The reading and the lecture are both about cloud seeding which is a way used by farmers to decline hail by adding the chemical silver iodide on the clouds by plain because hail when it falls on the ground destroys farmer's crops. More specifically, in regard to the passage, the writer presents three theories about the effectiveness of this method to reduce hail. The lecturer disputes the claims made in the article. His position is that it is not clear what the effect of this method is on farmers in the USA.
First and foremost, the author of the reading states that based on laboratory experiment results cloud seeding is an effective way. The article mentions that adding silver iodide to the water vapor results in light snow instead of hail. This argument is challenged by the lecturer. He claims that in real life this procedure can prevent any way of precipitation like rain, snow, or hail. Additionally, he points out that it's possible to make a new problem which is drought.
Secondly, the author suggests in some countries in Asia this way was effective like in China they used it in urban areas. In the article, it is said that this method can be used in the USA also. Again, the professor specifically addresses this point when he states not known if cloud seeding that is made in China can be made in America because it was made in cities where the pollution is high because of cars and manufacturing. He goes on to say that in America the farms are in places that are absent of pollution-unpolluted areas-, so it may not work.
Finally, the author brings his argument to a close by suggesting that some local studies indicate after monitoring cloud seeding that the hail effect declined. Not surprisingly, the lecturer takes issue with this claim by contending that the decrease in hail occurred in neighboring places in addition to the farming areas. He notes that by using this method natural variation in the weather may occur.
