Climate change, which has been spoken of and studied for well over one hundred yearsgeordi-no

Chemtrails and government altering the weathergeordi-yes

[-] AcidSmiley@hexbear.net 15 points 1 week ago

They're only banning weather modification, not climate modification think-about-it

[-] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago

Oh, fuck. Stop lathing! doomjak

[-] D61@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

Nah... then they'd have to awknowledge that weather and climate are different things.

[-] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 35 points 1 week ago

Lol, maybe this can backfire and be used to prevent some rich asshole from trying to do stratospheric aerosol injection of sulfur. Probably not though. They'll use it to prevent windmills or something.

The only problem with this is that when hurricanes and sea rise send florida to the salty depths the people that made this happen will be able to flee.

its not really a conspiracy theory though.. weather modification has been going on since before I was born.. hell i remember my dad telling me back in the 80s about how they seeded clouds using planes that sprayed silver iodide and other shit into the sky

also if you've ever been to columbus ohio you can pretty much see it happening.. the grid pattern of contrails that turn into a haze and then fully cloudy sky is something to behold

That's not really a causal relationship, though. The conditions that allow contrails to appear are the same conditions that allow clouds to form. The presence of contrails predicts clouds, they don't really cause clouds. The clouds you're seeing would form with or without the contrails.

[-] Lyudmila@hexbear.net 16 points 1 week ago

Fun science fact: In the case of silver iodide cloud seeding, it actually is a causal relationship. The silver iodide acts as a catalyst for the water in humid air and in other less visible clouds that contact the contrails. It causes the water to form droplets around the silver iodide particles and freeze, gaining the necessary mass to fall as rain or snow.

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 25 points 1 week ago

Making it rain with cloud seeding is not the same as total control over the weather, which is what chuds think happened with the recent hurricanes.

Cloud seeding is definitely a thing but it's expensive and not very effective and that's about the extent of what we can do

[-] SoyViking@hexbear.net 19 points 1 week ago

I saw on TikTok how they are protecting vineyards against hailstorms in Italy by firing cannons into the air. Allegedly the shockwave interferes with hailstone formation and prevents it from growing too large.

[-] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 16 points 1 week ago

Those things are stupid as hell but i won't lie, big boom make brain happy lets-fucking-go

[-] Saeculum@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago

Silver iodide is really expensive in large volumes though, there's a reason we don't use it casually.

[-] CommCat@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah I'm pretty sure China has done some cloud seeding during droughts. I think I also read Amerikkka did cloud seeding during the Vietnam War.
