Cloud seeding is perhaps the ultimate silver bullet, in which literal silver in the form of silver iodide is infused into clouds, causing ice crystals to form and water to condense into rain or snow. Cloud seeding is a form of planned weather modification

Coordinating an art project supported by individuals all over the world, with proceeds being distributed to projects via a community vote seems impossible to conceive in any other eco/political scenario

4/..By failing to take these biophysical effects into account, current policies systematically undervalue forests’ climate services, fail to anticipate the full range of climate risks associated with deforestation, and result in inequitable allocation of responsibilities..

ICYMI: The UAE is leading the effort to seed clouds and increase precipitation. At 9,000 feet above sea level, a plane releases salt flares into the most promising white clouds, hoping to trigger rainfall https://t.co/Os5xyi8M7V

We are also working with a board of legal scholars and scientists to advance the purpose of the DAO, and are committing to a monthly spend on the causes we are concerned with.

@spreekaway Maxime Berthou did a cloud seeding performance in 2011 to show the geopolitical power of clouds. He burst a cloud before it crossed the CA/US border to underscore that "where" the rain falls is now within the control of nation states, without any legal oversight front intl bodies

@spreekaway Fabienne Quilleré-Majzoub, who is on our board, is working on a legal framework for clouds. This is a real issue being debated by legal scholars, with very tangible repercussions on our future.
