"Unprecedented Dubai Floods Raise Questions About Cloud Seeding"

After heavy rainfall and flooding in Dubai, some have blamed the UAE's cloud seeding operations for the extreme weather, but experts say it's unlikely that cloud seeding caused the floods. Cloud seeding, a weather modification technique, involves implanting particles in clouds to trigger precipitation, and its effectiveness remains inconclusive. Concerns about cloud seeding include potential impacts on regional rainfall patterns and health concerns about the chemicals used. Experts emphasize that climate change is a major factor in extreme weather events, and human activities that contribute to greenhouse gas emissions are a more significant concern than cloud seeding.
