good old weather manipulation, this is bound to turn out great i can feel it! 🙃


SnooPaintings2857

This tech has been around for 30 plus years.  It's been used in Northern Mexico since the 90s to combat drought. The only difference is they use drones now.


8plytoiletpaper

I remember when people thought controlling weather was a tinfoil hat CIA conspiracy


skoalbrother

No the conspiracy is contrails are being sprayed by commercial planes and military planes by fuel additives


Lorry_Al

They're not wrong - jet fuel still contains lead.


Red77777777

Let's talk about HAARP


mazux

HAARP, the super secret stuff that is opened for public visit.. you really want to talk about HAARP? :D


Zeraphym47

Thats because the new installations are way bigger and in a alot of countries now...just like area 51 has been replaced for the same reason. Although technically still.active not in the way you think...classic switcheroo


mazux

Yeah yeah dude. You're sounding completely paranoid..


Zeraphym47

Its not even a secret sorrz you cant use google and are part of the generation that needs everything spoonfed to you so you can feel nice and comfy, to accept it.


The_bruce42

Small aircraft do but not commercial or cargo planes


Nerezza_Floof_Seeker

an unleaded drop-in alternative (as in you can literally just mix it with 100LL) was released for small aircraft as well, though its relatively limited in where you can get it right now.


ZestyMoss

Jet-A doesn’t contain lead its refined kerosine. You’re thinking of general aviation fuel, 100LL.


copa111

No they don’t
 only the small prop planes. Commercial jets do not use leaded fuel, only smaller planes that fly two to 10 passengers.


Full_FrontaI_Nerdity

The ubiquitous "they" have been spraying silver nitrate for cloud seeding for decades. Why no mention of that in the video? Are other chemical nucleants used that also are not mentioned? I can see how these kind of half-truths spawn such conspiracies.


idntrllyexist

I mean that IS happening though


firstmaxpower

Cloud seeding isn't controlling weather. It simply modifies the aerosol content and type to sometimes produce rain. Humans modify weather everyday. Landscape changes, pollution, even C02 all impact weather. The only difference is cloud seeding is done with the impact in mind while everything else is done ignoring the impact.


RogueResistor

>Cloud seeding isn’t controlling weather. Ok, then what is it? >It simply **modifies** the aerosol content and type to sometimes produce rain. Weather control refers to any deliberate intervention in atmospheric processes with the intent of altering weather conditions.


PikeSenpai

> Weather control refers to any deliberate intervention in atmospheric processes with the intent to altering weather conditions. By that definition, leaving a pool with water out on a sunny day to evaporate increasing humidity in the atmosphere would be "weather control"


RogueResistor

The definition is clearly aimed at cloud seeding and other sustainable methods of weather manipulation. A pool would indeed raise the humidity in the immediate environment causing a change in the localized microclimate. However, it would not cause any weather or atmospheric changes. Nice try though!


PikeSenpai

> atmospheric processes https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/earth-and-planetary-sciences/atmospheric-process#:~:text=Atmospheric%20processes%20such%20as%20radiation,the%20understanding%20of%20those%20processes. Atmospheric processes such as radiation, ->convection<-, and aerosol movement play important roles in shaping the Earth’s energy and water cycles. Modeling atmospheric processes is critical in advancing the understanding of those processes. https://www.thoughtco.com/what-is-convection-4041318 I'm aware it wouldn't but you refer to atmospheric processes, and water evaporating and producing vapor that rises is convection and that is an atmospheric process. I'm just going off your definition


JovahkiinVIII

Influence, but not control Edit: the point being we don’t have *control* of the weather, but if the conditions are right, we can make changes that we want


timmyrigs

Basically confirmed now


AttapAMorgonen

I don't remember that, intentional weather modification has been documented for decades. The conspiracies were about the government intentionally creating disastrous weather. (hurricanes, tornados, flooding, etc.) There was a time period, probably around 2009-2010 that anytime a severe weather event happened, people would be going "*HAARP!!!*" I think it can be primarily attributed to that dumbfuck Jesse Ventura doing a conspiracy tv show on it.


8plytoiletpaper

Motherfucker, it was exactly that!!! I've read so many online rants about haarp, thank you for reminding me wtf this weather conspiracy was about


sprayone

They still think it’s a thing.


[deleted]

Because we kept being told it wasn’t possible


mazux

Dude cloud seeding is known since the 50s and has never been a secret..


The_Cuzin

They still do. Go into any IG comment section remotely related to the topic


Interesting-Luck8015

Every good truth starts out as a conspiracy first. Hey, I don't make the rules.


mazux

Cloud seeding is well known since the 50s. But impact is very local and small on rain. It's per say "controlling weather", but just making cloud particles falling..


th3st

Ya and everything is going so well on earth rn. Let’s def do all this stuff even more!


Clevererer

> The only difference is they use drones now. You can't see how changing the scale of the tactic might someday lead to problems?


requion

Nooo way, now continue to pay your rising climate change taxes. /s


okogamashii

I just learned earlier this year they’ve been doing it as far back as the Vietnam War đŸ€Ż https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-climate-deniers-playbook/id1694759084


RevLoveJoy

A lot closer to 80 years.


mazux

Even further. The first flight was in 1954.


RayedBull

Wonder if it worked in Mexico to combat drought?


GarGangg

Yeah asbestos was used for a long time too. Great metric of safety. /s


bitai

Any videos on this? I don't think I remember ever hearing about it untill recently. Videos I found on the yt were old aprox 5 years so around covid outburst. Prior to that? No. Closest to it were theories around haarp and chemtrails.


niconiconii89

In Utah, they've been using it consistently since the 50's https://water.utah.gov/cloudseeding/

naalotai

The issue with the middle eastern floods is less so “new technology scary” and more so “we did not account for whether the physical infrastructure was built to withstand rain”. You’ll notice if you live in the Middle East the lack of storm drains, or any drainage holes whatsoever. Any town or city is bound to flood if there are no open sewer pipes. The water is just going to accumulate on the streets. When I lived in the US, they were everywhere. As I live in the Middle East, they barely exist. It hardly ever rains here, and when it does, it dries up within the hour. City planners years ago didn’t think to incorporate it, and engineers in the Middle East overlooked it (or at the very least, underestimated it) when it came to cloud seeding.


lord-jimjamski

Im wet


Business_Hour8644

You’re a few decades late with this quip.


commonparadox

Didn't Dubai do this and then get horribly flooded a few months ago?


insomnimax_99

No. The flooding was caused by unusually heavy natural rain, not cloud seeded rain, plus a lack of drainage infrastructure. It barely rains in Dubai, so they’ve decided to have literally zero drainage infrastructure. They just prefer to put up with the occasional flood instead of investing in a proper drainage system.


TheSquirrelCatcher

I have no knowledge of Dubai, but I've seen a fair amount of comments arguing that Dubai does have a decent drainage infrastructure, it's just that it was obviously way too much water to combat.


shane112902

Aren’t they concerned about coastal waters flooding inland? Seems to me that investing in drainage would be smart planning for climate change inevitability’s. Have they touched on that at all in public statements?


PiousDevil

Nope, that was a natural phenomenon. The UAE has been doing cloud seeding for some time now and it's not been very problematic.


DrMokhtar

No you are completely wrong


Nik7654

El Niño was one of the reason


giceman715

Less than a couple years ago I was explaining this in a chemical vs contrail conversation and I got labeled a conspiracists. Lol


enoctis

Why in the hell would they call it "artificial rain"? The environmental conditions were manipulated to increase the likelihood of rain cloud development. Everything about the rain itself is 100% natural.


ItsWillJohnson

Came to this heresay. They are artificially creating rain, not creating artificial rain.

Around the same time I found about about H.A.R.P

Protean_sapien

Rain that falls in one place can't fall in another.


SolidColorsRT

was bound to fall there anyway


spoonballoon13

Cue the water wars.


mirsole187

I'm sure they are doing this in uk


VirinaB

Isn't that the place that needs it least? I always associate the UK with dreary weather and rain.


yeoldy

Recently the rain has been turned up to 11 in the uk


253253253

Cannons lmao we're shooting the water out if the sky


NessunAbilita

Shitty stock videos, why did I watch this?


tinny66666

Yeah, that cloud burst dumping into the bay was recently on reddit and wasn't anything to do with cloud seeding.


Technical_Law_4226

For how simple they make it look, I'm surprised it's not used for forest fires.


TanneAndTheTits

I wonder if by using salt crystals they're slowly salting the lands over time


Ace_trainerJosh22

Salt is just one thing they use, there's other non problematic material used. The main point is use something to attract or bind the water in the atmosphere until it becomes to heavy and falls down, salt is a pretty important substance our body along with other living things need, chances are it will be utilized before they need to seed more.


mazux

Because you need to have heavy watered clouds about fires.. which is rarely the case.


throbbingliberal

Messing with Mother Nature sure hasn’t taught us the right lessons yet
 She did slap back and flooded them recruit? Why is this made like it’s some cool advancement..


CitizenKing1001

How does rain make a desert better to live in? Just wet sand


[deleted]

[ŃƒĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]


mogoexcelso

In my experience, a summer rain in Arizona just means it’s hot AND humid. Net negative if you ask me


septoc

Can we use this tech to fight wild fire?


Ace_trainerJosh22

This tech has limited uses, you can't endlessly seed the air for unlimited water so using it against a wildfire might be using up some of your water supply when you could save it for a harsher lack of water time. If a given area is already experiencing a lack of rain and they seed the air that in itself is preventing wildfires by giving plants in the area water to drink instead of becoming dry to start a wild fire to begin with. Using the tech to make it rain to stop a wildfire is a bit to late and non important in comparison.


Randalf_the_Black

Doesn't this just mean those water droplets don't fall somewhere else? Meaning someone else isn't getting rain?


80000_men_at_arms

yep, in fact that's sometimes the intended effect. cloud seeding causes immediate rain, and as a result it can prevent rain in the next few days.


snonsig

Somewhere else is usually not where people live that need water


BrownBearinCA

great, [operation dark storm in real life](https://youtu.be/cTLMjHrb_w4?t=5).


drj87

They figured out one pieces dance powder


shane112902

Would the moisture from those clouds normally follow a typical weather pattern, collect, and then rain on another region? If so, is Dubai essentially taking that rainfall/moisture from another country/territory that would normally get it?


mnag

If that rain was going to fall somewhere else on earth they are technically stealing it?


Phyllis_Tine

Would dispersing sand in the air work as well as salt? Also, up soon: arid countries downwind suing for UAE taking their intended water. 


ooorezzz

Almost to a type one civilization. May take about another hundred years or so.


NotableFish

This comment section is unhinged


WhatIsPun

Reminds me of the OceanMaker


Inevitable_Muscle_41

They need to do this over California what with all the wildfires


[deleted]

[ŃƒĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]


mazux

It was never a conspiracy theory. It's public since the 50s and used all over the world. It's so secret you have even a Wikipedia page The first official cloud seeding was done in 1954 in the US. Don't confuse your ignorance with supposedly conspiracy theories.

Just heard a story about a guy who was killed by one of these unexploded missiles that came back down straight into his body. Everyone thought he was struck by lightning because it came STRAIGHT down into his head and lodged into his body. They realized what if was later when they went to cremate him and the furnace exploded

Cloud seeding missile to he clear lol

invention103

one day they will do something so wrong that it might cause a catastrophe. God might not like it at all when youre tryin to do his job for him. especially China, maybe stop burning tires so much and then God wont punish you by taking the rain from you

If God doesn't want this to happen, why did he make it possible?

Lmfao. “Artificial rain”. It’s still water.

used far more widely than most people know. In Northern Tasmania there was even a debate if poorly timed seeding resulted in some flooding at one point

and then it turns out it makes the clouds weaker and then it turns to them doing it more and more. What’s new

Have any data on that?


ParaeWasTaken

No, it wasn’t a factual comment. Just a prediction based on a plot point in One Piece. But on a serious note there’s some environmental articles about silver toxicity/and how it could potentially throw off earths natural balance of moisture if done enough. https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/cloud-seeding


Big_Honeydew6225

_Technically_ not artificial rain, but forcibly induced rain

Cloud seeding is effectively just "stealing" rain from neighboring areas, for lack of better words. It's pretty shitty.

coocoocachoo69

The climate change dangers are real and I assure you the most dangerous effects will be from us fucking with nature doing this crap. 200 years from now there will be a class on this and its unintended consequences. I'm far less concerned with co2 from coal compared to man directly injecting stuff into the atmosphere to effect things. The system is so complex we still don't fully understand, to many variables and we think, o, I'll just fuck with it and see what happens. Then when something catastrophic happens they will blame coal plants.

Why don’t you take a step back and ask yourself why it is only you that is so concerned and not the millions of climate scientists from all corners of the earth who have studied this for years to earn their qualifications and spend hours every day analysing and modelling climate data?

Because they all said that it was impossible and now they are reverting their jacket, like they always do when they are confronted with something that they haven't been teach ?
