CLOUD SEEDING? REALLY?

With the second week of April nearing the end and the ever-so-slow advancing of spring, I can't help but reflect on climate change. After all, isn't change what climate does? In that vein, I saw an article on "The Drudge Report" that described the suggestions of "The One's" committee on climate change as to how to bring about the change it determined is required or we'll die (I may have over reacted here, but then again, we are talking about our delicate little blue planet). These "experts", after weeks of studying years of manufactured climatological data, determined that because of the dire need to fend off the inevitable and urgent warming of the globe, steps need to be taken. The tactics these "experts" recommend? Cloud seeding and artificial trees! I kid you not! The article did give lip service to the fact that cloud seeding could have unwanted side effects and that the artificial trees could be cost prohibitive, but, given the trillions of dollars this administration has us on the hook for, what's a couple of more hundreds of billions to fight the evilness of co2. As Drudge says "developing".

It was a pretty nice day today, even though the temperature was barely seasonal. This evening's walk was enjoyable because of it.

I am looking forward to this weekend. All the "kids" will be here and it's Easter, too.

Have a wonderful weekend with all of the "kids." Maybe I missed it but what exactly is cloud seeding? I'll take a gander on Google.
