In the reading passage, the author mentions several pieces of evidence supporting that cloud seeding has protected crops from hail effectively. These arguments, however, are rebuts by the lecturer.
First, the author states that experiments in laboratory have proved that silver iodide added to cold water vapor could reduce the precipitation. The lecturer contradicts this point and suggests that cloud seeding will prevent all types of precipitation including rain in real condition. Consequently, crops would be destructed by other reasons like drought or lack of water.
Second, the author claims that cloud seeding has succeeded in controlling precipitation in Asia urban areas. The lecturer challenges that the air pollution in cities is favorable to cloud seeding as it can produce chemical interaction with cloud seeding. Hence, its success is unlikely to be copied in unpolluted farming regions in United States.
Finally, the author refers to a few local studies monitored crop damage has found that farm with cloud seeding decreased hail destruction substantially compared to previous years. The lecturer points out that the neighbor regions without implementing cloud seeding are also detected hail reduction. Therefore, it might be caused by local climate variation naturally.
