The main idea of both the passage and the lecture is about the effects of cloud seeding to prevent damaging the seed land with hail. In this line of thought, the reading states that employing cloud seeding is useful and cites some reasons which cloud seeding had been employed and reaching the good results. The lecturer, on the other hand, casts doubt on all of the three episodes of arguments mentioned in the passage, believing that none of these strategies are practical and lead to the real world. In the rest of the passage, a comparison between them is provided.
First of all, the reading and the listening materials talk about laboratory experiment which efficiently of the cloud seeding has been check. The author explains that Hail usually forms water vapor that is close to the freezing point, however, when examiner added silver iodide to cold water vapor in the laboratory, they often observed light snow forming instead of hail pellets. Thus, the author contends that experiments in the laboratory support the idea that cloud seeding is effective. On the contrary, the lecturer believes that laboratory testing is different from real conditions. Although, laboratory experiment may prevent hail to damage seed or agricultural lands in the real case may prevent any preoccupations and not only seeds but also lands may damage. This directly contradicts what the passage indicates.
Second, both the text and the talk discuss evidence of the Asia cloud seeding usage. The author points out that in some Asian countries, for example, cloud seeding has been successfully used to control precipitation in urban areas. Therefore, the author elaborates that these positive results suggest that cloud seeding should also be effective in protecting fields and farms in the United States. However, the lecture notes that the cloud seeding procedure is done in the urban area in Asia which has a good condition for cloud seeding because of the polluted air; while the cloud seeding procedure will be done in the unpolluted area in the United State. This was another place where experience contradicted the theory.
Eventually, local studies in the United State farmlands which are discussed by both the passage and the lecture. The author mentions that A few local studies also support the value of cloud seeding. One study conducted in a farming region in the central United States, for example, directly monitored crop damage due to hail. Hence, the author suggests that the study found that in an area where cloud seeding was used there was reduced hail damage compared to previous years. The lecturer rebuts this argument. The lecturer states that local experience is done in the special area of the United State, so it isn’t very reliable. The professor thinks that this experiment should be done in the whole of the universe and then the reliability of the cloud seeding could be check. This opinion directly contradicts the passage presented and making it infeasible.
Sum up, although the passage provides some reasons to the usefulness of the cloud seeding in dealing with the hail, the lecture opposes about the effectiveness and possibility of those reasons.
