Drones and rockets bring rainfall to China

Drones and rockets are being used to bring rainfall to China during a record-breaking heatwave and severe drought.

The devices have been sowing silver iodide into clouds after more than 70 days of extreme heat and low rainfall in the country.

I'm in Europe and they are cloud seeding here too, there really isn't any point in bashing China for this one. Everyone who can cloud seed is cloud seeding

Used to do this in California years ago.

80+ year old technology. In 2008 i googled weather modification and found over 20 companies and 100+ planes waiting for a call. Nobody seems to know nuthin bout it

What possibly could go wrong with altering the natural course of rainfall?

[aaronzulu]

This is how we should fight war, with nature not with our fellow human beings

I live in the US and it's getting bad here to not as bad but still I just hope everything gets better for everyone 🙏😌💯

Instead of working together to save our climate, we’re literally shooting rockets into the air to extort the sky of rain.

I knew about those rain rockets for like 20 years but I really didn't hear of many countries using them.

Remember when governments altering the weather was classed as a "conspiracy theory" I remember.

Went to get in bath earlier water wouldn’t come out the tap, shot a firework in the tub and now I’m relaxed in a nice hot bath 🤷🏽‍♂️

Weather manipulation? I thought that was a conspiracy theory....

[meichak]

don't be surprised
if unwanted heavy rainfall follows
and drones are used to chase away the rain 🤔

[TWolfe]

Weather Modification Devices on display.

Do they mention that it goes onto cause droughts in other areas

[ANGELBOBS_YT]

This report is a bit more realistic than the conspiracies

[anthropicandroid]

Can't help but notice their neighbor Pakistan just got 700% yearly rainfall in a day

[RidingWithDave]

This was some damn good clickbait. Got me lmao, well played sky news.

Cloud seeding:

Requires the use of Potentially Harmful Chemicals.
It is Not Foolproof.
It is expensive.
Poses Weather Problems.
Dependence on atmospheric conditions.
Unknown impact of long-term exposure to cloud seeding.

How can it be that some areas in China are flooding and others are struggling with the lack of water 🤔

[suzyrottencrotch]

No rain in they sky ? No problem … this micro plastics have moisture in them
