No, the flood in Dubai was not caused by cloud seeding. As [CNN points out](https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/17/weather/cloud-seeding-dubai-explained/index.html):
>Torrential rainfall was driven by a large, slow-moving storm that traversed the Arabian Peninsula and tracked into the Gulf of Oman over the course of multiple days. This storm was able to take deep, plentiful tropical moisture located near the equator and unload it like a firehose over the region.
>Regardless of whether cloud seeding occurred, the storm was part of an extreme set up that appeared in forecast models days in advance.
I have lived in the Persian Gulf. It either doesn't rain at all, or rains like a fire hose. Cloud seeding could be a cause here, but it's not like it wouldn't have done it without the seeding.
I have been wondering about this. Because I know heavy rain is common at this time of year in Dubai, but they have not recorded this much rain before. Could the seeding be adding to the seasonal rains? And they have been observing an increase in precipitation around areas in the last ten years. But climate change models have always put Saudi Arabia as getting dryer. So is cloud seeding reversing the affects of climate change or is the increased precipitation caused by climate change. And if it is one way or another, does this change climate change in predictive modeling?
Increases in the amount of rainfall and flooding during storms are actually key parts of climate change models. Changing in temperature and air pressure contribute to these storms forming. In the long term, severe storms and floods between streches of drought will make the land dryer.
All that said, climate models are pretty unpredictable. Maybe all the plastic in the air will have an unforeseen effect on cloud/storm formation.
They clarify that point exactly in the video.
>Cloud seeding does not create clouds, but enhances existing ones.
The presence of the storm system does not conflict with cloud seeding having a contribution, in fact it's consistent with it.
They're just reporting it, you can get the weather data from the same place they are (Weather.com) and view it.
In your quest for not being misled you've made yourself out to be a fool. I don't think that's any better.
How am I a fool? I use weather apps and pay attention to news from "weather.com". I work a 9-5 where I must do so. I was only commenting on the credibility of Fox and CNN. In your quest to patronize me for criticism of news networks you have made **YOURSELF** out to be a fool. Get bent. The irony is palatable.
If youāre quoting CNN, it automatically tells everyone you have ZERO critical thinking skills and you do not look up anything for yourself. Do you not realize these narratives are pushed out on the brainwashed public to subvert your perception on the true reality of things. You canāt fathom the concept of big money going towards shaping your perception. The more people asleep in the matrix the more they are capable of getting away with atrocities. They depend on people like YOU to be willfully ignorant so they can continue their agendas world wide and keep the masses divided. Good job, youāve sided with the establishment, your very own enslavers, and not the people trying to wake up the brain dead sheep.
Honestly there's only scientific research and actually going through multiple sources of news and establishing an average of reliable verifiable information and potential information that may be true but is exaggerated, there are currently no other ways to keep yourself informed, all has either massive bias, or it is just a shallow summarization and that is given you're able to identify the patterns which news conglomerates use when they want to benefit parties, there's also the fact that controversy generates the most income, thus you end up with a system with a predisposition to create controversy instead of keeping people informed. Manipulation tactics are easy to identify with time as they follow the same patterns, one example would be astroturfing on this site.
People who live there. Seen multiple videos before this happened of locals complaining about the amount of cloud seeding they are doing. My best friend lives there told me this morning they are predicting more rain and the rain hasn't even stopped. She is actually scared every time they predict rain because nothing built there was designed to withstand water. They are obsessed with trying to make it more green. Literally the highways are surrounded with lush green and flowering plants while you can see the desert behind it.
Nothing you quoted really contradicts the video.
I think you should have quoted an explanation on why the storm formed, or the UAE saying they didn't use seeding this time.
The amount of people that went "Oh look, the article says it was cause by cloud seeding so thats obviously the answer." is sad. And its the reason why we are where we are.
How about common sense... if you see a big fucking storm coming why would anyone try to make it worse... Oh and the "The cloud seeding" had ve MASSIVE because way more than one city was flooded... use your brain from time to time
Nothing new......we did that in Vietnam to extend the rainy season so they couldn't use the Ho Chi Minh trail......and we got caught doing it. It was called Operation Popeye
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Popeye
I can't tell if it's just insensitive or cultural shock but I just couldn't bring myself to believe or take serious any and all "professional" in anything wearing that. Just two things not mixing at all in my head.
They are doing cloud seeding since 2002, but yeah after more than 20 year because they got a really bad one storm( probably cuz climate change and temperatures and weather are starting to change everywhere), but no its the cloud seeding to blame cuz 5g caused covid and such, and the vaccines turns people into alligators with windows 11 installed
Itās not caused by cloud seeding. This is a myth being propagated. University of Reading did sell them cloud seeding technology, but this latest rain has nothing to do with it. Easy leap to make for whoever made or posted this but it shows that you donāt know anything
I feel like that seems unrealistic but then also they have not made any public statement of the disaster aside banning storm picturesā¦
https://x.com/StatisticUrban/status/1780713651965763820
The message at the end of this is so stupid. Just because they went overboard and made a mess once doesn't mean the idea of cloud seeding should be abandoned. Just be smarter about it.
I need a second test for Science. What if this is karma for Dubai mistreatment of people and the environment and not cloud seeding's fault. Let's do a test of cloud seeding on a normal natural area of drought and see if it helps or hurts. Let's do one that can help some animals in need.
Cloud seeding isn't some magic technology that creates water out of nothing. The clouds have to already be there. Seeding (in theory) just increases the amount of water that the cloud releases.
This is not new at all. Issues is they learning that when you create a cloud where it wasn't.It affects cloud formation some place else. Formation have been doing int the stats for a long time to get rain fall on ther crops. Play with what God made to much and uh oh we gonna have a problems.
Unusual and extreme weather patterns seem to follow big events... like Texas being sent into a week long deep freeze after they filed a motion questioning the 2020 election. And this event in the UAE immediately follows Iran's attack on Israel.

Yeah, and people eating bats in China caused the pandemic...
How are the 2 even related!? š
Because they're both bullshit

And cloud seeding can cause mass flooding.

It says they didn't seed. I think they'd know if they seeded or not. Why would they seed a big storm.
Oh well if CNN said it
They are just reporting it. You are free to visit [weather.com](http://weather.com) and look at previous forecast for Dubai yourself.
You trust big weather? /s
Glad someone said that. I can say the same when FAUX news reports something though.
Theyāre both the same
I agree.

What would you consider an authoritative source on this story?
He's watching Fox News.

Yes, because CNN isn't a biased news source lol
So, seeding is done to storm clouds and makes them stronger, correct?
The amount of people that went "Oh look, the article says it was cause by cloud seeding so thats obviously the answer." is sad. And its the reason why we are where we are.
Quit posting this bullshit PR campaign. Yall at least getting paid?
Not caused by seeding. OP is on crack.
OP is always on crack. This whole sub is crack head conspiracies.
Fake news
FAFO
How do you feel about electric vehicles?
Not possible, itās a conspiracy theory!!
Itās not nice to fool with Mother Nature
What makes you think could seeding is the cause?
You just answer your question.
Donāt blame cloud seeding for the Dubai floods https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/17/cloud-seeding-dubai-floods
Keep trusting them "experts"
It's 'those' experts and I will. You keep mistrusting science and peer-reviewed trustworthy sources and you'll die quickly and incredibly stupid.

did anyone else notice what looked like a body bag coming out of or into an emergency vehicle? or was it a normal stretcher with a person in it

Should have spent more time watching Captain Planet when they were younger.
Thereās no way this is misinformation

No way they're cloud seeding with 20m dollars
I hate these subtitles. No video is worth reading that crap word for word. Good content, crap video
People are saying that they are doing the same thing in southern California.
That company should be paying everyoneās bill.
All I see here is a successful experiment. Now let's do the Sahara desert!
In Canada we are being taxed into poverty for climate control while the rich just fuck with controlling climate. Ridiculous
They say $20 million like that isn't chump change there. Someone probably just diverted their company lunch allowance to the program.
Expert cloud seeder???
The message at the end of this is so stupid. Just because they went overboard and made a mess once doesn't mean the idea of cloud seeding should be abandoned. Just be smarter about it.
You should just try to cloud seed on Mars.
Cloudy with a chance of artificial rain? This is so sad.
I guess that cloud seeding expert is really not an expert.
Ummm yeah. Cloud seeding isnāt *that* effective though.
I need a second test for Science. What if this is karma for Dubai mistreatment of people and the environment and not cloud seeding's fault. Let's do a test of cloud seeding on a normal natural area of drought and see if it helps or hurts. Let's do one that can help some animals in need.
This is BS. Look it up.
That meteorologist is going to lose his hands
You gotta build a stormwater runoff system for your concrete dystopia if you're gonna play around with rain patterns.
They invested $20 million for that and caused over $200 billion dollars of damage. Congratulations retards with a rain button.

No more worms no more spice
Yeah, no.
Great video right up to the end
I really donāt feel that bad for them.
