Manipulation Weather

This practice of cloud seeding is not new. I hope they also examine the changes in the micro climate caused by large cities. CIties have a much larger thermal mass with the concrete and albedo of asphalt. It has been noticed that this will change the local temperature and effect the paths of storms and weather. I think we are still far away from the weather manipulating machine as depicted in the Avengers Movie.
