There are no "global cloud seeding" projects. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2023/02/28/fact-check-false-claim-geoengineering-behind-climate-chan

  That's a very shallow view and understanding, no? You don't think weather patterns could shift? It's not black-and-white as "clouds = more rain" - as there's obviously the question of distribution. Likewise, water vapour in the atmosphere traps more heat - warming the planet; locally of course where there's cloud cover, at least initially, it will be cooler.

  Water is, mostly, only added to the atmosphere by evaporation. This is mostly solar, but can include indirect solar (wind) and industrial processes. Rain 'seeding' can be thought of as offering water already in the atmosphere an excuse to form rain and drop out of the atmosphere. It's about controlling where it rains rather than if it rains.
