In the aftermath of the catastrophic flash flooding in Central Texas, false claims have spread online blaming the disaster on a decades-old weather modification technique called cloud seeding.
Posts suggesting a connection between the deadly floods and a small cloud seeding operation that was carried out in the region days earlier have been shared widely on social media, amassing millions of views.
Rainmaker Technology, a California-based company, confirmed it conducted a cloud seeding operation in the region on July 2. However, meteorologists say the operation had no connection to the flash floods that struck two days later.
Experts told CBS News that cloud seeding, a process that involves dispersing substances like silver iodide into clouds to encourage rainfall, is not powerful enough to have caused or contributed to the flooding. The deluge resulted from heavy rainfall when storms converged with the remnants of Tropical Storm Barry.

I'm not sure that experts and CBS News have much credibility left. Also not sure why the fuck private companies are cloud seeding when they then claim that its only one cloud and it didn't work anyway. Not saying it caused it just skeptical about the whole process.
These folks now want to try to cool the earth. Fuck off on that
The liability for all those dead kids would make anyone lie their ass off or pay off whoever they had to. Just saying its not insane to look closer at it
