China Makes Artificial Rain for Beijing
Yahoo.com, May 08, 2006
So China has been manipulating the weather
for decades, and still people here in the west are in disbelief that
the government can (and ARE) manipulating the weather (read
HAARP).
Think about this again, then extend your thoughts. Suddenly you'll
be thinking about something very scary... Wes Penre.

weather specialists used chemicals to engineer Beijing's heaviest
rainfall of the year, helping to relieve drought and rinse dust from
China's capital, the official Xinhua News Agency reported.
Technicians with the Beijing Weather Modification Office fired seven
rocket shells containing 163 cigarette-size sticks of silver iodide
over the city's skies on Thursday, Xinhua said.
The reaction that occurred brought as much as four-tenths of an inch
of rain, the heaviest rainfall this year, helping to "alleviate
drought, add soil moisture and remove dust from the air for better
air quality," Xinhua said.
Though unusual in many parts of the world, China has been tinkering
with artificial rainmaking for decades, using it frequently in the
drought-plagued north. Last month, another artificial rainfall was
generated to clear Beijing after the city suffered some of the
fiercest dust storms this decade.
Whether cloud-seeding actually works has been the subject of debate
in the scientific community. In 2003, the U.S. National Academy of
Sciences questioned the science behind it as "too weak."
