#217 Augustus Doricko - Did Cloud Seeding Cause the Texas Floods?

You could get atmospheric scientists to run simulations on where the aerosols would have gone, how that would have affected precipitation patterns and the pressure systems in the vicinity.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#217 Augustus Doricko - Did Cloud Seeding Cause the Texas Floods?

And you could double E with like rigorous academic papers and publishing.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#217 Augustus Doricko - Did Cloud Seeding Cause the Texas Floods?

Again, not that people are going to defer to that sort of authority or credential, but you could do that as well to further corroborate this.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#217 Augustus Doricko - Did Cloud Seeding Cause the Texas Floods?

But like, I promise you that you will be hard pressed to find a capable meteorologist that

The Shawn Ryan Show

thinks this had anything to do with it and is not 100% convinced it did not.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#217 Augustus Doricko - Did Cloud Seeding Cause the Texas Floods?

Um... You know, I think, uh... I think there's maybe, like, two last points just to think about here.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#217 Augustus Doricko - Did Cloud Seeding Cause the Texas Floods?

The first of which, again, just to give scale and context here, we haven't really gotten into whether silver iodide is healthy or not, whether it's safe to use during cloud seeding operations.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#217 Augustus Doricko - Did Cloud Seeding Cause the Texas Floods?

I think when you just intuit how little we're dispersing on these missions, you can kind of get a sense that it's safe.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#217 Augustus Doricko - Did Cloud Seeding Cause the Texas Floods?

but for scale, right?

The Shawn Ryan Show
#217 Augustus Doricko - Did Cloud Seeding Cause the Texas Floods?

Like, and again, I want to make America healthy again.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#217 Augustus Doricko - Did Cloud Seeding Cause the Texas Floods?

Like I'm totally pro clean food, clean air, clean water, regenerative agriculture is great, et cetera.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#217 Augustus Doricko - Did Cloud Seeding Cause the Texas Floods?

just in terms of scale of what sort of toxins we're exposed to right now.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#217 Augustus Doricko - Did Cloud Seeding Cause the Texas Floods?

Americans consume like two billion kilos of pesticides every year.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#217 Augustus Doricko - Did Cloud Seeding Cause the Texas Floods?

We consume a commensurate amount of herbicides every year.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#217 Augustus Doricko - Did Cloud Seeding Cause the Texas Floods?

We are wearing microplastics, right?

The Shawn Ryan Show
#217 Augustus Doricko - Did Cloud Seeding Cause the Texas Floods?

There is microplastic, and we mentioned this in the last time we chatted, and that is kind of like the biggest clip, like there is

The Shawn Ryan Show

birth control metabolites in the water that we drink.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#217 Augustus Doricko - Did Cloud Seeding Cause the Texas Floods?

We are exposed to an inordinate amount of toxins all the time that either we deem sufficiently safe because of how little we consume on a day-to-day basis, or that is not great for us and we should transition away from, but is not killing people or causing respiratory issues or causing cancer in an enormous way.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#217 Augustus Doricko - Did Cloud Seeding Cause the Texas Floods?

The amount of material that we're using, 70 grams in an operation is, what is that?

The Shawn Ryan Show
#217 Augustus Doricko - Did Cloud Seeding Cause the Texas Floods?

That's like 10, 100 billion times less than like the total amount of herbicides and pesticides that people are consuming every year.
