Cloud Seeding = More Snow, But Is It Worth Doing In The Long Run?

according toTerry Krauss, a meteorologist at Alberta Severe Weather Management Society.

One example is from the resort everyone loves to hate, Vail.

For the past 40 years, Vail Resorts have employed cloud seeding tactics to increase snowfall.

The real question is though; what are the effects on the environment/humans/critters that live on the mountain?

Naturally occuring silver iodide in snowfall typically measures out to about 1-2 ppt(parts per trillion).

After a cloud seeding, levels of silver iodide range from 4 to 20 ppt.

What do you think?
