And it's not an unusual belief, unfortunately.
Belief that weather control is possible is so common that states like Tennessee passed a law to ban geo-engineering / chemtrails. Meanwhile, another different conspiracy is that "the globalists" / "Bill Gates" / "The Rothchilds" / "George Soros" want to cram everyone into densely packed cities (15-minute cities) and they're using the "climate change hoax" to make people give up their cars.
If anybody knows any actual, working way to deprogram these cultists, I'd very much like to have some relatives back.
I just recommend podcasts like knowledge fight, then disappear back in to the void
I'm not going to be able to get them to listen to a podcast, and I refuse to disappear into the void.
It is possible to seed clouds with silver iodide to get them to start raining.
Ok now make a hurricane
Thats impossible.
That’s my point
And if you seed open air with silver iodine nothing happens, which is why you can't use that to, for example, make rain in the Sahara.
You need clouds already up there for it to work, which means water vapour getting up there in a high enough quantity that it has liquidified again (that's what clouds are: lots and lots of tiny water dropplets).
So what exactly is the geoengineering process that's put all that water up there in such quantity that there are clouds all the way to the horizon on all side, so thick that the sky becomes dark?
Our capabilities are about the equivalent of taking a bucket of water from a "creek" passing by in the sky whilst this hurricane would require us to be capable of putting an ocean of water up there, which is nowhere near our capabilities.
Yup, I said its possible to seed clouds to create rain. I didn't say its possible to seed the sky to create rain.
Well, I felt it wasn't clear from your post that seeding clouds to get them to drop their water is literally the most weather "control" we are capable of doing with current technology.
Yeah, with an unknown effectiveness. Like, maybe it will rain 5% more, maybe 5% earlier, but no guarantees. But, despite that, it's widely deployed just in case in some places.
