This explains why it reians after you wash your car. The detergents evaporate off the car and affect the formation of clouds.

...bacteria swept up into the atmosphere trigger precipitation so that they can return to the ground. Gee, they're smart!

Well, the warmer it gets (globull warming), the more bacteria there will be, the more clouds will form (so they claim), the less sunlight will get through, the more it will rain, the cooler Earth will become. It will also flush CO2 from the atmosphere, as if CO2 is actually a problem anyway. Water vapor is about 95% of the greenhouse effect on Earth.

As smart as a rabies virus that infects saliva and makes its host get all mean and like to bite?

Snomax: used in ski slope snow making machines is mostly the bacteria Pseudomonas Syringae, freeze-dried then irradiated for your safety.

we need some of that bacteria sent to California. Santa Ana’s today, dry as hell.

This is amazing, and yes, I think it may have associated roots.

I had a hunch based upon the hypothesis in
Shemitta. I followed the link, and than another in the article to get the name of the bacterium. It's
Pseudomonas syringae. I plopped the name into Google as a literal along with "sheep" and got 12,700 hits.
Methinks I'm going to look into this in some detail.
