Rainmaker is running a $100,000 Metro ad campaign as part of a larger influence effort by the cloud-seeding startup. It’s a case study of how in the Trump era, it’s better for a startup to be talked about in Washington — even inaccurately — than not known at all. www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

A startup falsely blamed for triggering floods pitches cloud seeding to lawmakers

Rainmaker Technology is spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on lobbying and gold-framed Metro ads in a play for national attention.

Trees use predominantly summer water in the Ressi #experimental #catchment. Thank you to Giulia Zuecco for leading this work! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... During the growing season, soil and plant water had a dominant summer origin but seasonality had a major role on their temporal origin.
