cloud seeding
Both the reading and the lecture discuss a method of decreasing hail, called "cloud seeding". In this set of materials, the author strongly postulates the method for protecting crops from pieces of ice fall from clouds and mentions three pieces of evidence to support the effectiveness of cloud seeding. The professor, on the other hand, does not consider the reasons mentioned in the article, authentic and challenges each of them.
First and foremost, the article reinforces the concept of cloud seeding by experiments performed in the laboratory. In this experiment, cold water vapors were incorporated with silver iodide which resulted in the formation of light snow rather than hail. However, the professor does not think it is a practical approach. He elaborated if this trial is conducted in real life, the emergence of precipitation will not take place at all, in clouds, and as a result, there will be no hail, snow, or rainfall. Moreover, this experiment will cause dry spell in areas where cloud seeding was analyzed, the professor added. Consequently, the crops will get destroy any due to lack of water.
Next, the professor states that the authentication of positive reports of cloud seeding came from different parts of the world, is in doubt. The lecture claims that the effectiveness of cloud seeding has not been approved worldwide yet. So it can not be concluded that it will work in the United States. Moreover, according to the reports, the method was effective in Urban areas where pollution is outrageous. Although, It is surprisingly true that pollution particles interact with clouds and seeding chemicals, for instance, silver iodide but this procedure will be limited to polluted areas, for example, cities. The professor further states that it may not work in less polluted areas, for example, in farms and villages. This argument completely denies the preposition from Asia that crops could be protected by cloud seeding.
Ultimately, the article wraps its argument by declaring the third hypothesis that local research was conducted in the central United States to evaluate the effectiveness of cloud seeding. The study indicated less destruction of crops where cloud seeding was implemented compared to previous years. In contrast, the speaker refutes this evidence by showing the inaccuracy of the author that the reduction of the crop damage was not only in the areas where cloud seeding was held but also in the surroundings. Cloud seeding is not the reason for protected crops but a natural climate variation could be, he concluded.
