This was an experiment which aimed to test the hypothesis that cloud seeding with silver iodide could suppress hail by creating an excess
of nucleating embryos that would compete for the available cloud water (and thus keep all the hydrometeors smaller)-- more precipitation, in fewer big «globs» of hail.

of water or flake
of snow.

And this is why CERN is necessary - because it carries a bit more weight in scientific matters - and they are working to understand the unknown mechanisms
of how 10 micron particles
nucleate from smaller particles (and
nucleate from smaller particles they obviously do, how much cosmic rays affect that is unknown).
If sulfate aerosols
nucleate cloud drops, resulting in a greater number
of smaller droplets rather than a few large ones, this will further increase scattering and cooling.
In addition, many non-sulfur-based biogenic materials
of the terrestrial environment play major roles as water - and ice -
nucleating aerosols; and the airborne presence
of these materials should also be enhanced by rising levels
of atmospheric CO2.
Suppose the polywater scare had happened now, perhaps we would have had an IPPC set up to make recommendations as to how to avoid a possible catastrophe involving a small quantity
of polywater entering the sea and
nucleating the rest
of it to convert to polywater — like a wet windscreen on a cold winter's day.
When moisture laden storms are saturated with artificial / chemical ice
nucleating elements (due to the destructive attempt by the climate engineers to temporarily cool - down ground temperatures on the ground), storms that would have been a deluge
of rain become unprecedented onslaughts
of frozen precipitation.
Well, to make it work, the mechanism needs clean air (which you always had over at least parts
of the oceans) and
nucleating aerosols (e.g., as you get from DMS, which is primarily formed by phytoplankton which exists for a loooooong while), so yes, it is reasonable that the mechanism has been operational, though quantitatively it may have changed somewhat.
Increased biomass can lead to increased emissions
of biogases such as dimethyl sulfide and isoprene, which when oxidized in the atmospheric form sulphate and organic aerosols that can

In a process called cloud seeding, silver iodide, with effective ice -

of less than − 4 °C, has been used for years in attempts to convert supercooled water to ice crystals in regions with a scarcity
of natural ice nuclei.
I, like you, am very skeptical
of any attempt to remove some particular «natural signal» from a coupled nonlinear chaotic system with gazillions
of feedbacks known and unknown and (mostly) transient, fluctuations that happened to
nucleate at some particular point and grow.
'' The freezing / melting point
of pure water is 0C» Sorry if someone else has already raised this point, but when I lived in Alberta it was repeatedly inculcated that without a
nucleating agent, pure water did not freeze until about -39 C. Maybe this is only
of biological importance (0C melting point is ok), but I think you need to be more precise.
We can barely predict in the roughest
of terms how many
of the waves are likely to
nucleate into storms (not all
of which start off
of Africa — sometimes they
nucleate in the Gulf
of Mexico, sometimes in the Caribbean, sometimes in the middle
of the Atlantic), and the distribution
of energy among those storms.
