I hope I am not the only one that thinks this might not be such a good idea. Actually it's a little scary.

Men have been trying to control weather since the Indians did rain dances and early aviators tried to seed the clouds for moisture.

IF weather control -- particularly the ability to create rain in parched and desert areas of the earth -- were done for only good purposes it would be most beneficial. But that is a big "IF" and, unfortunately, if weather could be controlled for good purposes weather could also be harnessed for not so good purposes such as intentional flooding, etc.

I agree with you -- it is a "little scary."

If rain manages to break through these barriers, China will deploy its weapon of last resort: liquid nitrogen. Aircraft will pummel the clouds with liquid nitrogen. This, according to officials, will increase the number of droplets in the cloud, but reduce their size, making them less likely to fall.

Upon detection, the second phase will commence, starting with a barrage from 20 ground-based sites encircling the stadium. Two aircraft will also be scrambled to spray dry ice and silver iodide into the clouds in an attempt to stop them from reaching the stadium.

If anyone thinks this is the first time this has been tried, you're just not paying attention. What better way to establish military superiority than to be able to control the weather.

it's a good thing they have that supercomputer that can run the same imperfect forecast algorithms even faster, or would those be Al Gore Rhythms?

These communist idiots can't even use a sit down toilet or silverware how in the hell do they think they can control mother nature.

You need to pay attention to allgore. He knows how to do it. If he can bring the temprature of the earth down with his ideas, he can increase them too.

He's the man. He invented the internet. Never mind the fact it was invented when he was still in high school.

All your nimbus are belong to us!

Who knew lainmakee would be big career in People's Republic?

It's true. In the 1980's Gargamel used a "Weather-Smurfing Machine" against the Smurfs.

And - KWRX25 - you get a Funny Flag for Al Gore Rhythm!

And in honor of the algore comments, I'll precede Buffalo Bob by pointing out, the Bush Administration secretly tried this in August 2005.

Any truth to the story that they are filing the artillery shells full of the ashes of Tibetan monks? And female babies?

"the Bush Administration secretly tried this in August 2005"

2005...come on.... more like 9/11

how do you think they got the steel to melt

lightning....it's real hot ya know.

and it was a severe microburst that took down flight 93 so no weapons had to be used.


come on, it's obvious.

**** These communist idiots can't even use a sit down toilet or silverware how in the hell do they think they can control mother nature.

........idiots ?..........

........they have more dollars than the U.S. government....( which technically has nothing but a negative amount of dollars ).......

........they own us.........so what does that make us ?...........

Wouldn't it have been cheaper just to put a roof on the building?

Preposterous. You never disappoint.

Do you realize how little heat it takes to make steel loose its strength? Do you realize how much of the support structure got damaged by the plane crash?

weather warfare is banned for good reason.

Search Project Popeye for the origins of the mis-use of Tesla technology (that we know about)

More recently is Project H.A.A.R.P.

**** Preposterous. You never disappoint.

........our federal government does not have even one dollar.........

........we have a federal debt and a budgetary deficit.......in other words we are living on borrowed money........

.........the Chinese have billions upon billions of US dollars cash, they run a trade surplus with us which earns them more every day.........

..........they have dollars.........we don't.......

..........they won the war to own the US without firing a shot.........

........but then outsmarting leaders like ours can't be a big deal.........

Sniper, was the sarcasm not thick enough???

I was kidding about the lightning melting the steel.

The Last Gasp. Written by Trevor Hoyle... Great read. Enviornmental warfare.

Sorry, I guess I missed it.

China has been seeding clouds for at least 10 years. Nothing new about this story....

"Sorry, I guess I missed it."

Yes, all that knee-jerking can affect your vision.
