The reading states that “ Cloud Seeding” is an effective method to convert hail into snow or harmless rain, which would protect the crops from getting destroyed by hails in the US. Thus, the author gives reasons for the support. However, the professor explains that the method of cloud seeding is neither effective nor clear, and thus, she refutes each of the points mentioned in the article.
First, the author posits that according to the laboratory experiments, cloud seeding is effective. Conversely, the professor contends that even though it may be true that the experiment of adding silver iodide to cold water vapour would convert hail to snow, but then it would prevent other forms of precipitation too like rain.This situation will result in drought which would cause damage to the crops due to lack of water.
Second, the reading avers that the cloud seeding was successfully used to control precipitation in urban areas in many Asian countries. This suggests that cloud seeding will also be effective to control hail in the US. The professor rebuts this argument by saying that the research in Asia was conducted in urban areas which is not applicable in US farm lands. She explains that the cities have more pollution due to industries and motor vehicles, which creates favourable conditions for cloud seeding. However, there is no pollution in the rural areas thus, this idea may not work in the unpolluted farm lands in USA.
Finally, the article claims that few local studies on cloud seeding found that the area treated with cloud seeding had reduced hail damage compared to the previous years. Conversely, the professor contends that the claims in the article are not convincing. She points out that although, the damage cause by hail was reduced in the study areas, there were many other areas in north, east and south of that region which also experienced reduced crop damage due to hail. She elaborates that this result was more likely due to the natural variation in the local weather and not because of cloud seeding.
