What is weather control?
‘Weather Control’ is a way of manipulating the weather conditions in order to suit man’s needs. What weather can be controlled? One weather type that can be controlled to a certain extent is rainfall. By releasing crystals of silver iodide, dry ice2 and sea salt onto area of clouds from aeroplane, rain can be promoted. The crystal provide a nucleus around which the rain mass can gather. Eventually, this becomes big enough to make a droplet – and then you’ve got rain. In theory that sounds good, so why isn’t this done is periods of water shortage or drought? Well firstly, this system is very expensive, and only small amounts of precipitation are created from a large amount of materials, and effort! Additionally, scientists are as yet unsure whether this systems ‘creates’ any new rain, or simply just changes the place in which the rain falls. It is possible that the rain ‘created’ may have fallen somewhere else naturally. Isn’t it dangerous to mess with nature? Yes, and accidents have ha
