The United Arab Emirates and neighboring states were rocked this week by the heaviest rains on record, which resulted in devastating floods, dozens of deaths, significant damage, and diverted flights.
A government meteorologist indicated early on that the UAE's well-known geoengineering efforts were at least partly to blame. However, now that there is a body count, the government task force responsible for cloud-seeding missions in the region is attempting to deny responsibility.
Liberal media outlets such as the Guardian and Wired and so-called experts have dutifully accepted these denials, insinuating that climate change or other factors may instead be responsible. When it rains, the NCM makes it pour
Cloud seeding is the controversial weather modification technique whereby aircraft, rockets, cannons, or ground generators release various chemicals and tiny particles, such as potassium chloride, into clouds in an effort to artificially increase precipitation.
Professor Ari Laaksonen of the Finnish Meteorological Institute indicated that there are two principal cloud-seeding techniques. Hygrocopic cloud seeding serves to speed up droplet coalescence in liquid clouds, "leading to production of large droplets that start to precipitate." The other technique, called glaciogenic cloud seeding, serves to "trigger ice production in supercooled clouds, leading to precipitation."
Cloud seeding not only works but has reportedly helped increase Utah's water supply by an estimated 12% in 2018.
The UAE has been conducting cloud-seeding missions for decades.
According to the Khaleej Times of Dubai, the UAE has ramped up its efforts under the UAE Research Program for Rain Enhancement, managed by the Gulf state's National Center of Meteorology. This particular scheme was kicked off by the Ministry of Presidential Affairs of the UAE.
Alya Almazroui, director of the initiative, told the Khaleej Times in September, "By experimenting with various seeding approaches, we anticipate that these campaigns could lead to a more effective cloud-seeding approach and, consequently, increased rainfall in the targeted areas."
On average, the NCM reportedly conducts more than 1,000 hours of cloud-seeding missions every year, using aircraft equipped with hygroscopic flares full of nucleating agents.
It appears as though the NCM may have succeeded in its efforts at the expense of numerous lives. Disaster and denial
ABC News Australia reported that a year's worth of rain descended on the UAE Tuesday, paralyzing Dubai and effectively closing the Dubai International Airport — the world's busiest hub for international air travel.
Extra to prompting hundreds of flights to divert course, rains fed destructive floods across the Emirates and Bahrain, killing at least 20 in Oman and one person in the UAE. Underground parking lots were flooded and metro operations were shuttered. Power was also knocked off in certain areas.
Dubai's media office acknowledged Tuesday that the downpour the UAE experienced this week was the heaviest it has experienced in 75 years.
Dr. Ahmed Habib, a meteorological specialist with the Gulf state's National Center of Meteorology, told Bloomberg that the NCM dispatched seeding planes from Al Ain airport on Monday and Tuesday to "take advantage of convective cloud formations."
Bloomberg indicated that NCM flew several cloud-seeding flights prior to the downpour. The Associated Press also indicated at least one aircraft associated with the cloud-seeding initiative flew around the country on Monday.
The NCM claimed on Wednesday it had instead seeded the sky on Sunday and Monday. State media did not acknowledge earlier flights.
Omar AlYazeedi, deputy director of the NCM, later told CNBC that the agency "did not conduct any seeding operations during this event."
Habib also later changed his tune, suggesting that the six cloud-seeding flights he had previously told the press about had indeed flown missions but had not seeded any clouds.
Various so-called experts have apparently taken the NCM at its word and seized on the opportunity to instead blame climate change.
Daniel Swain, a "climate scientist" at the University of California, Los Angeles, tweeted, "Did cloud seeding play a role? (Spoiler: likely no!) But how about #ClimateChange? (Another spoiler: likely yes!)."
"When we talk about heavy rainfall, we need to talk about climate change. Focusing on cloud seeding is misleading," Friederike Otto, a supposed global warming specialist at the Imperial College of London, told the Associated Press. "Rainfall is becoming much heavier around the world as the climate warms because a warmer atmosphere can hold more moisture."
"Rainfall from thunderstorms, like the ones seen in UAE in recent days, sees a particular strong increase with warming. This is because convection, which is the strong updraft in thunderstorms, strengthens in a warmer world," Dim Coumou of the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam told Reuters.
Maarten Ambau, an atmospheric physics professor at the University of Reading, told the Guardian that "cloud seeding, certainly in the Emirates, is used for clouds that don't normally produce rain. ... You would not normally develop a very severe storm out of that."
“....and I wouldn’t put it past the demon driven liars seed clouds, cause disasters all over the world, then blame it on “man-caused” climate change”
They’ve already been doing that. Consistently.
“I don’t know whether this cloud seeding is to blame but we’re in a three year level 2 drought.”
Maybe your PTBs could find some way to tick them, the geoengineering globalist ghouls, off... so they’ll seed your clouds and cause some floods. Might work.
Yeah and Gates and his friends want to mess with atmospheric changes because of global warming or climate change.
“I’ll bet that their “climate models” didn’t predict a year’s worth of rain in one day- but somehow,we are supposed to beleieve that their climate models can predict the weather and climate 100 years from now”
The only way these cretins can ‘predict’ what the weather is going to do... is if/when they cause the weather to do it. They’ve been perfecting this tinkering since the Vietnam War. Imagine how good they’ve gotten at it since then.
No thanks.
Well I couldn’t bet onto the carl higbie segment but it will be available in a few days- in the meantime, the following shows that the atmosphere had between 2000 and 8000 ppm co2 and contrary to the demon driven climate alarmists, the world did not burst into flames, but rather was cold, yet animals and plant life still survived fine
“Climate during the Carboniferous Period
Earth experienced an ice age 450 million years ago, with CO2 somewhere between 2000 and 8000 ppm. According to Hansen’s theories – all life on Earth should have been extinct before it even evolved.”
https://realclimate.science/2012/05/31/ice-age-at-2000-ppm-co2/#gsc.tab=0
And the site from which the graph was taken:
“Similarly, atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the Early Carboniferous Period were approximately 1500 ppm (parts per million), but by the Middle Carboniferous had declined to about 350 ppm — comparable to average CO2 concentrations today!......
—There has historically been much more CO2 in our atmosphere than exists today. For example, during the Jurassic Period (200 mya), average CO2 concentrations were about 1800 ppm or about 4.7 times higher than today. The highest concentrations of CO2 during all of the Paleozoic Era occurred during the Cambrian Period, nearly 7000 ppm — about 18 times higher than today.”

Lemme guess. They will blame this on global warming.
They change the climate and then blame climate change for the devastation.
Dubai should be lush and green by now with all this “proven” technology.

So did Noah’s neighbors....................
This is already happening. Global cooling is a much bigger problem than global warming. Global cooling means shorter growing seasons, famine, and many northern latitudes becoming uninhabitable due to frigid temperatures. They are hastening it now. It means control. It’s all about control.
Take note world ...
Enviro whackos can and will use cloud seeding to create mayhem and blame it ALL on global climate changes.
Mark my words.
Exactly. Or that banning ICE cars can reduce the average temp 100 years from now by 0.2 degrees.
Technically speaking, geoengineering -is- climate change.
this happened in colorado in 1976 after extensive cloud-seeding efforts ...
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 ...

"To this end, we shall urge proposals extending the United Nations Charter to the limits of man’s exploration of the universe, reserving outer space for peaceful use, prohibiting weapons of mass destruction in space or on celestial bodies, and opening the mysteries and benefits of space to every nation. We shall propose further cooperative efforts between all nations in weather prediction and eventually in weather control."
Then on May 27 1962, Vice-President Lyndon Johnson presented the graduation address at his alma mater, Southwest Texas State University (today known as Texas State University).
https://archive.org/details/he-who-controls-the-weather-will-control-the-world-lyndon-b-johnson
(at around 01:09 of 01:25) - "and ultimately to control the weather...and he who controls the weather will control the world."
LBJ gave the commencement address at Holy Cross College in June 1964, also mentioning weather control.

"Third, we will move ahead with plans to devise a worldwide weather system--using the satellites and the facilities of all industrialized countries. The space age has given us unparalleled capacity to predict the course of the weather. By working together, on a global basis, we can take new strides toward coping with the historic enemies of storm and drought and flood."
October 25 1964: Statement by the President on the Agreement With the Soviet Union for the Exchange of Weather Information.
"I AM HAPPY to be able to announce that we have reached an agreement with the Soviet Union for the exchange of weather information between Washington and Moscow."
This is a good step forward in building the World Weather System to which I repledged American cooperation last June at Holy Cross College.
This cooperative effort has grown out of the beginning made by President Kennedy in his speech to the United Nations on September 25, 1961 He said then that our country "... would propose cooperative efforts between all nations in weather predictions and eventually in weather control .... "
August 15, 1952 was the date of what is believed to be the first recorded instance of geoengineering/weather control - the Lynmouth Flood Disaster in Britain.
https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2001/aug/30/sillyseason.physicalsciences
On August 15, 1952, one of the worst flash floods ever to have occurred in Britain swept through the Devon village of Lynmouth. Thirty five people died as a torrent of 90m tons of water and thousands of tons of rock poured off saturated Exmoor and into the village destroying homes, bridges, shops and hotels.
The disaster was officially termed "the hand of God" but new evidence from previously classified government files suggests that a team of international scientists working with the RAF was experimenting with artificial rainmaking in southern Britain in the same week and could possibly be implicated.
Squadron Leader Len Otley, who was working on what was known as Operation Cumulus, has told the BBC that they jokingly referred to the rainmaking exercise as Operation Witch Doctor.
Coincidentally, August 15 was the date of the founding of the Jesuit Order (1540). There is extensive Jesuit coding found in the Dubai flooding event, as well as other weather events. Joachim Bartoll and Joseph Acquavia present the numbers.
So once again, the conspiracy nut jobs were right.
The Jesuit Order was founded by Ignatius of Loyola and six others on August 15, 1534. Six years later, Septtember 27, 1540 - the order was confirmed by papal bull.
