I was watching this interview a few weeks ago. They talked about all the fires in LA and how we haven't seen the worst of it.

That seems like karma since we're witnessing the worst of it.

this is wild, regardless of whether this was started intentionally or direct result of climate change they don't have the resources to contain this. talk about lack of risk management

Doesn't the US have cloud seeding technology?
We have the technology to make it rain.

China controlled the weather for the Olympics a few years ago.

This is funny. The same people that railed about the fire department having a large budget and saying that insurance is a scam, are the same ones crying and bitching about the fire dept. NOT having enough money and home owners' insurance not being available. I even saw one billionaire that said too many tax dollars were going to the fire dept. posting about being "willing to pay anything" if a private fire dept. could come save his neighborhood. Welcome to What Your Money Can't Buy 101, you fucking hypocritical assholes! It's fucked up, because others have to suffer because of your selfishness.

I never knew that.

Cloud seeding is a weather modification technique that increases the likelihood of rain or snow by introducing ice nuclei into clouds. The ice nuclei act as a base for snowflakes to form, which eventually grow heavy enough to fall as precipitation.

In 2009, China used cloud seeding technology in Beijing to artificially induce snowfall after a period of drought, causing a significant snowfall that lasted for several days and led to road closures in the city; this was part of their larger nationwide weather modification efforts, which included using cloud seeding to control precipitation levels around the capital region.

Key points about China's cloud seeding in 2009:
  • Purpose: To induce snowfall after a drought period.
  • Location: Primarily in Beijing.
  • Method: Firing iodide sticks into the clouds to create ice nuclei for snowfall.
  • Impact: Heavy snowfall lasting several days, leading to road closures.

Thanks for this info.

It's never good when they have this warm weather all year round.
