If China gets a little overzealous with their cloud seeding/anti-rain efforts, do you think this could upset the weather pattern on a global scale?

Good luck China, thats all I gotta say, you can't control it forever.

I doubt I will have any effect in China let alone the world.

The only truly successful, day-ruining seeding I've ever seen was done by other storms, not by men. Only Nature can screw with Nature. Man is a joke.

Cloud seeding HAS worked in China, just as it has (and still does) in the US. But certainly won't impact things globally, just rearranges the moisture to come down somewhere else.

But to deny that 'man' can influence local weather would be ignoring the science.

While I understand what scott was trying to say, what he ended up saying and what you quoted actually is true. He will have no influence on the weather in China.
