Hail-pellets.
The reading and the lecture are both about the evidence of the cloud seeding which has been effective in protecting crops from hail. As opposed to, the lecturer who counters-argues that viewpoint, trying to prove that these three evidence do not seem convincing.
First and foremost, the writer mentions the laboratory experiments which support the idea of the effectiveness of cloud seeding. Moreover, when experiment s added silver iodide they saw only a light snow instead of hail pellets. On the contrary, the professor cannot disagree more, reasoning that by doing this we can cause other problems that prevent the growth of crops such as running a risk of causing a drought. As a result, the corps would not grow.
The second argument the author gives is that the evidence from Asia are a sign that tell us that the cloud seeding could work everywhere. Consequently, the positive results that are seen in Asia could protect fields and farms in the US. However, the lecturer cannot be more outraged, explaining that in Asia the cloud seeding has been successful in urban areas where the level of pollution is high. Furthermore, the pollution favors the conditions of effective cloud seeding. Actually, in the unpolluted areas of the US farming that would not work.
Lastly, on one hand the passage points out that the local studies are also a good support to value the cloud seeding. The study have shown that in a farming region has been seen a reduction of hail damage compare to previous years. So, that would be the same for all local regions. Nevertheless, the professor declares that if this occur everywhere it means that it is a natural variation and has nothing to do with the artificial cloud seeding.
In conclusion, although, the text suggests three evidence in supporting of the cloud seeding, the lecturer believes that none of these are persuasive.
