Why or why can’t we use cloud seeding to fight forest fires?

949 views

I recently learned that making man made clouds are a real thing that have been used to stave off droughts and that parts of China have been regularly using this tech. If so, can we use it to fight forest fires like the fires that have been so devastating in Australia? If not, why?

” making man made clouds are a real thing ”

It’s not. Cloud seeding consists of sending certain stuff into the clouds that raindrops can coalesce around and so there’s a much higher chance it will start raining from those clouds. If there are no clouds overhead there’s not enough water overhead to make it rain.
