.... and yet many still think cloud seeding is a myth.




Some call it "chemtrails" because they usually spray a chemical like silver iodide. This is not the same as a contrail, which is H2O (water ice particles or water vapor, which dissipates quickly).

To show this is real and has been announced publicly, the Washingtontimes.com posted this news in 2007:

• Cloud seeding is nothing new
• The Chinese said they would seed the clouds with silver iodide to force rainfall
• A more modern method is to disperse the silver iodide through flares on airplanes. As the flares burn, the chemical particles disperse at a uniform rate in clouds. They can either be dropped from airplanes or attached to the wings.
• There is also the chance that seeding will produce hail

This is old news: silver iodide is sprayed in the atmosphere to cause precipitation.... and sometimes hail.

The general public is ignorant of silver iodide spraying, but it's been going on for decades.

Silver iodide is toxic. The manufacturer says it is too toxic even to be used as a pesticide.

Cloud seeding is real, with aircraft often spraying toxic chemicals into the atmosphere.
