In addition to particulate nucleation sites, which help precipitation, combustion also creates new H2O vapor by consuming oxygen and freeing hydrogen from its carbon bond in fuel. While most may view this image as a simple CO2 equation, that’s not weather modification; it’s climate modification.
In an off-grid mountain community in the southern Sierra, a lifelong resident said in the pub that it used to rain every afternoon in the summer when he was young. Compared to now where it rains about every 10 days. By my estimate that was about the time smog was at its worst in the state, a time of 10mpg and muscle cars. I wonder if his memory was already an altered condition from natural.
