I don't agree; science can't fundamentally change weather patterns (yet) but humans can and do modify our environment - it's part of what defines us as human. Inducing rain or snow at certain times and in certain places would be no different than diverting rivers for irrigation. In my opinion, of course.

Yeah, that's what I figured - I was about 10 when I first heard about this.
