Prohibit "weather modification".

So are they banning Sharpies?

Worse: Weather modification, though possible, just doesn't really work. People gave up on that back in the day.

Cloud seeding certainly does work and is used in many places to promote rainfall or redirect hail or rainfall to protect crops.

Cloud seeding certainly does work

Does it?
Last I heard, the effectiveness is rather disputed.

I would not call that a consensus on "it does work".
