Cloud Seeding Is to Blame for California’s Storms and Flooding, According to The Latest Unproven Conspiracy Idea!
Cybersecdn– A pilot cloud-seeding program conducted by the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority (SAWPA) in California’s Inland Empire and parts of Orange County has inadvertently sparked a deluge of unfounded conspiracy theories. These theories gained momentum following two significant storms in February, with conspiracy-peddling accounts on social media falsely attributing the storms’ intensity to SAWPA’s cloud-seeding efforts.
Despite lacking any credible evidence, these conspiracy theories have led to a barrage of accusations and hostility directed towards SAWPA officials. Comments on social media platforms have ranged from accusatory to outright hostile, with individuals blaming the agency for causing floods, landslides, and even attempting to poison communities with cloud-seeding chemicals.
In response, SAWPA has vehemently denied these accusations, emphasizing that cloud seeding cannot create storms and pointing to numerous studies that attest to the safety and negligible environmental impact of the practice. However, misinformation continues to proliferate, fueled by associations with other debunked theories like chemtrails.
