On June 28, 2025, discussions emerged regarding Bill Gates’ involvement in cloud seeding research, a technique aimed at enhancing precipitation through atmospheric intervention. Posts found on X indicate that Gates, through the Gates Foundation, has reportedly backed a high-altitude experiment involving the release of aerosols to influence weather patterns, with an estimated investment exceeding $10 million over the past three years. The project, conducted in collaboration with a consortium of scientists, involves deploying small aircraft to disperse particles at altitudes above 60,000 feet, with initial tests reported in the southwestern United States. The initiative aims to study the feasibility of weather modification, with data suggesting a potential increase in rainfall by up to 15% in targeted arid regions during trial periods. No official statements from Gates or the Foundation confirm these specifics, but the project has drawn attention for its scale, involving over 50 researchers and multiple test flights since June 2024. Separately, a related effort in Australia, linked to Gates’ funding, has conducted 12 test runs, reporting a 10% precipitation increase in drought-affected areas. Outcomes remain under review, with no regulatory approvals finalized, and the technology’s broader application is still in the experimental phase.
