Great find. Also describes the way that the weather is being used as a weapon. Explains how they're doing their best to modify the weather to cause low crop yields this year
I don't see evidence of that occurring, but I haven't looked deeply into the matter.
From what I have seen locally, the rain jets are far less frequent than in 2021, but they return during hot conditions when it hasn't rained in a while. I believe their purpose insure the crop doesn't fail.
It seems to me that a side effect of making rain on a regional scale is excessive rain in those areas and less rain downwind. I think the simultaneous wildfire and flooding phenomenon is the result of doing it too much. This year, they have been more conservative. We will need to pay attention to see if this trend (more wildfires combined with more flooding) continues or if what we observe is correct--a more measured approach to rainmaking combined with fewer incidents of both flooding and wildfires. Please note that what I am describing only applies to the places I have been able to personally visit this spring/summer; other parts of the world could have entirely different weather policies.
I watched 11 - 14 minute mark.
