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 reading and lecture are both about clouding seeding is an effective way or not to damage crops. The author of the reading feels that it is an harmless process to protect the damage and also use the process for a few decades. The lecture challenges the claims made by the author and declare could not a positive effect on the crops.
To begin with, the author argues that the silver iodide produces water vapour in the laboratory which often observed in light snow and not produces hail pallet. The specific argument challenged by the lecturer. He claims silver iodide can create snow but in real life, it prevents precipitation of snow, rain and hail. As a result, many areas faced drought and lack of water which can damage the crops and therefore cloud seeding may have a negative impact.
Secondly, the writers suggest that in many urban areas of Asia successfully use to control the precipitation and also make a positive effect on the crops. The lecturer, however, rebut this by mentioning that the process is done in a very polluted area and may not work for the unpolluted area like the USA. He elaborates on this by bringing the point that polluted particles in the air by interaction with those seeds make a favourable condition to control precipitation. Therefore, cloud seeding may not a good idea for the unpolluted area in the USA.
Finally, the author posits that in many areas reduced the hail problem in many farming regions by the cloud seeding process. In contrast, the lecturer's position is that it may for the climate variation and the people of the region though that it is the effect of the cloud seeding. He notes that the same result is not demonstrated to the other region like east, south etc. therefore, it is not so convincing.
