Al Gore when running for president in 2000 said “we are working on controlling weather.”
Later he wrote “An Inconvenient Truth” which led to his movie.
Mankind has tried to make rain since forever and has never stopped.
Funding has probably never stopped, either, as governments know controlling weather would be one of the best offensive/defensive weapons.
The people in the CIA are not smart enough to be mucking with a self-correcting system like global climates... Opps we’re so sorry won’t cut it when they realize we’re in the infancy of that science... and realize it too late.
SOUEEEE! HERE, PORK! PORK! PORK!
More calls for funding of pseudo-science.
How about calling for funding to extirpate Islam before it attacks us?
“Mankind has tried to make rain since forever and has never stopped.”
I read a good sci-fi short story about, how after we had developed unlimited, cheap fusion power, that the Middle East oil producers had to find some use for their now nearly worthless oil. Their solution was to build “artificial mountains” of huge strips of asphalt which would generate rain in the desert from the up drafts of hot air created by the asphalt.
I doubt it is satire. I watched a documentary about the feasibility of putting millions of tiny mirrors into space to deflect some of the Sun’s light.
...these people are out there!!! Another idea was to dump iron-oxide(?)/rust into our oceans, something about how it would help the ocean absorb CO2.
What could possibly go wrong!!!! ugh. I found their arrogance offensive.
“I’ve typed my comment in 5 times...”
I’ll help you. We should start with...
“Lord, Lord, Lord...”
So the solution for humans changing the climate is for humans to change the climate. Wow. No wonder modern government or leftists never solve any problems.
We can fix Mother Nature, right?
The arrogance of ignorance has no bounds
But bounds about in unintended consequential glee,
Sure of its brilliance,
Unrestricted by its stupidity.
A big part of why our government’s role has been reversed i.e. controlling the citizens instead of the citizens controlling the government is the political class has no thinking boundaries. Anything goes if it works for them. Whereas the everyday human has no such inclination to that type of ambition. We scoff and mock the mere mention of such tomfoolery.

Warning. The third link contains some information that many here consider tomfoolery. If any reader is uncomfortable with the possibility that political leaders could ever agree to any kind of program that would give their class tremendous power over US who enjoy stumbling around in the darkness of our closed minds, that’s ok. No reason to get excited.
Tomfoolery usually plays out pretty quickly. Your disdain of such imaginings could prove worthy any day now.
Fantasy. No gubmint project ever cost just $630,000.
Great links - here is another:
Owning the Weather in 2025
A Research Paper Presented To the Air Force
http://csat.au.af.mil/2025/volume3/vol3ch15.pdf
That is a great link, thanks. That the information was presented in 1996 allows anyone who has paid attention in the ensuing years to gain a firmer understanding of how close the political pirates have come to their dream of complete control, however temporary.
I thought the Paper’s use of one liners ingenious, if intended. Particularly appreciated Chapter Four, Artificial Weather, which includes this gem:
One major advantage of using simulated weather to achieve a desired effect is that unlike other approaches, it makes what are otherwise the results of deliberate actions appear to be the consequences of natural weather phenomena.
Oh, my!
