The suggested community note is in direct opposition to reporting from Harpers Bazaar, Bloomberg and Grazia who all have reported on cloud seeding resulting in additional flooding. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-04-16/dubai-grinds-to-standstill-as-cloud-seeding-worsens-flooding https://www.harpersbazaararabia.com/hbanews/cloud-seeding-in-the-uae https://graziamagazine.com/me/articles/cloud-seeding-uae/ https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2024/03/18/united-arab-emirates-is-using-cloud-seeding-tech-to-make-it-rain.html https://timesofoman.com/article/136179-cloud-seeding-boosts-rainfall-in-oman-by-15-18 https://www.arabianbusiness.com/culture-society/cloud-seeding-in-saudi-arabia-5-new-planes-to-create-rain-in-kingdom
