Estimates are that it could work, but only on a huge scale, such as adding a trillion trees. Iirc, the North Eastern US has reforested pretty substantially in the last century, so we just have to get India, China and Brazil on board.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewave Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-weather-henan/central-chinas-henan-province-swamped-after-heaviest-rain-in-1000-years-idUSKBN2EQ2CF From Saturday to Tuesday, 617.1 mm (24.3 inches) of rain fell in Zhengzhou, almost the equivalent of its annual average of 640.8 mm (25.2 inches). The three days of rain matched a level seen only “once in a thousand years”, meteorologists said. Like recent heatwaves in the United States and Canada and extreme flooding seen in western Europe, the rainfall in China was almost certainly linked to global warming, scientists told Reuters. “Such extreme weather events will likely become more frequent in the future,” said Johnny Chan, a professor of atmospheric science at City University of Hong Kong. “What is needed is for governments to develop strategies to adapt to such changes,” he added, referring to authorities at city, province and national levels. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least you have your avatar, in place, for emphasis. I’ll just re-read some 20 year old disaster Sci Fy by Art Bell and Whitley Strieber. I bought it when hard cover was still in fashion. Somehow the premise does not seem as implausible as it once did. As always…. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saw a thing on artificial rain in the UAE, they are seeding clouds to produce rain there to reduce the intensity of heatwaves. The reporter said that 8 states in the West are also using cloud seeding to alleviate the long term drought there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rclab Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 38 minutes ago, Maureen said: Title of the next Gerard Butler movie. Good morning, Maureen. As producer or actor? Perhaps both. The premise two decades ago was a bit of an outlandish fringe scenario. Reviewing recent weather events it becomes increasingly plausible and topical. If you haven’t read it you might want to give it a digital look. I enjoyed the split narrative structure employed by the authors. Unfortunately the “Day after Tomorrow, which was based on it p, did not do it justice. Not unusual to find a written take better than the screen version.
