The conspiracy theorists blame flood floods on cloud sowing – it must stop

like freedomResident disaster writer, you are tired of this nonsense. So let’s get into it.

The cloud seed is basically an attempt to make the rainfall from clouds. It targets clouds that contain water drops that are very light so that they do not fall. Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology I learned in the 1940s If you inject the metal into the cloud that resembles the crystal composition of the ice – usually silver or salt – small water drops begin to freeze to the metal. This creates heavy heavy particles that can eventually fall on the ground. These days, researchers can use radar and satellite images to determine the appropriate type of clouds and then fly drones or aircraft to them to differentiate minerals.

Why are we talking about it now?

Cloud sowing has become a regular scapegoat for the events of destroyed floods. After horrific flash floods in the center of Texas At least 120 people were killed During the fourth weekend of July, a wave of social media blamed the cloud. One emerging is called rainmaker The attacks that turned into violent threats were carried.

“There were death threats, whether via email or online, and our team has dealt with a group of heroes,” told the CEO of Rainmaker Augustus Dorikko freedomAdding that the company now has safety in all its facilities “out of abundance of caution.”

This is not the first time that Rainmaker has faced the implications of wrong information about cloud sowing. I was blurred through Hurricane Milton and Helen Hurricane. Ucla Daniel Swin’s climate contract Online “office watch” On YouTube to expose false claims about cloud sowing After the high rains in Dubai In April 2024.

But the reverse reaction against cloud sowing was particularly intense in the wake of deadly fatal floods. Dorico is partially attributed to President Donald Trump Former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn Mobility on the vehicle of the legislators and right -wing influencers who give credibility to misleading attempts to connect cloud sowing to the disaster in Texas. “Anyone calls this as a conspiracy theory that can go to himself,” Flynn books On x.

Things are also raised, MP Margori Taylor Green (R-GA) Declare On July 5 Submit an invoice This would make a crime of felony from “injection, release or dispersion of chemicals or substances in the atmosphere for an explicit purpose is to change the weather.”

Along a similar context, conspiracy theories Doppler weather fog like “Weather weapons” It rose in the wake of sudden floods in central Texas. The radar system uses the system To detect rainfallAnd now you should worry about guarding Sabotage Sometimes When people depend on those expectations To stay safe.

Can cloud sowing cause a flashing flood?

Storm cloud sowing cannot evoke a storm.

there Not even consensus About how the cloud seed can be useful to help reduce water shortage. cash Swin from this strategy Will it only lead to a file? Modest In rain on a small area at best. So you are unlikely to have a opposite problem.

The cloud seeds do not add moisture to the atmosphere more than it already exists, as Sueen explains at his YouTube office. “You just encourage moisture in the current clouds to fall a little higher than before.” “This is not something that can create storms. It is not even possible to create clouds.”

Chris Vagaski, meteorologist and Masonic Environmental Director in Wisconsin at Wisconsin University, Madiison, says the same in an email message to freedom:

“Campaign (cloud seed) usually focuses on a few targeted clouds and will not have the ability to affect a large area. The amount of energy needed to create a set of thunderstorms and heavy rains is so high that it exceeds the small addition of silver yozad or other seed materials.”

Rainmaker got FLAK from Cloud Seeding Absipracists for its customer’s mission on July 2. Doriko says: “This, like 10 Sales, says” Two values, “Doriko says:” This, “like 10 Skels,” Dorico says to customers who seek to pressure more rain for the farmer (in “Eastern parts of the south of the center of Texas,” according to Duriko.) These clouds were dispersed within a few hours, more than a day before the thunderstorms that would overwhelm the area.

So what caused destroyed floods?

A Dangerous convergence of heavy rains and mountainous landscapes Transferring water to the Guadalobi River and the surrounding areas that quickly turned into fatal slopes on the fourth of July. Before this disaster, the area was already known as “”Flash Flood Alley“

This does not mean that humans are unable to make disasters like this worse. The climate change increased from the heavy rains that led to fatal flash floods in the center of Texas, which is the first Ticket The French National Project for Scientific Research, which was completed by the climate scale project by the European Union and the French National Center for Scientific Research.

Pollution of greenhouse gases from fossil fuel Raising the average global temperatures. In a warmer environment, more water can evaporate and then dispose of thunderstorms. He says: “Climate change passes, the pump provides, and leads to the atmosphere,” he says. Climate scientists say for years and years A warmer climate will increase the possibility of severe rains“

The more conspiracy theories are more than what is happening, the more difficult it is to address these problems.
