We are at least a decade away from even starting such trials. Addiction is a side effect of the positive evolutionary pressures to respond to pleasurable stimuli by seeking repeat stimulation. Alcoholics Anonymous is one form of therapy that...
...happening in Queensland's clouds before, during and after materials like silver iodide and salt are sprayed into them from planes. Working in tandem with other ground radars and forecasting equipment, the technology will be able to do a three-dimensional reading of the atmosphere - similar to a body scan. Not only will this mean better information about when conditions are right to send the seeding planes, but it will enable scientists to "watch" how the water and ice particles in the cloud are affected by the chemical. "This has not been done in any program anywhere in the world...
