Steering Hurricanes with Carbon Black Dust

William Gray and company describe the use of carbon black dust (CBD) dispersed by aircraft to alter weather and create cirrus clouds.

It may also be possible to use carbon dust to enhance precipitation over interior land areas, alter extratropical cyclones, inhibit daytime summer temperatures and severe weather, prevent frosts, and speed up springtime snowmelt in agriculturally marginal regions. [1]
