Title: Can We Control the Weather ?
Post by: Alex on April 09, 2024, 06:52:08 PM
I've been reading so many 'conspiracy theories' about this, but is it possible ?  Many photos of aircraft releasing contrails, or chemtrails as some call them have been on social media.  Saudia Arabia already has the technology to make rain, cloud seeding has worked to bring rain to the country.  JUst imagine how advanced China must be !

Here's the "explanation"  :grin: Contrails are streaks of condensed water vapor created in the air by an airplane or rocket at high altitudes

Hot humid air from the engine exhaust mixes with the cold surrounding air, causing the water vapor to condense into droplets or ice crystals that form visible clouds.

I think some of the cloud seeding stuff works but if you want rain the moisture has to be in the air already. If it isn't you are out of luck. 

Yes contrails are just condensed moisture from the burnt fuel but don't produce any rain. 

There is far too much potential money to be made from weather control for it to remain a secret. If it was economically possible we'd see it happening lots of places imo.

UK Food Shortages

"Farmers warn of 1st year without harvest since WW2"

What could have caused all this wet weather I wonder?

Probably just a coincidence

Oh, it'll be the global warming they keep going on about!

There was a huge underwater volcano about a year back with millions of tons of water blasted up into the stratosphere. What goes up eventually comes down. I'll dig out a link.

Seems it was 2 years back. Maybe it can't be that.

Am not 100% certain, but I think farmers do other things besides producing turkeys.

One of them used to advertise Everest double glazing, but he topped himself ages ago.

Maybe it isn't the wet. Might be a shortage of CO2 here what with all the electric cars - stuff needs it to grow.

Farmers are never happy but when the government gives them grants to not grow food in their fields we are bound to have a smaller harvest. Let's not kid ourselves, farmers don't want a bumper harvest, they want maximum profits.

A completely logical and correct statement.
Vegetation needs CO2, yet the climate change lobby thinks we'd be better off without it.
Not only that, but climate change is completely natural and has been occurring for millennia.
People cannot stop it, whatever trendy rules and laws they can think up!

Aha!!  Perhaps this is why there is a policy to eliminate Christianity in the UK, to reduce the number of turkeys required at Christmas and thus appease the farmers by paying them grants to not breed this type of poultry?!

I imagine some of the grants are for not being very good at breeding turkeys.

As to the weather  -  somewhere I read that in Russia they are adding sort of aluminium pills or similar to the clouds, so that it's raining and a blue sky in Moskov is ensured on their special remembrance day. Here in Germany they also treat the clouds if a severe hail is to be expected in the vineyards.
Change in climate - whether normal or not, in any case in our region the climate has changed extremely. When I was young, we had lots of snow and my daughters learned skiing on our hills. Today if it's snowing at all, the snow is melting quickly. We had hot days in summer, but not such hot ones as in the last few years and after a thunderstorm it was cool.

At the moment there are floods in Saudi Arabia, distressing scenes of tethered camels drowning, the water is rushing down in torrents.  Someone in the 'cloud seeding department' has obviously cocked up !

No I wasn't joking I watched the clips, but it was January.  Someone conveniently forgot to add the date not unusual on TikTok and Twitter and I assumed wrongly it was happening now.

you are right the desert is turning green with vegetation .
Not a good sign if you are a follower of the ROP as this  predicts the end of the world ☹️
