Cloud seeding was tried in Queensland in 2008.

From memory it wasn’t successful. Maybe the method has improved, maybe not.

 

Was tried in the seventy's on the west coast au, it was a starling failure.

Songkran is probably 1/10000000th of what the farmers use every day. Ok not to like it but it's not causing droughts.

Yup, heartily agree.

 

I went from Gütersloh to Aldergrove on a Hercy Bird a few times.

Always had crewmen coming down the plane banging pipes and tightening things up with an eight inch adjustable.

 

Had to have confidence in their mechanical expertise ????
