Let me find the link to the video of the pilot of this plane being confronted at the Modesto airport. It was kind of a tipping point where I went from pretty neutral on the topic to “oh shit, this is happening in my backyard and they are being secretive about it”
Basically, the Central Valley of California is where most of our food comes from. San Joaquin county alone produces 80% of the country’s produce. 2 of the large irrigation districts here are cloud seeding in the foothills and mountains to the east to increase the amount of snow melt running down to the valley. There’s a part in the video where the lady confronting the pilot says “you’re making it rain” and the pilot corrects her and says “No, we’re making it snow”
She has watched their flight paths and taken rain samples before and after. I can’t site what all has been found, but if her testing is legit, their flares are blasting heavy metals and other toxins into the atmosphere and the people they are doing it over are largely unaware and they would like to keep it that way. Which in my opinion, is not cool
