Cloud Seeding and Weather Manipulation
Countries have been cloud seeding for decades to manipulate weather patterns, with mixed evidence on its effectiveness and concerns about its potential to cause cross-border tensions. Cloud seeding is used to alleviate drought, fight forest fires, and disperse fog, but lacks oversight. The main risks are perceived geopolitical tensions and misinformation. While some countries like China have extensive cloud seeding programs, there are concerns about unintended consequences and limited scientific evidence supporting its effectiveness.
