Man Made Weather

I don't think that idea has actually been proven at all. Just another reason to give us people who have no way of testing these "ideas" given by certain scientist in the world.

How about we look at the obvious changes in the sky caused by MAN. I do believe in every major populated area in the world there are military planes constantly releasing chemicals into the atmosphere which are visible to everyone.

So for us to sit here and talk about so called "plates" moving, causing a major change in weather is just ridiculous. Let us stop overlooking the obvious for just one moment please. I believe we as man have more to do with our atmosphere than we are told.

Thank you!

Barry's Response - Solutions are found by bouncing ideas back and forth and expanding on them. With that process, we address limitations of certain course of actions and unveil alternative possibilities. That's why everyone's input has some value.

Watch "The Apprentice" some time to see how it can work or fail to work.

On a more technical note, the chemicals you mention are most often associated with cloud seeding. Planes fly into storm clouds and release substances with the intent that they become cloud condensation nuclei. Sometimes the purpose is to get more rain out of the cloud. Sometimes to stop precipitation from evolving into something more destructive, such as hail.

In temperate latitudes, such as Canada, silver iodide works well by interacting with supercooled (liquid at a temperature below freezing) droplets to form a seed for this water to freeze against, thus forming a clump. This clump ultimately goes the temperate rain-formation process and falls as normal rain, just sooner, more abundantly and more gently than it otherwise would have.
