Government can control the weather.

This kind of stuff has been going on for decades, since the 60s and people still believe that it's all cooked up by conspiracy theorists. Here's another one:

Nope. They are doing it. It's no conspiracy theory. :rolleyes:

Well yes, but geoengineering is actually a serious problem because an awful lot of people are starting to believe that it's a "solution" to climate change when there are actually a lot of problems associated with it, not least the fact that it's a moral hazard. I don't think most people think it's a conspiracy theory, it just sounds weird when you say "The Government can control the weather" when really you mean "Modern science has given us the ability to influence the weather and climate using resources that we have access to and in short time scales".

What kind of a response is that? Modern science has also given us the atom bomb and looked what happened! Open your eyes! The government can control weather and manipulate it and is doing, and you think that humans are blindly discovering science? They are not. They are active participants.

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make? What exactly do you think they're going to do with it? I've got serious concerns with Geoengineering but not because I think governments are going to use it to enslave us all...

I don't think anyone does think it's a conspiracy theory. Research into influencing the weather is not something widely publicised, but nor is it in any way a secret. It has been covered on several occasions by the mainstream media, such as that Guardian article you linked.

Of course, the research teams have probably made more progress than we're aware of, but they still won't be able to do much more than trigger or delay raincloud formation on demand. I doubt very much they can do anything like start a hurricane, let alone steer one.

Poor example dude :biggrin:

Also, stop reading the guardian, it's not as if they haven't been caught with their hand in the jar before now.
