Conclusion
–Even though cloud seeding aerosols are toxic and known to prevent precipitation, and weather modification can cause flooding and drought, California has been actively cloud seeding since the 1950’s.
–The accumulation of cloud seeding agents may be playing a role in the deadly and destructive fires in recent years as well as accelerating the degradation of our environment.
–Cloud seeding is not safe for our environment, aquatic life, wildlife, or public health. It’s time to clean up pollution and outlaw weather modification.
