    Well, more weather hacking than climate hacking.

    What I don't get is why quasi/pseudo/vaguely/ex-communist nations seem so enamored of the idea that these techniques actually work reliably. Cloud seeding is nothing new, but it's been pretty much abandoned everywhere else, due to mediocre results.

    "and the whole project is considerably less expensive than the current cost of clearing Moscow's streets."

    that... is honestly rather suprising. i can't imagine how this might backfire in the comming spring with record snow melts. the potential for flash flooding must be enormous. #climatehacking

    Cloud seeding is nothing new, but this does have such an eerie feel to it. I find it surprising that this will be more cost effective than snow removal. I wonder how many planes have to dump how many tons of cement and dry ice into the sky to prevent each winter storm. #climatehacking

    If you want super-villain plot, how about "The silver iodide accidentally contaminates the food and ground water with a colloidal silver suspension which ultimately turns everyone in Moscow blue." Insert evil laughter... now. #climatehacking
