摘要:

The Final Report contains only two assertative conclusions: A(1) that commercial cloud seeding in mountainous areas produced 10–15 per cent increase in precipitation, and A(3) that no seeding project meant to increase precipitation was found in which the indicated effect of cloud seeding was negative. With reference to A(1) evidence is introduced showing that the apparent 10–15 per cent increase in precipitation is likely to be due to a combination of factors other than cloud seeding. Conclusion A(3) was found inconsistent with some of the Advisory Committee's own findings and with some other published results. Section 8 indicates that a Bayes decision rule whether to seed or not, published in Volume II of the Final Report as minimizing the risks, may well maximize these risks. Section 9 indicates a misrepresentation and a significant omission in Volume II of the Final Report.
