But how controllable the weather can be is still in doubt, and the consequences of meddling with nature at this level are yet to be seen.

You don't say...

Water falling in one place means it doesn't fall elsewhere. Some of that might be over the sea and OK, but some may be miles away over other farming land.

And does it produce as much water as a desalination plant anyway?

 

[Roberto Lequeux]

all I know is that Mayans said we only got one year to live anyway, and they were a murderous bunch that we should set our clocks by :conehead:

 

[Stephen Matthews]

no we have one more year till the birth of a new one...... though it will have some birth pangs I'm willing to try an ride it out as long as I have my scarlet to shoot it on.

 

[Petr Dvorak]

no, nobody know exactly which year they mean, they used 3 calendars and we dont know which year of their absolute one is now. We nearly don't know which year of our calendar is now, thanks to some popes I dont know if this coincidence with this case but there also wasn't any year "zero", only -1 and +1
numerologs count, count ... )

One painter is saying there is no time, its simpy invention of tax office and goverment to sue you

 

[Stephen Matthews]

all I know is that I don't even have time for time..... I do, I really do, far to much in fact

If I worked on this project I could not help myself for singing over and over "I'll make it rain on em, make it rain, I'll make it rain" needless to say I would not last long there.

Are we looking into the future when reach nations would steel air moisture from the less reach nations!

11M is 1/1000th of 11B.

 

[Jeremy Torrie]

We're already in a new age my friends...according to a notable Medicine Man in my parts the Longest Night (winter solstice) coinciding with the lunar eclipse was quite significant for my people. And that the moon itself was blood red (while scientifically explainable) was also significant.

And certainly everything in this world must be in balance. If it isn't Mother Earth will fix it on her own, as I believe we're experiencing.

11M is 1/1000th of 11B.

Where was the 11 billion figure from?

 

[Hrvoje Simic]

Pick a place.

In this case from the second premise.
