Firstly, it was claimed that the virus originated in either the states or Israel.
no proof of either was ever given.

Heating up the ionosphere to cause drought....Have you any idea how vague and inaccurate that would be?
"hmmm lets try this and see what happens...oops its now 60 Celsius across the entirety of Europe!"

This all sounds about as logical as me blaming someone else if i ended up in a ditch while driving. "That guy i don't like musta done it, he has a gravity gun!"

Yeah it wasn't mentioned on FOX News. A mind closed to all possibilities.

I think the idea is that they make it rain before it gets to you, therefore causing drought.

So, We need to sever all ties with the US, Elect a fundamentalist Islamic Government and start a nuclear program. Then we might get a decent summer.

...or failing that, we could ask that model Cloudier Shifter if she'd get rid of them for us.

Neither was proof ever given in The economist, Time, Newsweek, CNN, etc etc.

Plenty of accusations/postulating, but proof? nope.

The US and other western countries are causing The Saharan desert to expand, they are also causing
the dessertifcation of other areas including Iran.

maddragon · 11-09-2012 04:06PM

It's a very cirrus allegation

3ndahalfof6 · 11-09-2012 04:06PM

Iran need to take a good hard look at themselves, their no fly zone is the reason the clouds will not go there.

How so?

Fossil fuels I'm guessing?

Desertification in Africa to name one example, is caused primarily by wretched farming/herding techniques.

Animals overgraze, topsoil blows away, desert spreads. This has nothing to do with the US or the west.

The technology does exist to back up his claim. Cloud seeding has bee around for along time. It could be used to extract the moisture from the air before it crosses into a certain area.

Well given that global warming and climate change is generally accepted to be man made - he's not wrong. Although his own people also did it to themselves

Nor is being open-minded the same as being gullible. Touché.

The man is nut and he's the leader of a country that's building nuclear weapons. :eek: He must be a joke among most Iranians who are by and large a very civilised people.

It looks like the Mullahs chose him because he's too stupid to be any danger to their power. No wonder they had to rig the election to get him in.

But I don't know which is funnier him or some of the people on this very thread who think he might have a point!

Not sure what you're saying here. And touché is what you says when something has gotten a point over you, not vice versa

Who translated the quote from farsi to english?
Seems plausible that those dumb enough to believe that he previously stated "Israel should be wiped off the map" are the very ones to believe another mistranslation.

mike65 · 11-09-2012 04:31PM

If he is that worried why isn't Iran spending money on seeding the skies rather than building nuclear bombs?

So it is. Thought it worked both ways. My mistake.

Mind you, there is no proof either that they're building a bomb.

Ok, they most likely are, but don't say it like that without proof.

wouldnt using such a weapon have highly unpredictable effects for neighbouring countries and knock on effects for more distant countries.

aswell as their own potentially.

risk vs benefits -outside of imminent threat - is a clear no.

I expect the nuclear arms (if they ARE being built) would serve as a better deterrent to Isreal's aggression than a cloud tickler.

That's IF such a hypothetical weapon exists, and there is absolutely no reason to think so

You could've given us a signal or something...Then we would've picked up on the coercion.

The US has this year suffered the driest year and most pronounced drought conditions since the 1950s which has caused a shortfall in crops. There is a food shortage crisis unfolding.

I'm guessing that they have not yet fully mastered control of precipitation.

Perhaps their abilities are restricted to inducing rain from existing clouds rather than in creating new rainclouds.
