Cloud Seeding has always been one of those pseudo-sciences, despite the claims of the Chinese during the Olympics.

But a new study has proposed that we may have been overlooking a critical aspect of rain making in our previous seeding endeavors: rain making bacteria.

A scientist from Louisiana State University has detected a certain type of bacteria that he claims is present in snow all over the world, and he’s thinking that it gets there from the clouds. He’s also thinking that the bacteria is part of the rain making process.

I sure hope so. Because, as you may or may not know, we’re in the 14th year of drought around here…
