Meteorological Society of New Zealand

 Auckland Branch Meeting

 

Wednesday, April 14^th, 5:30 pm

 

 

 

 

 

This talk considers the science of weather modification from a sociological perspective. Particular emphasis will be placed on explaining weather modification's shifting scientific status and public opposition to such programmes. Far from being an interesting aside in meteorological history, weather modification lurks perpetually on the policy horizon. It will be argued that current practices of weather modification are a waste of time and money, they postpone pressing decisions regarding water allocation and conservation, and annoy a lot of people in the process.
