An aircraft owned by "RHS Consulting" (a cloud seeding company) left KFAT (Fresno/Yosemite Intl. Airport) this AM for presumably some cloud seeding over the Sierra Nevada. Wonder who is footing the bill? Ag interests? The state? Fill those reservoirs!

Scientists have been trying to come up with ways to weaken hurricanes since the 1940s. Nothing that has been tried so far has worked, but that hasn't stopped a virtual cottage industry of researchers from hatching the next big, bold proposal. The latest idea, published in the August issue of the journal Atmospheric Science Letters, comes at it from a new angle and at an opportune moment: A study published last week in the National Academy of Sciences concluded that large, damaging hurricanes will happen with greater frequency as global temperatures climb. Early efforts at hurricane modification involved "seeding" clouds...

I'm not certain of the reliability of Conservative Tribune, as they quite anonymous White House sources, however it does seem plausible to believe that Obama has been "leaning on" certain companies to hire Muslims across the country and that's a VERY scary prospect! :( "Perhaps more damning, another White House official, also described by our contact as “senior,” added that the administration didn’t want anyone to look into the matter very closely. When asked why, the official pointed out that Mateen had been hired by G4S, a company that, along with other security firms, had been “leaned on” by the...

Would it be possible to privately cloud seed in order to make it rain? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_seeding

China closed 12 highways around the capital Beijing on Thursday because of heavy snow brought on after seeding clouds with chemicals, state media said on Thursday. All outbound highways were closed in Hebei, the drought-hit northern province surrounding Beijing, after heavy snow fell on Wednesday night, Xinhua news agency said. In all, 12 highways, including one linking Beijing and Shenyang, capital of northeastern Liaoning province, were closed. Hebei got its first heavy snow of this year on Wednesday. The provincial weather bureau said that snow too was "enhanced" by artificial seeding. "The snow has brought moisture to the soil, which...

The U.S. Government once supported research into methods of hurricane modification, known as Project STORMFURY. For a couple decades NOAA and its predecessor tried to weaken hurricanes by dropping silver iodide - a substance that serves as a effective ice nuclei - into the rainbands of the storms. During the STORMFURY years scientists seeded clouds in Hurricanes Esther (1961), Beulah (1963), Debbie (1969), and Ginger (1971). The experiments took place over the open Atlantic far from land. The STORMFURY seeding targeted convective clouds just outside the hurricane's eyewall in an attempt to form a new ring of clouds that, it...
