Was Dubai's apocalyptic storm SELF-INFLICTED? Claims UAE 'flew cloud-seeding flights - which increase rainfall

Was Dubai's apocalyptic storm SELF-INFLICTED? Claims UAE 'flew cloud-seeding flights - which increase rainfall - the day before' 18 months' rain fell in 24 hours causing chaos that closed airport and sparked rush to flee the country

The United Arab Emirates is today attempting to dry out after the heaviest rain ever recorded in the desert nation caused utter chaos - but there are suspicions the horrific flooding in Dubai and elsewhere may have been self-inflicted.

The typically scorching UAE heavily relies on cloud-seeding - a technique which sees aircraft fire salt flares into clouds to speed up condensation and induce rainfall - to provide its groundwater.

Flight-tracking data analysed by the Associated Press showed one aircraft affiliated with the UAE's cloud-seeding efforts flew around the country on Sunday.

Meanwhile, Ahmed Habib, a meteorologist at the UAE's National Centre for Meteorology (NCM), told Bloomberg several cloud-seeding sorties were flown in the days before the unprecedented rainfall hit.

As speculation over the cloud-seeding grew, the NCM later denied in comments to CNBC that the operation had taken place on Tuesday in the hours before the storm - but confirmed the operation was performed on Sunday and Monday.

the Big Thompson flood in 1976 in colorado was caused by cloud-seeding, though no one will ever admit it ... however, ALL cloud-seeding “experiments” over the colorado Front Range were abruptly discontinued immediately after the flood, and the media pretended like cloud-seeding had never happened, even though the days and weeks before the flooding the media was full of praise for the wonderfulness of cloud-seeding ...

The 18 months of rain was 5” which seems like nothing. However, the first time I was there in 2013, they had a 1.5” rainstorm, and most of the city was flooded. I had to walk several blocks just to get back to my hotel. Cars were stuck blocking all the roads.

Calif. is overdue for a big earthquake. We should do underground nuclear testing on the fault line. Turn it red more ways than one.

It was a massive storm system. Seeding doesn't increase the size of the storm.

Dubai had flooding because they normally get so little rain that they don't have a storm drain infrastructure system. No storm drains, nowhere for the water to go.

This old town is filled with sin
It will swallow you in
If you've got some money to burn
Take it home right away
You've got three years to pay
But Satan is waiting his turn


[Chorus]
This old earthquake's gonna leave me in the poor house
It seems like this whole town's insane
On the thirty-first floor a gold plated door
Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain

[Verse 2]
The scientists say
It'll all wash away
But we don't believe any more

'Cause we've got our recruits
And our green mohair suits
So please show your I.D. at the door

wouldn’t this be a kick in the crotch to the alarmists who advocate cloud seeding as the answer to perfectly natural cyclical warming periods!
