THE CLOUD SEEDING CONSPIRACY THEORY THREAD

What is cloud seeding?

How does it work? Is it safe?

Is it chemtrails? Are chemtrails real?

Here’s the deal folks:
1/ What is cloud seeding?

Cloud seeding locally and temporarily enhances precipitation

Dispersing certain minerals into clouds with favorable conditions, condenses or freezes small, naturally occurring water droplets into drops or snowflakes big enough to precipitate

🧼✈️☁️CLEANING CLOUDS🧼✈️☁️

Air pollution kills millions of people annually, and it's gross

People need clean air

Nations around the world are beginning to give clean air to back to their people w cloud seeding

Here’s why it's needed, how it works, and where its happening🧵 Small particles in the air cause asthma, bronchitis, and cancer

Particles <2.5µm, which are emitted from vehicles and industrial processes, can penetrate dangerously deep into the lung

~12 μg per m^3 is a safe concentration of 2.5µm
Delhi is >800

How many nuclear bombs would it take to build a mountain in Kansas?

When people discuss terraforming or geoengineering, they're usually referring to atmospheric interventions – but what would it take to create new earthen formations?

Can we engineer geography?

1/11 I'm not the first to think of terraforming w nukes

In the 60s the United States had Project Plowshare: an initiative to investigate using nuclear explosives for construction purposes

There was a proposal to build a new deep water harbor in Alaska with 5 hydrogen bombs

GPT4 is bringing clean water to East Palestine, Ohio

Manually managing the logistics of installing 1,900 water filters is extremely labor intensive

Here's how GPT is expediting the process and helping manage priorities

Pictured: GenAI image of @sama holding a water filter

1/6 The first constraint is time

1 plumber can install a filter in 45 min

If he has to drive 45 min between installations, he can install 6 filters in a 10hr workday

But, if his route takes him only 5 min between locations, he can install 12/day

That will save weeks of time

You heard about the train derailment and chemical spill in East Palestine, Ohio

The local water table is wrecked, despite what the EPA and authorities have said

They’re committing a lie by omission

Thankfully, we can fix this

Here’s how

1/ Multiple endocrine disruptors and genotoxins were released

Vinyl chloride breaks down chromosomes

Butyl acrylate causes nerve damage and miscarriages

The polluted area is large enough that acute exposure (immediate illness) is unlikely

But chronic exposure is guaranteed

Californian aquifers are being drawn down

There are three varieties of “solutions” to groundwater depletion

They are, for the most part, silly

1/12 “Solution” 1: Reduce groundwater consumption

The glue-eater’s solution

41-58% of the state’s supply is from groundwater

85% of utilities rely primarily on groundwater

Said utilities don’t have an alternative to replace groundwater. We just tell all them to kick rocks?

Los Angeles’ water infrastructure is from the 22nd century

Want to take a peek at how it works?

Here are some of the highlights

1/9 Los Angeles City Sanitation (LASAN) operates the HYPERION WATER RECLAMATION PLANT

This behemoth has the capacity to treat 450MM gallons of wastewater daily

It is the biggest sewage treatment facility west of the Mississippi

How does the $550 BILLION Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021 affect
WATER IN AMERICA?

I ~skimmed~ the 1039 page act so you don’t have to.

Here are the highlights:
1/ 🥤💦DRINKING WATER AUTHORIZATION🥤💦

For openers, $16.6B was authorized for drinking water projects.

$50MM of this is dedicated to grants for technologies that address cybersecurity and monitoring at drinking water systems. What company provides easy groundwater monitoring👀
