      I think cloud seeding is really benifical for areas where there is very little rainfall. I think more work needs to be donw to see if making clouds in one area affects the rainfall of another area.

      I didn’t know what this was, so had to look it up!

      It sounds like it could be put to good use (as Ollie says), but like so many things, it probably has disadvantages/negative points too… A lot would depend on how it’s managed, so that creating a benefit for some would not be creating a problem for others!

      After watching on the news recently all the tornadoes in the USA, and the loss of life/damage they caused, it would be cool if someone could think of a way to disperse them, before they became so destructive…
