Chinese accused of stealing rainclouds (Take a break news :)
A STORM is brewing in China as drought-plagued regions accuse each other of stealing clouds for rain-seeding. With the help of modern technology, scientists can fire rockets filled with various substances into light, fluffy clouds to make them rain. "But the practice has caused considerable controversy in recent days, with some saying that one area's success with rain has meant taking moisture meant for one place and giving it to another," the China Daily said. The row was severe in central Henan province.Posted by: Mark Espinola 2004-07-17 |
