I was hoping to see some kind of answer to at least one of my questions. The cloud seeding question was answered when I heard something on the local news about a week after I asked it. Apparently, they DID cloud seed in my area like they used to do in the 60's. I don't know what led me to ask about it before learning this. Maybe I'm psychic. As for wondering why we are dealing with these unseasonable high pressure ridges every year which are feeding the drought over SoCal, I am convinced you don't know why this is happening. Every question asked on here about it is ignored. I have tried to do my own research on it but have come up empty. Is there even a theory? Can it be attributed to global warming some way? Is it hot air from the candidates? Please comment.
