Who cares. He grew up around rural folks and hasnโt forgotten where he came from. I understand you canโt relate to that. To you and other democrats โworking peopleโ is code for criminals, welfare recipients, and illegal immigrants. To the rest of us it means people who actually move this nation forward.
Cloud seeding is a form of public relations to say โat least weโre tryingโ to end droughts. Throwing some silver iodide in a cloud isnโt going to do anything to a storm that is large enough to produce appreciable precipitation. It might cause a few sprinkles from a cumulus cloud that otherwise wouldnโt have rained. There are also legal ramifications since it had been argued that cloud seeding is a form of theft โ you are stealing the water from areas downstream of where you seeded.
The ironic thing is that project Stormfury got axed in the late 60s after they seeded a hurricane and it happened to make a left turn to the Eastern seaboard shortly thereafter. It would be funny if this makes them think twice about seeding in the UAE, although itโs a bummer that they didnโt seed this storm (or at least they claim to have not seeded it LOL).

Paywall, but WP says ash got up to 70k feet. That would probably impact the climate a bit the next 1-3 years. Maybe counteract the warming from the other volcano.
