Weather as a weapon?

[Inventor2]

Ok im sure we have all hear of this, the U.S government is developing a system that controls the wether. The famous phrase "owning the weather" was developed when people started to investigate con-trails (the white cloud or streek left by a plane) are spiked with chemicals that can be used to creat rainfall or a more serious, large destructive storms. These are known as "chem-trails". Others think that it is simply the water condensing into water vapor leaving an artaficial cloud. People believe these storms will be used as a weapon because not only are they destructive but you canalways blame the storm on mother nature. One thing we do know for sure is you can make it rain. Anyone can do this that ownes a small plain can do this. In order for rain to occer, water particals must have something to stick too. There is a chemical that can be bought in the form of a flare that are attached to plain wings. All you do is fly into a cloud, ignite the flares, and they releas the small particals needed for rain fall. So do you think the government has developed a more advanced system of this? Do you think the U.S and its allies are forming a super weapon? Or is this a bunch of non-sense.

Oh, I'm sure there will be someone somewhere working on developing such a thing, but for the most part, I'm inclined to go with your final sentence. While there is fairly little dispute among the scientific community that human activities are having some effect on the climate and hence some weather events, this is largely unintentional. I believe that we are still a very long way off having any meaningfully reliable control over the weather, and with all due respect, much of your suggestion seems to be sensationalistic conspiracy theory rubbish.

much of your suggestion seems to be sensationalistic conspiracy theory rubbish.

Seconded. Cloud seeding is about attracting and stimulating the release of existing moisture. If you could move billions of tons of atmosphere from one place to another via some means, or change its temperature you'd have the start of meaningful weather control. To be able to do this stealthily (i.e. with no one noticing your mechanism for affecting the weather OR the generation of weather departing drastically from expectations) renders the whole thing utterly improbable.

I did see something like this in Stargate once where they had a magic statue. Lots of rain,wind and snow. People died. Very sad.

O believe me i totaly agree with you! I think this is way ahead of what we can actualy do. Im just providing information from common sources about the topic (magazines, articles, websites ect.) i just want to hear what people have to say about it.

Yeah I think we're way off from controlling the weather....I personally think it's not even possible

[Foamy]

I feel as if the "clouds" that are left behind when planes fly by cant be filled with chemicals or they just wouldn't look like that. I mean, wouldn't the cloud look more like a smoggy fog sort of thing instead of a thin, natural looking cloud?

Btw, nobody can control the weather. Not yet. And not in the near future.

[MisterSix]

I read a few articles about it and they all said the experiments were inconclusive.
I highly doubt they can do it, otherwise drouths in farm land would be a thing of the past

[Taryn98]

I'm sure they're working on something to that effect but don't really believe it exists yet. At least not on a huge scale.

[FergusDunn]

I think that if it was developed or being worked on - its not the sort of thing we would get to no about -

I would not be surprised if it was fact -

Just thought sorry a ramble here - it might not be rain many other weather things could be used.

You guys mean HAARP right?

The big station of antenas that can be used as one. It has the power to change the direction of cloud movement by pulsing them with electicity. It also has the power to get inside our heads and possibly control them. But would the government actually use it in that way?

Saw this on 'Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura'. Don't quote me, just what i've watched

[DerBear]

Honestly, if it can do damage. Someone will be looking to make a weapon out of it. I ain't going into specific details about my own opinion but I can tell, that somewhere or someone will be trying to create a weapon to control the weather or create a weapon that re-creates a storm or something like that.

[Human]

i doubt it haha! although we can already control some aspects of the weather, before certain ceremonies russian jets often drop chemicals into the clouds to dissipate rain clouds

[CharlieFinley]

No, the capability to do what is described in the OP does not exist. Contrail chemicals cannot seed clouds for rain, and they cannot cause storms in any way, shape, or form, because contrails are just water vapor. The chemtrail conspiracy theory refers to chemical or biological weapons, not weather control. Contrails ARE water vapor. Seeding does not "make rain," it increases the probability of rain occurring. Attaching flares to plane wings is a damn stupid thing to do. Owning the weather is not a famous phrase.

In short, literally everything you posted was wrong. So yes, it was just a bunch of nonsense.
