  1. It’s too late, the narrative is already out there. That’s why platforms like this spread misinformation like wildfire.

  2. Well if theres one place that needs that much water… its a city in the middle of a desert that has an endless supply of money to fix infrastructure issues.

    If you’re gonna tell me this is because of global warming. This is like a win.

  3. don’t you go around with your “facts” and “evidence”

  4. I blame the rain.And the lack of drainage. I mean it could be cloud seeding, it could be some secret weather modification weapon, or aliens or the vagaries of time travel. But probably it was the rain and the drainage problems.

  6. Time to start digging some storm drains? Or it won’t happen again like this for 20 years. Wait and see as more information comes in.

  7. If you blame cloud seeding then insurance can’t be like act of god. Smart

  8. i’ve already made up my mind, don’t confuse me with facts now

  11. Everything I don’t like or agree with is misinformation

    Every climate event is climate change

    Everyone who disagrees with me is on the wrong side of history

    Yawn.

  12. well if they didnt cloud seed right before a storm I think wouldnt be that bad so I still think the seeding is partly at fault

  13. Caused by cloud seeding, no. Impacted by its past usage? Impossible to say with any confidence

    Climates are unstable systems where small changes can have large effects and it’s a system that we struggle to predict accurately in the short term

    I wouldn’t be surprised if the knock on effects of repeated clouds seeding could cause upsets like this. For example, raining cools the air. If you cause it to rain significantly more than usual you are decreasing the average temperature of the area which in turn can impact air circulation which then impacts rainfall patterns

    This isn’t to say I’m convinced this was the cause, freak weather does happen. I’m just hesitant to accept any black and white answer to this without further research into cloud seeding and its long term effects. While it’s been used for decades, we still don’t know that much about its overall effects and long term impacts

  14. Lack of drainage and concrete and asphalt everywhere. Back to the drawing board lol.

  15. > Don’t blame cloud seeding for the Dubai floods

    That’s what cloud seeder would say!

  17. What would be the purpose of cloud seeding? And why would the government be involved in that?

  18. Looks like all the money in the world couldn’t fix a flood.

    Fuck em. Keep building massive cities in the middle of the desert.

  19. Hold up. Is that article saying,

    “Yes, ‘chem trails’ have been real the whole time, and we are actually putting things into the air on purpose even tho we’ve always told you that you’re a bunch of loony conspiracy theorists because the idea sounds preposterous.”

    ?

  24. Ummm so you mess with whether and you can’t blame your messing around for the find out part?

  25. I thought the main problem was a lack of infrastructure planning for a proper sewer network?

  26. I thought the carbon tax in Canada was supposed to fix climate change. Unbelievable. They lied to us

  28. OK I won’t. Thanks for telling me what to think.

  31. >Did cloud seeding cause the heavy rain?

    >In short, scientists say no.

    >In a statement issued to [multiple](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/17/dubai-floods-uae-rainfall-weather-forecast) news [outlets](https://www.thenationalnews.com/news/uae/2024/04/17/cloud-seeding-uae-rain-weather/), the NCM, which oversees cloud-seeding operations in the UAE, said there were no such cloud-seeding operations before or during the storm.

    >Omar Al Yazeedi, the deputy director general of the NCM, said: “We did not engage in any seeding operations during this particular weather event. The essence of cloud seeding lies in targeting clouds at an earlier stage, prior to precipitation. Engaging in seeding activities during a severe thunderstorm scenario would prove futile.”

    >Experts, meanwhile, have debunked the cloud-seeding theory. Maarten Ambaum, a professor of atmospheric physics and dynamics at the University of Reading, [said](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/17/dubai-floods-uae-rainfall-weather-forecast) that “cloud seeding, certainly in the Emirates, is used for clouds that don’t normally produce rain … You would not normally develop a very severe storm out of that.”Did cloud seeding cause the heavy rain?In short, scientists say no.

  32. Rain is a good thing if you have actual soil and other forms of drainage.

  36. I mean I wasn’t going to but this headline makes me feel like I should.

  38. We broke the jet stream, climate change doesn’t care about your politics . More disturbing weather to come .

  39. Why not? Worked like a charm. What can cloud seeding do for you?

  42. Seriously, this happens all the time. It’s just cause social media exists now

  44. Dubai is a fucking failure propped up by the wealthy.

  45. ya right, flooding always naturally happens in the desert all the time…..

    Nothing to do with weather manipulation (a.k.a “climate change”)

  46. It’s almost like the climate is changing all over the world, but we all know that’s not a real thing. /s

  48. You know for a desert with porous sand I imagined that they would have better drainage but they probably overlooked the possibility of flooding

  49. Well, of course they’re going say it wasn’t due to cloud seeding. And fossil fuels don’t cause global warming. Yeah, right …
