Who cares. He grew up around rural folks and hasnāt forgotten where he came from. I understand you canāt relate to that. To you and other democrats āworking peopleā 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 āat least weāre tryingā to end droughts. Throwing some silver iodide in a cloud isnāt 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 wouldnāt have rained. There are also legal ramifications since it had been argued that cloud seeding is a form of theft ā 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 itās a bummer that they didnāt 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.
