Weather Control: How Much Is Actually Possible?

Just curious - how much control over the weather do we have, according to accepted science? Just got through watching an old 50's documentary about the weather, where they were talking like we would have greater control over the weather (hurricanes, rain, snow, etc) than ever before in the near future.

Certainly, conspiracy minded folks believe there are folks secretly in control of the weather already:

Is it strange how, when we are in the middle of summer, it can be raining out, and one day it is very "hot", the next day it is 15 degree cooler, and two days later, it is "hot" again? Does this seem strange? How about earthquakes in parts of the world, that are so devastating, that if they were to happen here, our whole economy could be ruined.

Do you think it is "odd" that people would suggest that the government can and does control the weather? I KNOW it sounds a little paranoid, but if you do the research to investigate, you will undoubtably arrive at the same conclusions. OUR WEATHER IS CONTROLLED!!

It all began with a Serbian fellow named Nikola Tesla, who came here to the United States in the late 1800's at the turn of the century. Tesla was a true "genius". Tesla had invented or discovered, the Radio, Television, Neon Lighting, Alternating Current, Partical Beams, and there is much reason to believe he was involved with building the world's first flying saucer projects equipt with Free-Energy. Tesla had figured out how to "tap" the abundant electricity generated by the earth's rotation. The same electricity which causes lightning, which we can visibly see.

Tesla was also known for having developed ways to use "Scalar Electromagnetics". The use of which could be for "Good" purposes or "not so good" ones. One of the "Inventions" he had, he called the "Earthquake Machine". He claimed that with the "Press of a button", he could split the Earth in two. There are also variations of this, depending on the frequency used and the ocillating rate. A small tremor could be produced, or a huge catastrophe.

Currently, the military has control over this technology and is using it in a number of ways. The main use of it for weather control, I believe, is a project in Alaska called HAARP. This stands for High Auroral Arial Research Project. The "Official" story behing this can be checked out by going to the Offical HAARP Home Page. Be aware though, that the Army has created a "Cover" for what this Project "Really" is. The project is for "Weather Control", however, they claim it was created to "Monitor" the waether patterns, and such. This is total Bulls**t. If you believe that, I have some "Prime" real estate, farmland, and fruit orchards to sell you, in Alaska, that is.

WEATHER CONTROL AND WEATHER WARFARE

Subtitle: History's Greatest Misconceptions Held by the Masses of People
1. The earth is flat

2. The Sun revolves around our Earth

3. "If God had wanted man to fly, he would have created us with wings".

4. Only God can control the Weather

Since our educational system has been deliberately dumbed down to prevent citizens from being well trained in logic, mathematics, and science, most people do not believe that man controls the weather. In this article, we will demonstrate the obvious worthlessness of this stagnate belief.

Silver nitrate

Hey there,

I'm sure I read in some sci-tech paper that there was a process that involved loading clouds with silver nitrate to induce rain to fall. A crude type of weather control and a long way from the sort of thing shown in Back to the Future II!!!!!!

Wasn't it Artur C Clark who prophesised man controlling the weather??
 
AFAIK, it's disputed. People selling rain-seeding gear talk it up; others talk it down. The bottom line is that it's very hard to prove a correlation between seeding and rain; how can you prove that it would not have rained then anyway? It doesn't help that it's generally used in unusual circumstances.

The military have tried it - there was an unsuccessful attempt to close the Ho Chi Minh trail this way. But it's currently illegal and takes a lot of resources.

HAARP is most certainly not used for 'weather control' in the normal sense (wind, cloud, rain, sun) , though given that it alters conditions in the ionosphere it alters the 'weather' there.
 
Seeding for rain is not illegal, at least not here. Many drought affected areas of the country have been using it to try and induce rain.

The idea behind it is sound. Rain needs something to act as the nucleus to the droplets, in order for them to condense and precipitate from the water vapour in clouds. So, in order to force clouds to drop their water, spray some fine particles into them, hopefully forcing drops to form. (Silver nitrate is used because of the size of the particles - they're nice and small and, in theory, should prompt rain to form well.)

The problem is that seeding is only about 50% effective. Or, more accurately, only about 50% of clouds that are seeded produce rain where it is wanted. There is a distinct possibility that the seeding is having absolutely no effect at all, and that the rain attributed to it is just coincidental.

If anyone had the ability to effectively control the weather, we would have known about it for some time. There would be no mystery.

Could you imagine what the world would be like if the Pentagon had a weather control device? :shock:

Other recent science news from China:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/dec/03/china-vows-to-boost-weather-modification-capabilities

What might Beijing's quantum computing powers do for its efforts to harvest rainfalls exclusively over Chinese topographies? Could pairing these two efforts lead to Chinese commandeering of rainfall significant enough to spawn droughts elsewhere on the planet? (Could droughts even come to be "targeted"? Would our own quantum computers be able to reveal the answers to these queries?)

With a "natural system" of climate yet in place on our hurtling globe, how intelligent is it, or would it be, to intervene into its mechanisms in order to make it perform "rationally" according to any human estimation?

Weather is so complex that I doubt the Chinese, or anyone else, will have the impact they want. They may increase the rainfall they want in some areas and decrease it in others according to their specifications, or the opposite may be happen, or something completely different.
 
Cloud seeding has been going on here in Colorado for longer than I realized. Vail Resorts and other ski hill operators are hard nosed businesses, so I think they are getting some results for their money. A bit of fresh snow can make a huge difference, especially around peak skiing dates. The resort I worked at had quite a snow making operation, but that was a different thing. It involved spraying water into the cold night air. Pretty weird but it worked. It could not have been cheap. The machinery was impressive and loud.

Vail Resorts Inc., one of the largest financial contributors to Colorado’s cloud seeding program, has dropped out this year, leaving a major hole in the program’s budget.


Cloud seeding is a practice in which silver iodide pellets are sprayed into storm clouds in an effort to trigger more snowfall and ultimately, in the spring, more snowmelt to feed the state’s streams.


Vail has been participating in the program for more than 40 years, state officials said.


Hard-hit by the pandemic, the ski resort company had planned to contribute $300,000 to this year’s effort, roughly 20% of the nearly $1.5 million the state spends annually, according to the Colorado Water Conservation Board, which oversees the program.
