The article and the lecture are about a specific project called cloud seeding which has the intention to reduce the damage produced by hail in crops in some regions of the United States. This consists in delivering a chemical over these areas in order to make clouds produce harmless forms of precipitations. The author in the passage believes that this technique seems to be reliable. However, the lecturer casts doubt on statements made in the article. She thinks that the evidence presented by the author is questionable.
First, the author claims that according to several experiments, this method works efficiently because in the laboratory light snow was produced instead of harmful hail. Nevertheless, this idea is challenged by the lecturer who posits that even it works in the laboratory, it is unlikely to produce the same effect in real life. Furthermore, she points out that this technique can prevent the environment to produce any precipitation which involves that the lack of water can make crops dry out.
Second, the article states that evidence in Asia supported the hypothesis that clouds seeding successfully monitored precipitations in urban areas. Nonetheless, the lecturer discredits this point by clarifying that this efficient result was due to particles presented in air pollution. Since it was put in practice in large cities pollution may play an important role in providing favor conditions to solve the issue but it is improbable to works in unpolluted areas such as farms in the United States.
Finally, the author mentions that due to the presence of evidence from local studies, this technique seems to be developed satisfactorily. The lecturer, on the other hand, puts forth the idea that the decrease of precipitation was not only presented in the specific area but also in surrounding towns which implies that it was because of variations of the weather instead of the could seeding.
