According to a recent study, it seems that fungi play a huge role in the formation of rain-clouds. #climate #fungi #rainforest #cloudseeding #science -
Cloud seeding couldn’t save Colorado from a historically bad snowpack, but the dry winter sparked more interest in the technology
At least nine states conduct cloud seeding operations, including California, Nevada, Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, New Mexico, Texas and North Dakota

The original article from Science, published in 2024:
Massive #SolarFarms could provoke rainclouds in the desert
Updrafts from dark solar panels could fuel storms—an alternative to #CloudSeeding
6 Feb 2024
Excerpt: "Branch and his co-authors wanted to see whether solar farms of more realistic sizes could alter the weather. To do so, they turned to a leading weather model, produced by the U.S. National Center for Atmospheric Research, that can account for land surface changes. They modeled the solar farms as nearly black fields that absorbed 95% of the incoming sunlight. When the solar farms exceeded 15 square kilometers, they found, the increased heat absorbed at the surface, contrasted with the relatively reflective sand surrounding them, appreciably increased the updrafts, or convection, that drive cloud formation.
"Just hacking convection wasn’t enough, however: A source of atmospheric moisture is also needed. The model showed that moist, high-altitude winds from the Persian Gulf would suffice. When conditions were ripe, the model found, a 20-square-kilometer solar field would increase rainfall by nearly 600,000 cubic meters—equivalent to 1 centimeter of rain falling across an area the size of Manhattan. If such rainstorms occurred 10 times in one summer, they would provide enough water to support more than 30,000 people for a year.
"The new work makes sense, and it’s 'very stimulating,' Lu says. 'They are targeting a real solution.” One concern, however, is that the simulated solar panels were darker than most manufacturers make them. Some current solar panels are even reflective, designed to cool their surroundings, Lu says.
"Still, Branch is hopeful that the idea could at some point be tested in the real world. Solar farms coming online in China and elsewhere are nearly big enough, he says. If they were built in the right spots, it wouldn’t take much to darken the panels as much as possible, and to plant drought-tolerant darkening #crops, such as jojoba shrubs, between panel rows."

Water managers look to spur precipitation in the midst of record-breaking drought
Rain Enhancement Technologies, a company that’s operated in Oman, doesn’t use traditional cloud-seeding methods, which are characterized by putting silver iodide particles into the atmosphere. Instead, they do what they call “ionization cloud seeding,” which uses high-voltage rays to ionize naturally occurring aerosols in the atmosphere. Aerosols are necessary for cloud formation, and therefore, precipitation.

Iran begins cloud seeding to induce rain amid historic drought
Authorities in Iran have sprayed clouds with chemicals to induce rain, in an attempt to combat the country's worst drought in decades.
Known as cloud-seeding, the process was conducted over the Urmia lake basin on Saturday, Iran's official news agency Irna reported.

Utah now runs the world's largest remote-controlled cloud seeding program
The Utah State Legislature pumped a massive amount of cash into cloud seeding earlier this year in an effort to help mitigate impacts from drought. The state's cloud seeding budget went from roughly $200,000 in 2022 to nearly $16 million this year.

#ClimateDiary 2/2 even if they had been in place. Understandably, of course, all this matters hugely.
2) the rather depressingly large number of people more willing to explain the disaster through #Cloudseeding rather than #ClimateChange
In both of these cases, the very human need for direct, concrete blame really shapes debates and beliefs. Climate change, even though also man made, is too large complex; makes us all culpable; requires too fundamental reorientation.
