China fact of the day
When next summer's Olympics roll around, the Beijing Weather Modification Office will be poised to intercept incoming clouds, draining them before they get to the festivities. No fewer than 32,000 people nationwide are employed by the Weather Modification Office -- "some of them farmers, who are paid $100 a month to handle anti-aircraft guns and rocket launchers" loaded with cloud-seeding compounds.
Here is the story.

Another China fact of the day (via FT):
“The increase in China’s energy demand between 2002 and 2005 was equivalent to Japan’s current annual energy use.”

Technology and capabilities such as this has great potential. For both good and bad. While everyone enjoys playing God, there are limits. Currently the Southeastern US is experiencing a severe drought, and the ability to generate rain out of typical clouds could help to save Atlanta and the Southern Appalachian mountains, which haven't seen significant rain since July. Already there is a town in east Tennessee where they have run out of water, and must live for 3 hours a day off of the water that gets trucked in 3 days a week. If northern Georgia and Atlanta do not receive significant rain very soon, then its main source: Lake Lanier will be completely depleted.
