Can cloud seeding make the UAE's desert green?

A transformation is unfolding in the United Arab Emirates, where approximately 80% of the country’s land is desert.
The UAE has introduced measures to combat desertification by turning its arid landscapes green. Other countries like China have also adopted similar processes.
The Middle East is home to 12 of the 17 most “water-stressed” countries of the world, and the UAE receives less than 200 mm of rainfall a year.
Comparatively, the U.K. soaked up an average of 1,051 mm of rain in 2022, while Singapore was drenched in a whopping 3,012 mm during the same year.
Abdulla Al Mandous, director general at the UAE National Centre of Meteorology, says that the country has invested more than $20 million in cloud seeding research - a process designed to enhance rainfall.

@@solmanJapan Let's consider other countries. Like, if historically water ends up producing rain in one country or region, but on the way another country takes out those clouds, then water isn't reaching where it usually would. Of course, you just can't say what the impact might be without suitable models and historical data. But if we go the direction of engineering the weather, there's an even chance that it'd require coordination across counties. Similar to how one country blocking rivers that happen to pass through their territory can become a problem for where that water historically went.

@@solmanJapanAustralia and the UAE aren’t really comparable though are they? Australia is an enormous country and continent, with dozens of different climate and ecological zones. The UAE is a tiny country that is and always was, desert. UAE cloud seeding is forcing an unnatural occurrence for increased rainfall in the desert, when those clouds would have dropped the rain somewhere else completely different.

The trees are watered with desalinated seawater, which has a very detrimental environmental impact. The trees that are planted aren't drought resistant species either. Instead of laying artificial grass, huge water thirsty lawns are planted that require near constant irrigation in summer. Since cloudseeding started, the rain hasn't increased but the fog, which provides moisture for the survival of desert plants and wildlife, has deteriorated. There is too much interference. One can PR it as much as you want to. The system isn't optimal. For it to work effectively, wiser decisions need to be made

Except the countries who would historically have received that rainfall are now not going to, purely so the UAE has a nice attraction for tourism. Deserts themselves are a unique ecosystem, and given UAE and virtually all of the Arabian peninsula has been desert for thousands of years, this is essentially environmental terrorism. They’re destroying an ecosystem, they aren’t reversing desertification like the great green walls in China and across North Africa.

They are not following the SIMPLE principles of the water cycle: evaporation = condensation/clouds=rain Apply permaculture principles to slow and capture rain within the landscape so can then have enough subsoil water to support plants that TRANSPIRE, evaporate water from their leaves, which feeds into the natural water cycle. Also vital to increasing water efficiency, recycle 100% of used water as nature does, and include more green roofs and spaces to further the cycle while reducing the tendency of urban areas to elevate temperatures in a heat island effect.

Hmm? Whilst we need to replace the greenery we've destroyed, I wonder if undertaking the task in this way is best. Two thoughts: i) what are the unintended consequences (and there will be some) of cloud seeding? Where would the water have gone had it not been encouraged to consolidate into a cloud? ii) Is there any consideration of the albedo effect? My third thought - Why should I trust anything in this report when it appears to be in wholehearted support of nations which think nothing of building 'white elephants' (the Palm and 'World resorts), at great environmental cost (I don't just mean ecosystem disruption, there's also the fossil fuel energy expended) and the journalist at no point makes any challenging comment or counter argument. Rather, she appears to simply accept what she's told. We saw plenty of footage of plants in a nursery but little in the way of actual mature bushes and trees insitu. I also wondered why, given what is known about evaporation and temperature, were plants being watered during daylight hours?

Greening deserts is a great way to absorb CO2 and create oxygen, plus all the economic benefits you explained. Unluckily it is not a silver bullet, as it has also a negative effect: trees attract more sun energy (and thus heat) than deserts, as they are "darker" than sand. Scientific studies show how greening the entire Sahara would actually INCREASE global temperature.

“your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.” Turning deserts green certainly brings benefits to locals, but it may diminish the earth’s albedo, its ability to reflect light and heat. Therefore it might cause earth’s temperature to raise more, than the captured co2 would have. Geoengineering is a difficult task

It's only briefly mentioned near the end of the video but how much water do these greening initiatives require? The UAE is already one of the largest consumers of fresh water per capita in the world. While they do generate much of their fresh water through desalination, these plants require ALOT of energy to function. The waters surrounding the UAE are currently facing an issue of rising salinity levels due to the waste produced by the desalination plants.

What always amazed me is the Congo river of Africa which flows towards Atlantic ocean with massive flows capacity. If this river diverted towards Sahara Desert which is largest desert in world, you can imagine trillions of trees will be planted, so the whole world will benefit that co2 level will drop!
