If salt is used as the seed its not nearly as bad as when AgI is used. This is one of the reasons why you should avoid good products grown in china.

I`m not so sure this is "AWESOME"...

there are wind patterns throughout the earth that have existed for quite a while..obviously. Thus, some areas get more rainfall than others..obviously. But when you drop the rain outta the sky prematurely, you`re simply depriving those other areas from the rain that they should have received...obviously.
haha i mean you`d have to do it quiite a bit, but you could literally change the climate and vegetation growth of other regions..and when vegetation changes its a domino effect from there.

cool nonetheless but i wouldn`t put it past a desperate nation to create some sort of fucked up climate problem...maany years from now...

Wouldn`t salt infused water than destroy all living vegetation it lands on?
Also than to create drinking water you`d have to filter the salt out of the water, as you would with the ocean.

Why do we insist on fucking with Nature? Dams, modifying river systems, changing the way it rains.

If we didn`t fuck with it at the start it`d still be running the way it was meant to.

It`s used by many Colorado ski resorts so they get more snow in the winter:

Exactly what I was thinking snickits, forcing the cloud to drop its water prematurely deprives another area it was really destined for, so you could eventually get Countries stealing other countries rain, another reason for us to go to war!

The future Bush Gererations will go to war over clouds instead of oil, USA economy will be saved again, yippee!

This`ll only impress me if they make it rain in the Sahara desert which they can`t so they can fuck off.
