Russians change weather for concert
When Paul McCartney performed in St. Petersburg last Sunday, it looked like it was going to rain, so the organizers dispersed the clouds by having them sprayed with dry ice at a cost of $40,000.
Apparently this in not the first time the Russians have practiced weather modification – the clouds were also dispersed for St. Petersburg’s 300th anniversary celebrations. Usually, however, weather modification is carried out to cause rain, not to prevent it.
