Media report that the Chinese government will use new military weather-altering technology and plans to build tens of thousands of combustion chambers on Tibetan mountainsides. These will burn a solid fuel that causes a spray of silver iodide to billow towards the sky. Sprayed from planes, the particles will cause water vapor to condense, forming clouds that bring rain. Your old mate has no idea what our surrogate Russian ambassador and deputy PM Winston Peters will think about this, but he’ll probably now accuse the Chinese of taking not only our jobs, farmland and meat companies but our rain as well.
