One step closer to local weather control?

Lumi

An interesting article in the Independent today on current research by
biophotonics experts at the University of Geneva into using ultra-short lasers to purposefully control local weather

Their experiments have shown that intense pulses of light can cause ice to form and water to condense, leading to the formation of clouds......

....Researchers have also proved that lightning can be triggered and channeled through the air using laser pulses.

While results obtained in a laboratory setting and from small-scale atmospheric tests are a far cry from actually being able to trigger rain or control lightning on a real scale, its a fascinating and controversial area of research nonetheless.

There's a more detailed paper on the concept here 'Laser-based Weather Control'

I found somthing like that before ,it was called harrps or somthing like that.

I was then pointed towards the conspiracy forum.

Interesting alright but I'm of the opinion it should be left well alone.

True that.
Tampering with weather and human life to suit ourselves.

Leave nature to do what it does best even though we are effecting it through pollution etc.

You mean the HAARP Project (High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program) which operates out of a military research facility in Alaska ?

Totally different avenue of research which has no potential to affect weather.

That hasn't stopped conspiracy theorists blaming it for natural disasters ie earthquakes, floods, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes etc etc etc :pac:

Saw thread title and thought this was related to your new found (congrats, btw) status i.e. "now I'm a mod I'm one step closer...." :pac:

Anything that interferes with the atmosphere, increases or reduces pressure or actively adds particles [seeding, smoke, pollution, vibration] or removes particles will have an effect on weather.

Back in the Forties some believed the Imperial Japanese created or enhanced typhoons to sink the US Navy. We now know too that some of the conspiracy theories as in seeding has been admitted to, but we don't know the results.

Weather is an engine that self feeds itself, there is probably only so much weather potential so if one makes it rain in one spot it may deprive another from rain altogether and unpredictably so.

I'm in the leave weather alone camp too.

The first reason for life on the planet is the magnetic fields, radio waves making a protective bubble from the Sun's rays.

The next is weather.
