Florida doesn't particularly need cloud seeding(they get plenty of rain and don't need to increase snowpack on the mountains they don't have), so it's kind of a useless exercise. The places that do do it mostly seem to be wasting their time though. The climate change attempts to increase albedo and thus lower temperature are just research exercises at this point.
Cloud seeding is only a couple steps above dowsing in its efficacy. It rarely works to do anything. There is a basic principle that is true regarding cloud condensation nuclei, but the methods are so haphazard that it's still mostly just "doing something" to make people feel better. It's basically our equivalent of the Mayan elite rituals encouraging rains for the corn harvest.
Even if they seed the fucking cloud itl just fly over the wrong damn loactaion anyway xd
Nah. Probably will smack into a military helicopter before making it that far
I agree, though increasing snowpack seems to be the most plausible idea, though still a greatly wasted effort.
