Bump!
Great article! Note they are only talking about natural clouds and snow. Using technology there can be cost effective man-made clouds and snow as well. That changes everything. We dam mighty rivers and build hundred-mile lakes so we aren't at the mercy of mother nature's fresh water sources. We can do similar with clouds and snow to control the climate.
Scientists don't seem to want to understand precipitation, at least publicly. The reason is that once we have a good cloud and snow model we can test inexpensive man-made methods to actively manage the climate to be whatever we want.
The end of the world is averted again by the use of technology. Next!
An excellent article. I think any reader of Hayek would understand that human beings are not good at really complicated things such as planning an economy. It's funny the same people who think they can plan economies think they can plan climates.
