Terrifying footage of the raging fires in Los Angeles shows people stuck inside a home with their dog surrounded by the inferno.

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.

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.

It makes no sense they haven't use things to take the fire out quicker.
How do you seed "clouds" with humidity @ 5%?

It hasn't rained in what, 8 months? You cannot simply make rain. Also, women and black people aren't the problem when the tax dollars are diverted away from fire and rescue. But hey, there weren't any fires or loss of life/property when white men were in charge.

As much as we complain about rain and snow, at least we don't have to worry about wildfires.

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.

Yes, but it’s impossible to cause heavy rain like we have in the south.

Southern Cali is a desert. The atmosphere is too dry. You can’t seed clouds without clouds. It takes an incredible amount of energy to provide that area in all layers of the atmosphere.

Plus, with the high population and the draining of all natural lakes and reservoirs, they don’t have enough moisture in the air from evaporation.

This is exactly what man-made climate change looks like. Wildfires can be natural and usually help create better soil for agricultural growth. But instead, they have built numerous structures and ruined the ecosystem that when wild fires breakout like this, there are zero natural barriers to fight it.
