South Korea Conducts Artificial Rain Experiment to Combat Chinese Pollution

It looks like this experiment will have to go back to the drawing board for some more refinement:

South Korea has experimented with artificial rainfall off its west coast to assess the technique’s efficiency in mitigating fine dust. 

According to the Korea Meteorological Administration(KMA), in the experiment jointly conducted with the Environment Ministry, silver iodide was spread in the air above the West Sea around 120 kilometers away from Gunsan in North Jeolla Province for about an hour from 10:13 a.m. on Friday. 

No rain or snow was detected in the areas where the chemical materials were expected to induce precipitation. Only a light drizzle was observed near Yeonggwang in South Jeolla Province. 

In order to achieve substantial mitigation of fine dust via rain, heavy rainfall of ten millimeters per hour or more is needed for at least two hours.

You can read more at the link, but what I find interesting about all this is that the South Korean leftists will protest the US over oil contamnination they cannot even confirm is happening from Yongsan Garrison. However, the Chinese pollute the entire peninsula with fine dust to the point the ROK needs to create artificial rain to stop it and has anyone seen any of the leftists protesting this?
