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

No, I think that would be

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

not just an overcorrection, but like unsound policy.

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

But should there be radical transparency?

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

Should there be serious regulation and permitting around this?

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

Should there be reporting so that people are able to scrutinize the information from cloud seeding activities?

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

And should there be monitoring from institutions like NOAA or the National Weather Service to look for nefarious or malevolent weather modification operations?

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

Yeah, absolutely.

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

Not at all.

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

When we cloud seed and create these snowflakes, right,

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

the initial snowflakes that are created are created by water freezing onto the silver iodide, right?

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

But then those snowflakes break apart and create more snowflakes, and you get this chain reaction where, you know, the concentration of silver iodide is de minimis.

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

Like I said before,

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

After decades of operating, we've only seen as much as an increase in like eight parts per trillion of silver iodide in soil where cloud seeding is occurring.

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

There's already two parts per million in most American soil.

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

So like if even it is a statistically significant result, after decades of operation, cloud seeding has added a million times less than what's naturally there.

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

So there's no adverse ecological effects at all.

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

Certainly not enough to change the color of the rain.

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

I don't know what that was.

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

I hope it's not more deliberate disinformation content.

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

Yeah.
