    Beijing's first snow of season 'artificially induced'

    Looks like cloud seeding is becoming a rather normal occurrence nowadays:

    BEIJING (AFP) - – Chinese meteorologists covered Beijing in snow Sunday after seeding clouds to bring winter weather to the capital in an effort to combat a lingering drought, state media reported.

    The unusually early snow blanketed the capital from Sunday morning and kept falling for half the day, helped by temperatures as low as minus 2 Celsius (29 Fahrenheit) and strong winds from the north, Xinhua news agency reported.

    Besides falling in the northeastern provinces of Liaoning and Jilin and the northern province of Hebei, the eastern port city of Tianjin also got its first snow of the autumn, the report said.

    "We wont miss any opportunity of artificial precipitation since Beijing is suffering from the lingering drought," the report quoted Zhang Qiang, head of the Beijing Weather Modification Office, as saying.

    I think this is all pretty cool, but is there any websites you know of about what type of chemicals are being used and whether or not they are safe for humans, animals, trees, insects, etc.?

    We do cloud seeding here in the US too. It's just done in remote areas and not really promoted to the general public. Here is a company you can hire to seed the clouds and the chemicals they use:

    Weather modification is also commonly known as cloud seeding, cloud modification, atmospheric resource management, and precipitation management. Weather Modification, Inc. specializes and excels in all aspects of this water management technology.

    Specifically, we offer a complete range of services from turn-key operational programs for rainfall increase (rain enhancement), snow pack augmentation, hail damage mitigation (hail suppression), and fog clearing (fog dissipation), to technical assistance and/or technology transfer for all of these.

    Oh I know we do it here in the US, I have seen when they do it as it makes it look like the sun has rings around it... I remember when they first did it and people freaked out, this is what they said it was, but never really got into it.

    I just want to know what type of chemicals it is and if it can have a diverse affect on people, animals and plants...

    Going to check out their site although I can only doubt they would give any negative information about their process...

    Thanks for the info, either way, still very interesting...

    You've got to wonder if by doing this they are causing droughts elsewhere.

    Contrails disappear shortly after. Chemtrails do not. Those who label it a "conspiracy theory" are in denial and want to make chemtrails=contrails because they don't want to believe the government has been spraying chemicals over their heads for many years.

    They are doing it from commercial planes as well. But you are right they are doing it a lot.

    Plenty of people have taken pictures and videos

    How can you tell the difference?

    Wait at some point states will battle each other over rain fall, and when it comes to a head, it may well get pretty bad because they could control the states water supply's.

    BEIJING -- Heavy snowfall in northern China is testing the country's disaster preparedness and prompting fresh questions about Beijing's efforts to alter its weather.

    A massive blizzard over the past week has dumped some of the heaviest snow in five decades on China's usually arid north, clogging highways and collapsing buildings in seven provinces. The storm, which began Monday, had caused at least $650 million in damage as of Friday afternoon and killed more than 40 people in traffic accidents or building collapses triggered by the snow and ice, the government said.

    http://online.wsj.com/article/SB125814710015847539.html


    BEIJING — Unusually early snow storms in northern China have claimed 38 lives in weather-related incidents and caused more than half a billion dollars in damage, the Civil Affairs Ministry said Friday.

    Nineteen of the deaths resulted from traffic accidents related to the storms that began on Nov. 9, the ministry said in a news release posted on its Web site.

    The snowfall is the heaviest in the area since records began being taken following the establishment of the communist state in 1949, the ministry said. It estimated economic losses from the storm at 3.5 billion yuan (US$513 million).

    More than 4.7 million people have been affected by the storms, which have caused the collapse of more than 7,000 buildings, damaged 297,000 acres (120,000 hectares) of crops, and forced the evacuation of 158,000 people, the ministry said.
