Smoke actually provides particles around which water droplets can form, resulting in RAIN.
When areas depended upon smoke fires for heat, they had more precipitation (RAIN).
London now doesn’t have the great fogs which were typical of the city for centuries—but neither does England have the RAIN it used to always get.
If you want RAIN, you seed the clouds.
If California wants RAIN, it shouldn’t forbid smoke.
There you go injecting logic and reason into liberal feel-good hysteria! How dare you!? lol
