According to the BBC news, Rain and snow bring relief to northern China’s severe drought by Matt Taylor, from the 22nd of Feb. 2009, I've noticed that the fact of climate change in the world is not only because of the Global Warming. It may also be effected by some artificial impacts as well.

'Last week’s snow and rainfall is being partly attributed to the recent cloud-seeding, which has been the government’s response to the drought situation. Cloud-seeding is a method of artificially enhancing precipitation by firing rain-producing molecules into clouds.'-- Rain and snow bring relief to northern China’s severe drought by Matt Taylor, BBC Weather

The wet season in China usually occurs in between May and September, and the weather is often very dry in the winter. However, the Chinese government used this method, the cloud-seeing, to create precipitation, in order to help alleviating the drought in northern China. But, nevertheless, even though the cloud-seeing has successfully alleviated the drought, isn't it going to harm the environment on another aspect? I'm pretty sure that it will, somehow. Yet, it's only a thought of mine. :]
