In the reading material, the author cites three reasons to support cloud seeding (spraying the chemical silver iodide on storm clouds) is an effective method to protect crops from hail in the United States. Nevertheless, the lecturer argues in the listening material that cloud seeding effectiveness is unclear and opposes the reading material's reasons accordingly.
First and foremost, the author proposes that laboratory experiments have already proved that cloud seeding effectively eliminates hail. However, the lecturer points out that although the hail can be turned into rain and snow in experimental movement, it is also possible that hail, snow, and rain can be all prevented by cloud seeding. Consequently, it will cause drought.
In addition, the lecturer casts doubt on the author's reason that cloud seeding has Asian evidence. The lecturer reveals that this successful application in Asia probably will not get a similar outcome in America to render this disproof. High air pollution offers favorable conditions for the cloud seeding process because those polluted air can interact with cloud and seeding chemicals. So this method, which can be used in cities, may not be effective in unpolluted farming areas.
Finally, the author's third reason that local studies in the central United States show a positive result is also counteracted by the lecturer. The lecturer considers it unconvincing because hail damage in the whole of America decreases just in central America and in the east, south, and north part of the country. Hence, it is hard to say that cloud seeding is the primary factor in decreasing the hail damage - natural variation and local weather can also contribute to the elimination of hail disaster.
