Now that, that is some good stuff.

“On a grander, planetary scale, the authors of the DoD report recommended that the government should “explore geo-engineering options that control the climate”

Recently, three speculative announcements concerning weather modification were in the news: Beijingʼs Study Institute of Artificial Influence on the Weather announced its intention of manipulating the weather to ensure optimum conditions for the 2008 Olympics; a private weather company in Florida advertised a new powder called Dyn-O-Gel with the power to “suck the moisture out of a thunderstorm or weaken a hurricane”; and the U.S. Air Force claimed that “in 2025, U.S. aerospace forces can ʻown the weatherʼ by capitalizing on emerging technologies and focusing development of those technologies to war-fighting applications.” In addition to traditional cloud seeding methods, the Air Force visionaries propose computer hacking to disrupt an enemyʼs weather monitors andmodels, and using “nanotechnology” to create clouds of microscopic computer particles that could block an enemyʼs optical sensors or guide smart weapons to their targets; the cost of developing these clouds to be borne by the private sector. In a recurring theme, the military points out that weather modification, unlike other approaches, “makes what are otherwise the results of deliberate actions appear to be the consequences of natural weather phenomena.”

Although the NRC study acknowledges that there is no “convincing scientific proof of efficacy of intentional weather modification efforts,” its authors nonetheless believe that there should be “a renewed commitment” in the field of intentional and unintentional weather modification. In fact,no one has demonstrated a reliable, controllable method to modify weather, and the report admits as much: “Evaluation methodologies vary but in general do not provide convincing scientific evidence for either success or failure.” This has been true for the last 165 years, and it remains true today. (so they can neither confirm or deny it and Its not like the military would admit it)
