"Dubai Floods: Climate Change Blamed, Recovery Struggles, and Shifting Airport Rankings"

TL;DR Summary
Experts attribute the recent devastating floods in Dubai and Oman to a normal weather system exacerbated by climate change, dismissing cloud seeding as the cause. The heavy rainfall, which claimed at least 20 lives in Oman, was a result of a low pressure system and the warming climate, leading to more extreme weather events globally. Climate scientists emphasize that cloud seeding cannot create clouds from nothing and that the warmer atmosphere due to human-led climate change is responsible for heavier rainfall.
