i'm curious what the long term effects of pulling water out of the atmosphere are. i suppose our grandchildren get to find out like we get to find out what happens when you deplete the water table.

I'm not immediately concerned about pulling water out of the atmosphere - naively you get dryer air, which should more readily take up water vapor later. Cloud seeding also happens naturally via certain bacteria and above rainforests for example.

I am concerned about dumping heaps of silver iodide into the atmosphere via a very artificial process - though China would probably view that as a minor addition to to their ground/air pollution cocktail.
