In some countries of the world the drought that has been experienced persistently thanks to global warming and its impact on climate change has caused consequences ranging from the disappearance of drinking water sources, forests, species, crops, among others which generates a negative impact on the life of the different species that inhabit the earth.

Of the solutions that have been found to this problem is the bombardment of clouds and more recently the creation of artificial clouds, one of the countries that has recently implemented what they call "planting clouds" is Mexico where through the National Commission of Arid Zones was known a program to stimulate rainfall in the states of Tamaulipa and Baja California, this program is called "cloud planting".

On the contrary, there are scientists who believe that the lack of a real experimental test and only theoretical data on its effectiveness may cause more problems than solutions. The use of this technique and others similar to it had already been put into practice in the Arab Emirates, however, the results were more alterations to the environment and climate affectation.

The process is carried out through the use of airplanes from where they shoot at the clouds with particles of crystalline silver iodide, this material has a structure similar to ice and in the clouds attract water particles that concentrate in the nucleus giving rise to precipitation. It should be noted that this practice began about a hundred years ago and it was in the 1940s when they began to test or rather to test this technique.

So far there are no positive results that show conclusively that cloud seeding is really an answer to climate change and drought, on the contrary, in the Arab Emirates this way of influencing nature has caused great meteorological conflicts by causing torrential rains that cannot be contained and alter the seasons and with them the harvests. So far it is not possible to determine whether this way of interfering with the rainy season is really satisfactory, even though there is still a lot of research to be done on the subject, the only thing that can be perceived are the negative effects of this artificial process of making rain.

I would like to know your appreciation and opinion about this process, do you consider it an answer or a problem?
