China sows clouds to snow on Beijing

Artificial snow on Beijing AFP 01/11/2009 | Updated: 11:48 |

Chinese meteorologists today managed to cover Beijing with a blanket of snow, unusual for the season, as part of their efforts to combat persistent drought.

Snow, unusually early, fell on the capital for half the day with temperatures not exceeding 2 ° Celsius and strong north winds, said the agency Chine nouvelle.

Snow also fell in the northeastern provinces of Liaoning and Jilin as well as in the port of Tianjin (east) which experienced its first fall snow.

"We never miss an opportunity to cause rainfall since Beijing suffers from a persistent drought," said Zhang Qiang, director of the Beijing Bureau for Climate Change, quoted by New China. Chinese meteorologists have been causing rain for years by injecting chemicals into clouds.

Known technique and already exploited for many years (10, maybe 15 years?) By some small private companies in the USA in order to generally boost the crops of the Southern States ...

Artificial rain by seeding clouds is a recent technique, developed and applied for the first time in 1946, in the United States, to combat the drought that was raging in the New York region. Then it spread to fight the lack of water around the world. Sowing has been practiced in Australia for more than 50 years, in the south of Italy in Sicily and in Sardinia, in Brazil, in Canada where in Alberta it is used to burst clouds before the hail falls. Many countries are starting to use this technology to combat drought.

In Africa, the "Al Ghait" program in Morocco began in 1982 during the reign of King Hassan II (1929-1999). The "SAAGA" program in Burkina Faso, from 1997, is a continuation of "Al Ghait" insofar as the Burkinabé government requested the assistance of the Moroccan government for its realization. The countries of sub-Saharan Africa gathered around the CILSS (Inter-State Committee for the Fight against Drought) have decided to put this new technology into practice.

In 2004, the World Meteorological Organization listed more than 100 artificial weather modification projects in the world, implemented by dozens of countries, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions. The biggest current project is carried out in China. From 1995 to 2003 more than 210 billion m³ of precipitation was created at a cost of 266 million US dollars.

Once again we are trapped by the media which are too stupid to verify the information they broadcast and therefore complete it by saying that "we" also know how to do ... or they respond to a "political doctrine". .. a little reminiscent of the cold war!

So please check the info before undergoing the "mental fuck" of our shit because even if China is the one that practices the technique on the largest scale they are far from being the only ones ... and especially far from being the first ones!

Totally agree with you, the Chinese are not the first to apply this climatotechnology.
However, I think that we must relay the news to assess the implications and damage to the climate.
These rains there must not have reached other regions which will be in pluviometric deficit (according to the winds, Siberia or Himalaya).
This corresponds to diverting all or part of a river bed without taking into account the effects on the inhabitants and nations downstream and to appropriate all of the wealth.
