Cloud seeding is a type of weather modification that aims to change the amount or type of precipitation, mitigate hail or disperse fog. The usual objective is to increase rain or snow, either for its own sake or to prevent precipitation from occurring in days afterward.

So as you can see any kind of weather modification raises unknown effects. You can image what could happen if we tried to modify not the weather but the climate, which are slightly different things.
Yes the consequences of GEOENGINEERING are unknown! Much better to work out the Climate Change issue in a natural way by reducing the use of fossil fuels. Believe me!Yeppers, something I've learned about in recent days due to this:
A Secretive Experiment Released Salt Crystals Over San Francisco Bay—Could It Help Curb Warming?
The technology could make clouds reflect more sunlight, cooling the Earth below. But even the scientists leading the study say letting go of fossil fuels is a much-preferred response to climate changewww.smithsonianmag.com

Actually also in our Catholic religion the Gospel says to treat fine the Garden of Eden and to leave it better than when we entered it.
Our fatal shortcomings as human beings have been that we treat the earth as just an object,” Grand Imam Nasaruddin Umar said. “The greedier we are toward nature, the sooner doomsday will arrive.” Then he prescribed the cure as laid out by their faith, which guides almost a quarter of humanity. Like fasting during Ramadan, it is every Muslim’s Fard al-Ayn, or obligation, to be a guardian of the earth. Like giving alms, his congregants should give waqf, a kind of religious donation, to renewable energy. Like daily prayers, planting trees should be a habit.
He is not alone in this country of more than 200 million people, the majority of them Muslims, in trying to kindle an environmental awakening through Islam. Top clergy have issued fatwas, or edicts, on how to rein in climate change. Neighborhood activists are beseeching friends, family and neighbors that environmentalism is embedded in the Quran.
So we have the Pope and Imams on board... Just not the corrupt politicians.Actually also in our Catholic religion the Gospel says to treat fine the Garden of Eden and to leave it better than when we entered it.
All people of GOOD WILL independently from their Religious Faith, political color, race, sex, age and so on are WELCOME to fight the Climate Change issue.So we have the Pope and Imams on board... Just not the corrupt politicians.
A new paper in Nature says that it will be expensive to fix climate change... But much cheaper than not fixing it.
38 trillion of dollars of damages each year because of the Climate Change issue. Wouldn't it be better to use this money to fix the Climate Change issue and avoid this way the damages?
Wish to report this article by NOAA about the importance of Coral Reef.Global heating pushes coral reefs towards worst planet-wide mass bleaching on record
The percentage of reef areas experiencing bleaching-level heat stress is increasing by about 1% a week, scientists saywww.theguardian.com
Global heating has pushed the world’s coral reefs to a fourth planet-wide mass bleaching event that is on track to be the most extensive on record, US government scientists have confirmed.
Some 54% of ocean waters containing coral reefs have experienced heat stress high enough to cause bleaching, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Coral Reef Watch said.
A global bleaching event is declared when at least 12% of corals in each of the main ocean basins – Pacific, Atlantic and Indian – experience bleaching-level heat stress within a 12-month period. The declaration also requires confirmed reports of bleaching.
Coral Reef Watch also confirmed the world’s largest coral reef system – Australia’s Great Barrier Reef – had been through its most widespread heat stress event on record in 2024.
The first global bleaching event happened in 1998 with 20% of the ocean’s reef corals exposed to a level of heat stress high enough to cause bleaching. The second event, in 2010, saw 35% reaching that threshold, and the third from 2014 to 2017 peaked at 56%.
Dr Derek Manzello, the Coral Reef Watch director, told the Guardian the current bleaching was likely to surpass the previous most widespread event soon “because the percentage of reef areas experiencing bleaching-level heat stress has been increasing by roughly 1% per week”.
NOAA’s threshold for the onset of bleaching relates to the amount of accumulated heat corals are facing at any given time, known as degree heating weeks (DHWs).
For example, a 1 DHW is accumulated if corals are subjected to temperatures 1C above the usual maximum for seven days. Coral Reef Watch considers 4 DHWs as a bleaching threshold.
We are close to reach a Global 365-day Temperature Deviation of 1.6°C (1.598°C).
On the 8th of April such a value was 1.59°C.
Horrible news
As I informed TMC, 2 days ago we were close to reach a Global 365-day Temperature Deviation of 1.6°C. I am sorry to inform you that today we have reached a Global 365-day Temperature Deviation of 1.6°C.
We have overtaken the threshold of 1.5°C set by the Agreement of Paris for the Global Temperature Deviation!
This is bad news. Please don't look up this post.
