Drones blast clouds with electrical charge to produce downpours

[Otto Harkaman]

I wonder what is going to happen when doing this becomes widespread?

Dubai makes its own RAIN to tackle 122F heat

The rain is formed using drone technology that gives clouds an electric shock to 'cajole them' into clumping together and producing precipitation.

What will happen, yopu ask? Well, its a physical system and moisture gets taken out of it, and that will casue consequences for that system. I cannot say what kind of consequences, but if somebody thinks they have invented a free ride there, then I seriously doubt it. Because moisture missing in that part of the system is a lack of something in that system that can no longer do what it would have done if it still were there.

Then there is the question of how nature tends to like a balance in all things: if you artificially create a condition in one area, will it also create a sort of "equal but opposite" reaction in another area? Weather is a continuing swirl of offsetting actions and, perhaps, willfully and arbitrarily 'modifying' those systems could be a real recipe for disaster; we are already seeing how the off-handed, casual disregard for the effects of human activity on climate has affected our environment; the lesson of the ozone layer should not be forgotten...

A useless (but interesting) fact: There are always two places which are exactly opposite from one another on Earth's surface [called "antipodes"] and which have the exact same temperature and atmospheric pressure.
