"There are some potential downsides that we don't think about too much," Robert Jackson, Stanford University's Earth Sciences Chair said in a 2017 interview on The Current. "One issue is where the rain would have fallen if you hadn't cloud seeded. Does a cloud seeding event in Alberta keep a farmer in Saskatchewan from getting rain that he or she might have received?"

Could they just be making it rain in the ocean and not over land?

If we were in some kind of unusual drought condition, I might wonder about the Russians and Chinese using cloud seeding. But we're not. There is nothing out of the ordinary in the weather we are seeing over the past few years.
