We Irish could do with a bit of help from our fellow planet dwellers in China at the moment. Absurd as it may sound the Chinese are investigating plans to help control the weather for the next Olympic Games. Normally they provide rain for crops in times of drought but this time around they are pretty convinced that they can stop light showers and will have a go at strong downpours. We could do with their help to lighten up this “wonderful” Irish Summer that we are having at the moment. source: The Register
