@rexaifi my man no country has prepared for 2 years worth of rain in 24 hours and would be overwhelmed by that regardless. Seattle for example nearly flooded and it only had like 2/3 of the amount of rain that hit dubai even tho Seattle constantly rains and should've prepared for something like that.

Cloud seeding is 50 years old. California got hit a few months back, hundreds of millions of damage and loss of life.. and guess what - cloud seeding. The damage caused while trying to reinstate groundwater. ...and of course it keeps the money machine rolling with all those damage claims!

@coboltblue6793 Countries with torrential rain has at least developed some sort of flood tunnel or river basin to mitigate the risk, although it floods but eventually within few hours it receded. Tokyo for example has massive man made flood tunnel to tackle this issue, that also came from histories of major flooding.

Oh wow!😮
In Dubai's land of sand and sun, Where skyscrapers touch the sky, one by one, A tempest brews, a mighty roar, As heavy rain begins to pour. From azure skies, dark clouds descend, As nature's fury knows no end. The streets awash with rushing tide, As raindrops dance, no place to hide. Through winding roads and city streets, The deluge flows, no mercy meets. Buildings shrouded in misty shroud, As rain paints patterns, bold and proud. The desert city, now a sea, With waves of water, wild and free. Cars adrift, like ships at sea, In this unexpected watery spree. But amidst the chaos, a glimmer of light, As communities band together, strong and tight. Neighbors lend hands, hearts full of grace, In the face of nature's relentless embrace. For in Dubai, resilience reigns, As the city weathers storms and pains. Through floods and rains, it stands tall, A testament to the human spirit's call. So let the rain pour down, let it be, For Dubai rises, resilient and free. In the face of adversity, it shall thrive, A beacon of hope, in the storm's revive.

There is a beautiful saying: wherever there is rain, water spreads and life flourishes more. The United Arab Emirates will become, in the coming years, a land of rivers and lakes. The recent rains have revealed many river paths, watershed areas, and natural lakes that were in the past full of fresh water, and in the coming years we will witness water wealth. It is large in the United Arab Emirates, and this presents a great opportunity for significant growth in the Emirates, whether in sustainable energy production, agriculture, tourism projects, or eco-tourism, and facing the challenges of climate change that the whole world will face, represented by increasing amounts of rain, floods, etc.
We do things like cloud seeding and then wonder why we have so many “natural disasters”

Epic failure of cloud seeding.

You can't have a year off rain in a couple of days. Human involvement was at play.
By volume, the dry air in Earth's atmosphere is about 78.08 percent nitrogen, 20.95 percent oxygen, and 0.93 percent argon, adding up to 99.96 percent. A brew of trace gases accounts for the other approximately 0.04 percent, including the greenhouse gases carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and ozone. To think that a small increase (200 parts per million in the last hundred years) of carbon dioxide would affect the weather is absurd.
