Then we are talking about inter-state politics, not anything technological. This is not much different from the various uses to which the Colorado and Columbia rivers are put.
I guess I’m seeing it from the perspective of different regions are seeing different weather patterns emerging as a result of weather modification but we’re being told it’s climate change and that we should all be scared and fork over more tax dollars and use only green energy which is insufficient for our needs as a society, which could result in the implementation of 15 minute cities.
I have not heard of exceptional changes in regional patterns. Certainly not in my region, for as long as I have been alive (73 years). California has been suffering drought, but California ALWAYS suffers drought to one degree or another. It is a characteristically arid region. Nothing has changed about the occurrence of hurricanes or tornadoes. We influence local weather conditions through the "heat island" syndrome, resulting from forest clearing and building and road construction. The Dust Bowl conditions of the midwest came and went well before the "climate change" was supposed to be happening.
So, I don't give much credence to "weather modification," unless you are talking about specific opportunities in a day or a week to attempt cloud seeding.
And, in general, the whole "climate change" theme is a complete fraud, with mendicant pseudo-scientists finding justifications for concluding a disaster is impending (and please send me more grant money). Lately, a major study has found that carbon dioxide concentration level follows temperature trends; it doesn't set them. Since a cause cannot be preceded by the effect, this blows the whole CO2 demonization program.
