minus-squarepiecat@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·6 hours agoWe can seed clouds but that’s about it… And even that is just precipitating existing humidity. We can’t create rain if the air is dry. We also can’t, for example, make it snow in summer, create or control tornados, lightning, hurricanes, hail, etc.
