I happened across this article about cloud seeding equipment and how the technique has been in use for several years.

"In the Upper Colorado River Basin, Utah and Colorado have been seeding clouds for decades. Wyoming has nearly a decade of experience, and New Mexico recently began approving permits for warm weather seeding in the eastern part of the state.

Colorado, Utah and Wyoming each spend between about $1 million and $1.5 million a year for cloud seeding. Utah's legislature recently expanded their investment in cloud seeding programs in next year’s state budget, allocating more than $14 million."

Well I read one the other day and I wouldn't put it pass them. That they dropped a metal rod from a satellite into the Anatolian Fault in Turkey and that's what caused that earthquake that killed all those people. You go jackin around with Mother Nature and she going to mess you up.

Interesting. Sounds like they do the seeding during natural storm activity. Increase rainfall by 10 15%. Cool beans

I thought it was interesting. A lot of people say the govt isn't messing with the weather. A lot of "conspiracy theorists" have claimed for years that the govt has been messing with the weather.

The funny thing about rain is that in order to get more in one area, you have to take it from another area. There's a limit to how much moisture the atmosphere can hold. I wonder if the cloud seeding in some areas are leading to the long term drought currently being experienced in other areas. It was one of the thoughts running through my insomnia plaugued brain last night.

Maybe, maybe not.

It was a tongue in cheek statement. Long before man was living in what is now Ohio, it was much warmer and mostly ocean floor. I personally, don't believe humans and our activities have much, if any, effect on the global temperatures.

Where do libs get off using the term "man-made"? aren't they required to use "they-them made"? :)

Anthroprogenic global warming is a hoax. Anyone with common sense should be able to figure that out.
CO2 is heavier than oxygen and nitrogen, it doesn't just go up into the atmosphere. It's all about control. The Oligarchy wants to control us. And when I say us I mean people who are free thinkers, like the folks on Homesteading Today.

On my own property, I look around and see the dead Ponderosa Pine trees that have existed there for hundreds of years, but have almost ALL died because of the GW induced drought.

Anyone with common sense should be able to figure out that trees that have lived for hundreds of years, but are all now dying at once is not normal. Take your head out of the sand. The changes are real.

Climate changes. It always has and always will. Whether or not it’s changing faster than normal because of human effects is up for debate, but it seems that we can’t have an honest debate about it. To me that is the real problem.

Within my lifetime, we’ve gone from global cooling to global warming to climate change and, despite two being direct opposites and one being an non-specific amalgamation of the other two, the result has been identical: changes happen but at a much, much slower pace than the experts told us they would.

The other constant has been that, whether we’re talking about global cooling, global warming or climate change, the prescribed cure is conveniently the same: the only way to fix it is for the poor and middle-class send more of their money to the rich. Meanwhile, the empowered rich will tell the poor and middle-class what they can no longer do, so that the rich, alone, can now enjoy those things without guilt.

The fact that the debate has been stripped of its honesty is evidenced in your own observation. You confidently claim that your drought is caused by global warming, yet the specific cause of global cooling warming that is being blamed would actually increase the moisture in the atmosphere and reduce instance of drought, not cause it.

When California finds itself in perpetual drought, it’s blamed on global warming (make no mention of the number of rats who have stuffed themselves into a cage with insufficient water infrastructure- that can’t be it), but then, as soon as the Sierra Nevadas collect a deposit of water to keep California’s rivers flowing strong all year… well that was global warming too.

You know how a person's body temperature varies when you compare oral, rectal, under arm, ear, and forehead temperature measurements?

Now somebody tell me how they take the Earth's temperature accurate to tenths of a degree.
--------------------------
  • The average normal oral temperature is 98.6 °F (37 °C).
  • A rectal temperature is 0.5 °F (0.3 °C) to 1 °F (0.6 °C) higher than an oral temperature.
  • An ear (tympanic) temperature is 0.5 °F (0.3 °C) to 1 °F (0.6 °C) higher than an oral temperature.
  • An armpit (axillary) temperature is usually 0.5 °F (0.3 °C) to 1 °F (0.6 °C) lower than an oral temperature.
  • A forehead (temporal) scanner is usually 0.5 °F (0.3 °C) to 1 °F (0.6 °C) lower than an oral temperature.
