Based on the given materials, the article as well as the lecture discusses cloud seeding. It's defined as a method in which the chemical silver iodide is dispersed on clouds, and it prevents the clouds from producing hail, which is harmful components to crops of some US farms. The author states that there are several theories regarding how much efficient cloud seeding method is. That being said, the lecturer provides several ideas to repudiate this claim.
Initially, the author says that under laboratory conditions, it has been examined that by adding silver iodide to cold water vapor, which is plentiful in clouds, light snow forms will be emerged. However, the lecturer explains that this phenomenon is just true during laboratory experiments; but in a real condition, adding silver iodide to the clouds prevents any formations from appearing, even snow and rain. Thus, if this method runs in low-rain regions, it would cause droughts, which is more harmful to crops, in compared to the pressures of hail.
Second, the writer proclaims that there have been seen several successful cloud seeding processes in urban areas of Asian countries, which show the efficiency of this method. Yet again, the speaker underscores that the mentioned evidences were in urban areas, which did have polluted environment; there are lots of air pollutions made by car traffics or another way, that provide a favorable condition for cloud seeding. Interactions between polluted clouds and seeding chemicals, as an advantage for urban areas, will not occur in farming regions. So, never is the cloud seeding process sufficient for farming regions.
The final point of contention between the reading passage and the listening one is local studies. The author thinks that based on a study done in the central US, the number of damaged crops has been decreased by cloud seeding, in compared to the previous years. On the other hand, the speaker explains that the same result has been reported in other neighboring regions, such as north, south and east. Thus, this phenomenon has not been affected by cloud seeding.
