Chinese scientists create second artificial snowstorm in Beijing
CHINESE scientists have artificially induced the second major snowstorm to wreak havoc in Beijing this season, state media said today, reigniting debate over the practice of tinkering with Mother Nature.
After the earliest snow to hit the capital in 22 years fell on November 1, the capital was again shrouded in white yesterday with more snow expected in the coming three days, the National Meteorological Centre said.
The China Daily, citing an unnamed official, said the Beijing Weather Modification Office had artificially induced both storms by seeding clouds with chemicals, a practice that can increase precipitation by up to 20 per cent.
The office refused to comment on the report when contacted by AFP.
Yesterday, an official had said the storm was "natural".

This has to upset the balance somewhere and at some point in time... I don't know when... it will happen...
