U.S. Water Crisis: Western States Turn to Cloud Seeding to Fight Worst Drought in 1,200 Years

CHEYENNE, WYOMING - U.S. cloud seeding explainer.
Western U.S. states in the midst of a two decade-long drought that is the worst in 1,200 years are turning to cloud seeding to increase the water supply, according to CNN, with Wyoming a recent adopter of the method.
The process involves inserting silver iodide crystals, which have a shape similar to ice crystals, into clouds so supercooled water droplets accumulate around them and gain enough mass to form snowflakes.
Proponents say studies prove more snow is created than otherwise would have fallen and that at $28 to $34 per acre foot it represents one effective countermeasure against droughts.
However, seeding cannot be done without clouds that are going to produce a certain amount of snow anyway, and some are concerned it is effectively stealing snow from other areas rather than making more.
UCLA climate scientist Daniel Swain told CNN: “It may be, at least on a regional basis, a zero-sum game where if water falls out of the cloud in one spot, it’s even drier by the time it makes it downwind.”

10 years ago you where crazy if you said they did this

[@salsa564]

Not true. This is science, not conspiracy

@@salsa564 THIS was a conspiracy for years .......I was told I was crazy that cloud seeding and harrp went real .....eatherbway maybe messing with the weather is a bad idea

People STILL think we're crazy!! 🤦‍♀️ it's so ridiculous!

[@veganconservative1109]

Or maybe stuff like this is what is causing extreme droughts in some places and floods in others? Wouldn't be the first time governments mucked things up while claiming to be 'fixing things'. How long have they been seeding with this silver iodine? And what, exactly, does an excess of silver iodine do to life?

I agree with you I just came here from watching videos about lake Mead and it doesn't make sense ...

They finally admit they do this. I hear it causes brain fog in humans.

So suddenly we're allowed to talk about chemtrails without being called crazy? Cool. Weird how this always happens.

Yep. Another win for conspiracy theorists

Chemtrails were about commercial planes.

Didnt the US bash china over this? And didnt the US bash chemtrails as a conspiracy?

Kodak was right they control the weather too😂

I find it hilarious that this was all denied for most of the last couple decades, but they’ve been doing it in some places since the mid 19th century.

Sure did!! They had severe severe drought!! But those arse holes block the water from farmers. Terrible!!

@@Joso997 Cloud seeding was never considered chemtrails. Chemtrails are, according to your kind, released from commercial planes and are secret. This is released by plane made for this purpose and were never a secret.

I can suggest getting water from the ocen, purify it, then use that water to water things inland.

[@clownsforclowningaround]

Desalination is unfortunately an expensive process, as attractive as it is

[@otakukj]

@@clownsforclowningaround true but the US navy uses graphene to do it. They ought to quickly find how to mass produce graphene on a much larger scale. Such as flash graphene.

just let the nature do things not control it is much cheaper

What happens to the silver iodide? Is it ok to consume and could it affect crops?

[@iamaloafofbread8926]

They better stay away from the great lakes

[@MISTAKEWASMADE4live]

All it does is force clouds to precipitate water or snow they would have dropped over other areas anyway, it's not a solutions as much as is it stealing water from other areas, unless those clouds were going into the sea anyway. What is needed is desalination plants.
