Did cloud seeding cause Dubai flooding? What to know about the science
The United Arab Emirates capital of Dubai remains flooded after a deluge of rain fell earlier in the week.
Several unconfirmed reports suggest cloud seeding could have played a role in the flooding. Cloud seeding is when we infuse clouds with a substance like silver iodide, by spraying particles from a drone or airplane, or projecting them from a cannon.
“(Water will) start condensing or freezing on to that silver iodide particle and then basically build ice up,” explains Rachel Chang, Canada Research Chair in Atmospheric Science. The ice crystals grow rapidly until they’re large enough to fall as snow, or if the temperature is warm enough, they’ll turn to rain.
Cloud seeding became popular in the United States in the 1960s and now, dozens of countries, including Canada, use the method to sometimes fight forest fires or drought, create snow or to limit the size of potentially damaging hail.”
Global's Nathaniel Dove explains the process and whether experts believe it could have played a role in Dubai’s record rainfall.

@ochou333 you are correct about the age, only it happens in most countries, including the USA. The OP was being sarcastic, its not a conspiracy. But go to almost any left-leaning circle and bring up the topic of weather modification, and you will be labeled a conspiracy theorist, mocked and ridiculed. I think a more important point to mention, are that several other "conspiracies" are also proven right by extension, for example, how we have been blowing the whistle for years about manufactured events, such as debilitating droughts. Clearly if a 2 person airplane equipped with a special nozzle and a supply of silver iodine (which is a very cheap and easy to produce compound) then why are there droughts year after year? They complain about them in the media as if nothing ca be done, crops die, farmers loose money, and water usage for citizens are made to be temporarily limited. Sure makes you wonder, if we are lied to about anything else? Personally, it makes me wonder if any leftist on the face of the planet, possesses the conviction to deflate their ego enough to admit they jumped the gun when they arrogantly proclaimed us to be crazy, when it was objectively a display only of their own ignorance and bigotry.

It's not a conspiracy it's been researched in rich countries for decades like Dubai UAE with cities in the desert they use all kinds of ideas for water needs The conspiracy comes when people add the nonsense of chemtrails saying it's chemicals to control humans When it's simply an alteration from contrails( condensation trails) when you look at the background of these type of rants there is zero evidence Condensation trails a natural occurrence from jets at altitude and cloud seeding are two very seperate things

Government and corporations lie. God is good government is evil. There will be floods and the earth will shake and we will cry out to God to save us. What if Satan is manifested in evil men and God in good and the battle between God and Satan takes place inside us and is made real by our deeds.
