in 1947, shortly after the classic experiments of Schaefer (1946) in America showing that pellets of dry ice could rapidly glaciate a laboratory cloud. The first cloud seeding trials were carried out by Kraus and Squires (1947) near Sydney.

I don’t think we should mess with the natural flow and cycles of our weather. We’ll create an imbalance that we’ll be forced to constantly monitor and adjust, think diabetes, but we won’t be able to keep up.

[@sharonbendtsen3421]

So how will this impact weather elsewhere in the world. Why am i getting the horrible feeling this is responsible for the crazy weather all over the world

This is old tech, a lot of countries use cloud seeding for agriculture to some extent.

Science really is exceptional when ethical. We believe vertical farming will eliminate third world reliance upon western economies and produce a sustainable strong base for future generations. Arab authorities have correct solution as apposed to loading sky with dangerous chemicals that then fall into food chains and our bodies. It is nitrogen levels we must have more accuracy on at a local level.

We need to be using this for the US southwest like now. We already use it in ID, WY and CO to create a snow pack. Its only 15% more precipitation, but we need it for fires & to enhance the few storms we get in the southwest now. China and other countries are ahead of the US. Will we let the CO river dry up???

China for decades has led the world in applied (weaponized) weather control with links to NSF and World Weather Organization like weaponized virology with Wuhan/P.L.A. links to World Health Org, Fauci, Gates, CDC and US researcher in the joint research Sen./Dr. Rand Paul has been exposing in Senate hearings. Continuing comment: Biden's climate budget is going to WEATHER WARFARE CAPABILITY IMPROVEMENTS. Tornadoes figure in weather warfare. Review: suns rays hit nearly perpendicular at noon as noon moves around the equator, but at smaller angles closer to the poles, solar radiation spreading thinner like your shadow on the sidewalk at sunset. Warmer surface in tropics warms air which rises high and spills north. A stick in the ground on equator moves at 1,000 miles an hour. A stick in the north pole doesn't move at all. So air spilling northward has more eastward speed than north air it spills over (Coriolis); also distance to axis shortens as lifted fast-eastward-moving air spills north. (radius to axis at equator 4,000 miles, zero at poles.) By conservation of angular momentum jet stream results. Big gear little gear. W. war transfers energy Jet stream to frontal cyclone. Tornadoes of massive force are created and directed as a weapon. The jet stream has high wind speeds and cyclone (used as a verb) with larger radius, but -- big gear turning little gear -- the jet stream can transfer energy to a frontal cyclone with half the radius, adding, by conservation of angular momentum -- spinning skater pullling in his arms -- adds wind speed. The same thing happens when frontal cyclone is given a thunderstorm of one tenth the radius and transfers energy to that -- and finally the powerfully empowered thunderstorm can give energy for generation and fantastic acceleration for one or many super strong tornadoes of diameter 1/2 mi. Thunderstorms are steered by altering air pressure -- blocking solar UV rays with cloud which cools surface, lessening temp, increasing air density, pushing entire storm to desired track -- thunderstorm is the "MIRV rocket", the tornadoes the multiple "warheads." Air can be warmed too, lowering pressure to pull/suck storms onto desired track. Eliminating cloud screen with scattered carbon black -- van Stratton technique or fancier electro-magnetic waves bounced unto target region with energy-absorbing/heat/radiating particles scattered earlier for the purpose. Now you know.

[@SoundsOfTheWild3]

Currently, it can only mitigate rain shortages. Cloud seeding is not as effective as this video makes it sound it really depends on the environment. As the guy said you still need clouds and precipitation in the environment for cloud seeding to work and the dry north doesn't have a lot of precipitation. Likewise China is also heavily threatened by flooding and cloud seeding won't help with that.

[@SeeLasSee]

@@SoundsOfTheWild3 agreed. Plus if you do more of it you soon start affecting the clouds available downwind because of what you caused to precipitate upwind already.
