That was a great article on cloud seeding (“Weather or not,” Sept. 29) by Kathy Johnston. That is what I call news journalism. It brings up some very interesting questions also, like is Santa Barbara coordinating with the national seeding program? Because sometimes we could be getting double, triple doses of the seeding effect, and that might add up to too much of a good thing in terms of floods, etc. Also, it seems to be about time to do a study and find out if it actually works—otherwise, that is just money down the drain.
