A handful of dudes in City Tavern and The Green Dragon caused the American Revolution. The Medici family and ~10 of their patronized artists caused the renaissance. Garibaldi conquered all of Italy with 1000 men. Bell Labs, a handful of dudes.

You should all know that we have a 4 year window to go as hard as fucking imaginable. Deadly serious. Leave it all on the court. It’s a miracle we have another shot at all. Press me to go harder, I will do the same with all of you. Alhamdulilah.

Dubai airport looks like one of the most advanced civilizations on earth. The Emirates are a sweltering, lifeless, desert. Almost uninhabitable, until now. They produced more rain than their ancestors would have ever prayed for. They’re bringing life to a deadened waste.
Dubai airport looks like an apocalyptic movie. Videos of the flooding are insane. I’ve seen some blaming climate change when the cause is actually from the use of weather modification. Cloud seeding where chemicals are sprayed in clouds to create rain caused this. We recently

Hey @NicoleShanahan ! I’m a patriot that cares about the environment, totally get your concerns. I run a cloud seeding company that makes clean safe water for farms in need. Would love to talk about cloud seeding and atmospheric engineering!
If you’re an environmentalist who cares about the Earth, you must ask: Who’s altering our atmosphere without our consent? We’re long past the days of calling it a conspiracy—geoengineering is real. Peter Kirby joins me to expose how our climate is being modified and manipulated.

@GovRonDeSantis @IleanaGarciaUSA Governor, the practice is CURRENTLY CODIFIED in Florida because it is a safe and effective way to produce water. Over 10M acres of your state are in drought and cloud seeding can help with that. This is not blocking out the sun, that’s SRM, totally different.

We gotta think bigger.
China uses anti-aircraft guns to seed clouds in dry and desert areas. Instead of firing conventional ammunition, these guns are loaded with chemical mixtures, primarily silver iodide, which are aimed at inducing rainfall from clouds.
