Cloud Seeding and Rainfall: Debunking Myths

Cloud seeding, a weather modification technique, has long been a topic⁣ of debate in the ​meteorological community. Despite⁤ its decades-old existence, its effectiveness remains a point of contention. Contrary to⁢ popular belief, ​cloud seeding does not lead to catastrophic flooding events like the recent one in the United Arab ⁣Emirates that paralyzed Dubai.

The Science Behind Cloud Seeding
 
Private meteorologist Ryan Maue, a former chief scientist at the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, dismisses the notion that cloud seeding can create significant rainfall. He emphasizes that the recent extreme rainfall in the UAE was not a result of cloud seeding but rather a natural weather phenomenon.
  
Meteorologists and climate scientists attribute the heavy rainfall to human-induced climate change. The forecasted rainfall amounts were consistent with climate change predictions, debunking claims that cloud seeding was responsible for the deluge.
  
Climate Change and Heavy Rainfall
 
University of Pennsylvania climate scientist Michael Mann highlights the role of climate change in intensifying rainfall events globally. He refutes the argument that cloud seeding is to blame for extreme weather, emphasizing the need to address climate change instead.
  
Imperial College of London climate scientist Friederike Otto underscores the link between climate change and heavier rainfall. As the climate warms, the atmosphere can hold more moisture, leading to increased precipitation levels worldwide.
  
Debunking Misconceptions
 
Attempts to attribute extreme weather events solely to cloud seeding are often driven by climate change denial. Scientists caution against misleading narratives that shift focus away from t

Completely exposed Mitsotakis government about the scandal with her massive leak of personal data of emigrants to ND MEP Anna Michel Asimakopoulou.

As much as he tries to hide the case under the carpet, then also her indirect admission of the Ministry of the Interior that the processing of voters’ emails is illegal, the government is now called upon to provide explanations, as is the Minister of the Interior, Niki Kerameos.

The official opposition party’s reaction was immediate, and in the wake of the new revelations, it called both the government and the leadership of the Ministry of the Interior to respond, stressing that the Mr. Mitsotakis’ government is still “exposed and accountable” regarding the Asimakopoulou scandal.

Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury, a member of the BNP Standing Committee, commented that by illegally grabbing power, the ruling party is now also grabbing the history.

He said, ‘politicians of the country have now become historians. Those in power are the greatest historians. Awami League leaders are using the state apparatus, judiciary to legitimize their fabricated history. They are forcing this history on people.’

He said these things in the speech of the chief guest at a discussion meeting at the National Press Club on Wednesday (April 17).

Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal (JSD) organized a discussion meeting to demand the declaration of April 10 as ‘Republic Day’ in the light of the Declaration of Independence with the aim of establishing equality, human dignity and social justice in the background of the Second Liberation War.

Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury said, ‘Currently, the history of the war of ind

/ world today news/ Ten EU countries will record negative economic growth at the end of the year. This is the forecast of the European Commission. Among the most affected are the German economy, which is losing its status as a leader in the EU, and the economies of the Baltic countries. Why did European countries fall into recession and what reason is the European Commission silent on?

An economic recession in 2023 will be registered in ten EU countries, including Germany, according to the autumn economic forecast of the European Commission. In particular, the German economy will contract by 0.3% at the end of the year.

The most significant drop is expected in Estonia – with 2.6%, the country will set an anti-record. They are followed by Ireland, whose economy will shrink by 0.9%, Hungary, whose GDP will fall by 0.7%, and Luxembourg by minus 0.6%. Austria’s economy will shrink by 0.5%, the Czech Republic’s by 0.4%, Lithuania’s by 0.4%, and Latvia’s by 0.2%. A surprise to many was the forecast that the Swedish economy would contract by 0.5%.

At the same time, many countries show stagnation, that is, almost zero economic growth. Malta and Croatia will have the highest GDP growth at the end of the year – by 4% and 2.6%, respectively.

The EC concludes that, overall, the European economy has been actively recovering from the pandemic in 2021 and 2022, but has lost momentum since the end of 2022. In the fourth quarter of last year, real GDP declined, and in all three quarters of this year it practically does not grow. The EC reports the heavier than expected consequences for the economies of the increase in the price of the consumer basket. In addition, financial support is partially removed.

Meanwhile, the EC is silent that one of the main reasons for the catastrophic situation in the European economies is its own policy against Russian energy resources and the energy crisis. This led to a record increase in gas and fuel prices in 2022, and although the price of energy resources decreased in 2023, the negative effect continues to affect the economies of EU members. Europe continues to struggle with high inflation, which has forced interest rates to rise and loans to households and businesses more expensive.

Even if at the end of the year there will be no negative dynamics in the EU’s GDP, since the indicator can be corrected in a few months, then stagnation in the EU is already a fait accompli, says Yuriy Perevishin, a senior researcher at the Center for the Study of the Problems of the Central banks of the RAN HIGS Institute for Economic Research.

“There is a high probability that in the fourth quarter of 2023 and the first half of 2024 the qua
