Cloud-Seeding Cited Drawing a parallel with Dr. Irving Langmuir's cloud-seeding experiments, some meteorolo gists have conceded that chain reactions set off by the cloud seeding could influence the for mation of severe storms not just locally, but long distances away! And if sowing ice-crystals 'or ice-like silver iodide) can do this . . .? He goes on to say: "Just what sets up storms is not precisely known . . . but many scientist' are convinced that only a subtle variant is necessary to generate the first breath of a hurricane's life . . . "In the prevailing condition of our ignorance." he sums up. "categorical pronouncements are not in nrdcr. Even if the chances of nuclear bomb effects on the weather are extremely small, the human and economic stakes are high enough to merit a seri ous and mature consideration . . . What happens to the weather will affect everyone on earth." (Next Friday. .Ian. 4. we'll dis cuss what weathermen believe the influence of the H-bomb has upon our weather. EB.)
