The reading and the lecture are both about the effectiveness of "cloud seeding" to prevent hail. The author of the reading feels
that cloud seeding's use of chemical silver effectively reduces or stops hails. The lecturer challenges the calim made by the
author. She is of the opinion that the reasonings in support of the author's claim are faulty.
To begin with, the author argues that laboratory tests results are in favor of cloud seeding success. The article mentions that
cold water, when added with silver iodide, becomes harmless light snow. This specific argument is challenged by the lecturer.
She points out that these result will just be produced in the laboratory but not in real natural conditions. Additionally, she states
the silver iodide actually reduces not only ice but also water and snow. It results in drought that harms the growth of plants and
crops.
Secondly, the writer suggests that the results in Asia help understand the effectiveness of cloud seeding. In the article, it is
stated that cloud seeding is productive in controling precipitation in city areas of Asia. The lecturer, however, refutes this by
mentioning city pollution plays a vital role in cloud seeding's success in Asia, so the USA will not be affected by the procedure
much. She elaborates on this by bringing up the point that most of USA's crops are grown in urban areas where pollutions are
limited.
Finally, the author posits that lecal studies also suggest that cloud seeding will be successful. Moreover, in the article it is
demonstrated that a farming region faced less damage after using cloud seeding. In contrast, the lecturer's position is that those
good results were produced by nature itself. She notes that, the surrounding areas of east, south, and north, where cloud seeding
was not used, also faced less damage on that particular time. So cloud seeding doesn't produced the success, instead nature did.
