Amir Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Do they honestly believe they can manipulate nature with "witchcraft". This is 50's experimentation without foundation! No, but it's possible to release chemicals (I hope safe) in cloudy areas to "brake" them and release their humidity that results in rain. It's a common practice in several countries in the world. It will however never solve a drought problem in a country but only bring some rain in some geographical areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muirton Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Cloud seeding was the main reason for the US to consider barring rice imports from Thailand a number of years ago. The US stated that such rainmaking activities gave Thailand an unfair advantage over producers in other countries and its own local growers. I doubt the US would have raised this if cloud seeding did not have a basis in science. Can you supply us with the sources for the first and second sentences?

No. It was a news item about 15 to 20 years ago. I read it in the Bangkok Post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveromagnino Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 cloud seeding is proven in science and anyone who doesn't understand it can read how it works; basically you introduce heavy particles generally various types of inert salts like silver iodide causing water particles to fall as rain in a set sequence; it is used for USA ski resorts, areas where there is limited rain, and in Thailand. China around Beijing were able to control the weather for the Olympics using cloud seeding ahead of time, and use cloud seeding to create a bump in the water supply for that area (since it is otherwise very dry). It requires specific conditions to be successful; it has to be cloudy, but not raining; you cannot make it rain out of nothing - this is why you cannot cloud seed in the desert. This is not an idea that might or might not work. It is a fact proven numerous times based on basic scientific principles that cloud seeding causes rain when you do it in the right conditions (some humidity, no rain falling). However, the cost is high for the benefit gained. http://www.coloradoindependent.com/144449/as-flood-waters-recede-ski-areas-step-up-cloud-seeding-efforts Example of seeding by one of the world's premier ski destinations (one of literally thousands of stories about how they have used this technology to prevent bad seasons in the last 20+ years).

Jimlove Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Impossible to make up this nonsens ... but what to expect from a country where 99,99% of the population believe in ghosts ... Scary to think that this guy actually run this mess of a country ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjcampbe Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 if somebody knew what (kind of products) they have spread in the sky, it would be appreciated to let me know.... but pm please... danger of censorship for nonsense plot/conspiracy ... I'm pretty sure that the initials of whatever they were spreading are BS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamnutsak Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Cloud seeding was the main reason for the US to consider barring rice imports from Thailand a number of years ago. I think there was more of a concern about the use of even more chemicals via rain-making, rather than some sort of un-fair advantage? Anyway, if it makes them feel better who are we to "rain on their parade"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
