The lecture disputes the idea presented in the reading passage about the effectiveness of cloud seeding in preventing damage to crops caused by formation of hail. The lecturer asserts that cloud seeding does not work in all geographic areas and may cause crops to die due to other reasons.
First of all the lecturer believes that cloud seeding may cause drought. The reading states that in laboratory experiments cloud seeding changed hail into snow. However, the lecturer states that with cloud seeding, there was a reduction in hail, snow, and rain. Thus, in real life using this approach to prevent hail formation may cause crops to die because of dryness and lack of water.
The lecturer also states that we cannot generalize the effectiveness of this approach in all region. The author states that this approach was effective in reducing hail in Asia, However, The lecturer states that this same procedure may not hold true in some other regions. For example,in the US, the air is less polluted which can explain why cloud seeding is not effective. He argues that pollutant particle in Asia may have interacted with silver iodide and cause a reduction in hail.
Finally the lecturer argues that in local studies we observed less crops damage in vast geographic areas. According to the lecturer, this might not be due solely to a reduction in hail, but there might be other natural factors that have contributed to the protection of crop, such as the use of fertilizers or pesticides.
