The author of the passage discuss a way to prevent crop damage due to hail in America which is cloud seeding. The author states that there has been strong evidence to support cloud seeding method. The lecturer challenges the claims made by the author by stating the ineffectiveness of this method by giving several reasons.
Firstly, author claims that the lab experiment demonstrated the when silver iodide is sprayed on storm cloud it is changed to harmless rain or snow. This is challenged by the lecturer. She argues that in reality silver iodide can precipitate even snow and rain. This can cause severe trouble for cultivation in drought prone area.
Secondly, the author posits that there is supporting evidence for cloud seeding in Asia and other countries. The lecturer however, rebuts this statement by mentioning that study was conducted in polluted urban areas of Asia where the air pollutant can favorably cause cloud seeding and this cannot be similar to a unpolluted area of America.
Thirdly, author provides local study results of cloud seeding in some areas of Central America. The area where cloud seeding was used had less damage when compared to other areas. The lecturer disagrees to this point by explaining that east, south and north of that area had less damage to hail due the natural variation of whether and not due to cloud seeding.
