If humans are doing it it's "manipulated", word salads and all.

If I cut down trees in the wilder
Cloud seeding is a weather modification technique that increases a cloud's ability to produce rain or snow. It's done by introducing tiny ice nuclei into clouds, which then grow into snowflakes that fall as precipitation.





ness to build a road or farming, I just "manipulated" the ecosystem.
Cloud seeding is a weather modification technique that increases a cloud's ability to produce rain or snow. It's done by introducing tiny ice nuclei into clouds, which then grow into snowflakes that fall as precipitation.




How it works
  • Ice nuclei: Tiny particles of ice or silver iodide are introduced into clouds.




  • Ice crystal formation: The ice nuclei act as a base for ice crystals to form.




  • Precipitation: The ice crystals grow larger and heavier, eventually falling as rain or snow.


Why it's used
    • Increase precipitation: Cloud seeding can be used to increase precipitation during warm seasons.



    • Reduce hail: Cloud seeding can be used to reduce hail damage to crops and infrastructure.



    • Suppress fog: Cloud seeding can be used to disperse fog.
    • Increase snowpack: Cloud seeding can be used to increase snowpack in cold seasons, which is a critical source of water.


How it's done




    • Cloud seeding can be done from aircraft or ground-based generators.
    • The most common compound used is silver iodide (
      AgIAgI
      ), which is naturally present in the environment in small amounts.
Where it's used




    • Cloud seeding is used in the United States and around the world.
    • Some states in the western United States that use cloud seeding include California, Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico, and Wyoming.

There's no fire line to protect the more urban areas? :jbhmm:

For most areas no, and when this is all over that's going to be a major point of criticism and it's a fair one tbh. Freeways and major streets are about the closest thing you'll get to one. I'm watching the news and they're trying create some now while the winds are lower

Man, my biggest concern outside of people losing their homes and lives is the inevitable housing crisis that comes from this. I can really see poorer people being displaced because of rent increases and richer people maybe buying homes in low cost areas raising the property taxes forcing people out.
