Climate—disordered

The narrative follows a resort publicity man who, after failing to attract tourists, devises a clandestine plan to alter local weather by sowing dry-ice pellets from a converted bomber to induce snow and rain over a competing seaside town. Initial raids succeed, triggering cancellations and boosting his town's trade and his income, but repeated manipulation draws attention and competing aircraft appear, suggesting escalation and unforeseen consequences. The story traces pragmatic opportunism, the commercialization of nature, and the moral and practical risks that arise when private interests attempt to engineer climate for profit.
