Chemtrails are not a conspiracy theory, but an old technology
I have already written about how China uses climate weapons known
as chemtrails. But we missed one more piece of news. Humans have
tried various strategies over the millennia to coax rain from the
sky, and in the past century those efforts have become more
advanced: Weve used dynamite, silver iodide, and small particles
injected into clouds via planes or even anti-aircraft guns. But the
UAE is using a technology unimaginable to the rainmakers who
roved the Southern Plains during the Dust Bowl.
Footage recently released by the UAE weather agency shows heavy
rain falling in the desert. The fat droplets falling were reportedly
the result of a pilot test of the drones. Using unmanned drones that
discharge electricity may sound a little foolhardy in the midst of
storm clouds, but that electricity could be a key ingredient in
getting rain to fall (

Clouds are made up water droplets, which are too tiny to fall out
of the sky (hence, clouds exist). The electrical charges essentially
encourage those small droplets to collide and condense into
bigger ones that do eventually get heavy enough to fall as rain.
In a country like the UAE, however, even drops that are big enough
to fall as rain can often evaporate before reaching the ground owing
to the very low humidity. The electrical charging technique could
help fatten those droplets up enough to reach the desert floor and
replenish a water table thats been sinking due the regions
rapacious growth.
The researchers at the University of Reading who are behind the
system have spent time modeling it as well as doing balloon-based
tests over the past year to gauge its efficacy. Earlier this year, the
drone tests began.
The UAE is hardly the only country to turn to cloud seeding in
recent years. China has a major plan to seed clouds from the heights
of the Himalayas, while South Korea and Thailand have used cloud
seeding to make it rain and battle pollution. Last year, Indonesia
overloaded clouds with particles to try and make it stop raining.
Different climates respond differently to cloud seeding, and while
its widely used, its still seen as a bit of a meteorological
crapshoot, given the intricacies of doing it right and limited
results.
The Middle East could use a little more rain. The highest annual
average rainfall total in UAE is less than 4 inches (10.2
centimeters). At the same time, the country has one of the highest
water consumption rates in the world per person, according to the
U.S. International Trade Administration. Thats put heavy pressure
on the aquifers underneath it. Government figures also show the
country desalinates 42% of its water, though thats an expensive
and energy-intensive process. Cloud seedingor I guess more
accurately, cloud zappingcould help recharge aquifers and take
some of the strain of desalination plants. (Water conservation,
instead of building lavish oases in the desert, might also be a good
strategy, but thats just one mans thoughts.)
The Emirates are expected to get drier, and so that makes finding
water resources from anywhere, including electrified clouds, a
priority. But more rain will only address one part of the countrys
climate woes. In addition to drying out, the country is expected to
heat up dramatically. If carbon emissions continue rising
unfettered, the country could warm a shocking 4.3 degrees Fahrenheit
(2.4 degrees Celsius) by mid-century alone, according to data
collected by the World Bank. Even a world where leaders get their
act together and meet the Paris Agreement goals could still be
catastrophic in terms of drought and warming. That means, in all
likelihood, its going to take more than fancy drones to help the
UAE.
