Summarize the points made in the lecture, being sure to explain how they respond to the specific points made in the reading passage.
The reading is mainly about how to reduce the effect of hail on farmlands and crops. The author of the reading believes that Cloud seeding is useful for the purpose and provides three explanations to prove it. However, the lecturer finds the explanation dubious and casts doubt on them. She states that the explanations are incorrect.
To begin with, the reading asserts that it has been tested in the laboratory adequately. When they added some silver iodide, the result was light snow instead of hail pellets. On the contrary, the lecturer brings up the point that it may have been effective in laboratory conditions. Nevertheless, it would prevent any precipitation. Besides, She claimes that there would be drought because it does not rain, and the crops would suffer from lack of water.
Furthermore, the reading states that it has been successful in some Asian countries; thus, it could be used in the United States. In contrast, the lecturer dismisses this issue due to the fact that cloud seeding works in urban areas in which the amount of pollution produced by cars and other vehicles is high. As a result, it does not appropriate for the unpolluted area in the United States.
Finally, the reading argues that some local studies have shown that the rate of hail damage on crops has decreased compared to prior years. Conversely, the lecturer underlines the fact that the reason of reducing hail in other places was not for using cloud seeding. There would be other explanation, such as variation in the weather, which was responsible for decreasing hail pellets.
