Hail—pieces of ice that form and fall from clouds instead of snow or rain—has always been a problem for farmers in some areas of the United States. Hail pellets can fall with great force and destroy crops in the field. Over the last few decades, a method of reducing hail, called "cloud seeding," has been tried. In cloud seeding, the chemical silver iodide is sprayed on storm clouds from an airplane. This makes the clouds produce harmless rain or snow instead of hail. Several pieces of evidence suggest that cloud seeding has been effective in protecting crops from hail.
The author in this article and the lecturer both discuss whether the cloud seeding is effective to protect the crops from hail or not. The author explains that there are several pieces of evidence suggesting that cloud seeding has been extrememly effective in protecting crops from hail. Nonetheless, the lecturer casts doubts on the author's hypotheses and refutes each of the theories by providing several counter-arguments.
First of all, the author states that laboratory experiments have proved that the cloud seeding is effective. In this experiment, the experimenters added silver iodide to cold water vapor, which was formed by hail. Then, they observed light snow forming instead of hail pellets. However, the lecturer expresses that although the silver iodide can really prevent the hail from forming, the silver iodide also keeps others precipitation from forming, which in turn will casue problems such as drought. Thus, the crops might die by insufficient water.
In the second place, the author claims that Asian people successfully use cloud seeding to control the precipitation in urban areas, which means that the cloud seeding should also be feasible in protecting fields and farms in the United States. Nevertheless, the lecturer points out that Asian people use the cloud seeding in urban areas, which the pollution problems permeate severely. Surprisingly, the cloud seeding process interacts smoothly with these pollution problems, whereas areas, such as rural farming places, do not have pollution problems. Thus, the cloud seeding is not workable in these rural places.
Finally, the author indicates that few local studies also support the value of cloud seeding.To illustrate, a local study conducted in a farming region shows that the area where cloud seeding was used was reduced hail damage. In contrast, the lecturer declares that this farming region was not the only place, which were reduced hail damage. He says that there were neighboring area where showed minimal hail damage. Thus, he concludes that it was the weather per se that caused natural variation instead of the cloud seeding.
