Will we ever have the technology or know how to hone weather to our desires or is this impossible?

I know that a hurricane is probably impossible yet I heard that a category five hurricane can produce so much energy to fuel a whole continent or more.

What are your thoughts on this?

Weather manipulation is dangerous ground. If it is to reestablish a balance that is one thing but to create favorable conditions all the time? That may cause unforeseeable problems. Global Warming is a myth.

Control it??? Oh heck hon... how many gazillion of dollars have been spent on machines & studies.. and we still can't evven accurately PREDICT it! :tongue: laugh

Wow you are just full of information aren't you! Are you sure you are not Einstein disguisedlaugh

Thank you for the rich information brotherdrinker

We already do. Youtube/Google: HAARP . However, don't believe what the gov't tell you. It does a lot more than what information they are volunteering...

Watch the movies, The Matrix Trilogy, V for Vendetta, Equilibrium, and Wall E

Read "1984" and "A Brave New World"

Then do some thorough research and you'll know what it's actually used for. No joke. Any questions, shoot me a message.

Concerning the link about chemical trailing that Quietman posted, well I do believe that the US Air Force has used something similiar for war before.

I know of some Vietnam Vets that I sometimes go bowling with that are suffering from Agent Orange. They always have headaches and their muscles are always soar. There is no cure supposingly for the government believed there weren't enough cases to do any experiments to find a cure for it. Morphine is what they are offered if they want it, but it dulls the mind and weakens the body, so many avoid it.

Agent Orange was sprayed on the soldiers (supposingly by mistake) to clear out areas of forest so the enemy can be seen from the sky. The Air Force claims they where given false coordinates and that is when the accidents happened.

This is just stories I hear from Vietnam Vets who try to beat me in bowling once a month. So far they can'tlaugh


but I am sure they could if they where healthy and youngerlaugh

I doubt if we will be using hurricanes for power anytime soon but there has been a lot of talk about seeding clouds around hurricanes to force rain and reduce the power of the storm. There was some talk of seeding the upper atmosphere to reduce global warming. That really doesn't sound like a good idea either.

I watched all of them except Equilibrium. Need to see what that is all about. laugh drinker

yeah the weather patterns on the planet is a big interconnected engine (it's all solar driven)

and if you tinker with it there are no telling what unintended results you get

I did a rain dance here in Miami once and it actually rainedlaugh

I think the chief of the Miccussokee Tribe just watched the weather channel and got everyone out to dance around a firelaugh

but joke aside, I could imagine that many government agencies are thinking up of different possiblities as we speak.

they hav foudn ways to creat clouds or to disper (speling) clouds meaning they can make them heavier and fall (rain) whenever they want but control on a large scale i imagine isnt such a great idea

The only global way to do this is to control the flow of energy from the sun through the Earth's atmosphere. Giant mirrors in space redirecting energy. Yeah it's been thought of. It'll happen some day.

Will we ever have the technology or know how to hone weather to our desires or is this impossible?

I know that a hurricane is probably impossible yet I heard that a category five hurricane can produce so much energy to fuel a whole continent or more.

What are your thoughts on this?


I believe it's absolutely possible for a civilization that is technologically far enough advanced to completely control the biosphere of Planet Earth (barring abnormal behavior of the Sun).

In my mind isn't isn't really a question of whether or not it's possible. It's really just a question of whether or not humanity will live long enough and ever truly mature as a species.

We have a very long way to go in that respect. So it won't be happening anytime soon, and we may very well throw humanity back into another Dark Ages for another millennium or two. Assuming we even survive that.

Looking at it optimistically and barring the idea of another Dark Ages, we might actually have the ability to control the entire biosphere within the next couple of millennium. Especially if technology continues to increase at it's current pace, but I can't truly see that continuing forever. Our technological abilities are skyrocketing right now because we're truly just toddlers in the age of technology. We went from basically a state of almost complete ignorance into a technological awakening over the last couple of centuries.

Earth is just a big rock really. It truly is a spaceship. Abeit pretty much stuck in orbit around the sun with no engines to go anywhere. But ultimately it's just a big spaceship. Theoretically if we simply treat it as such we could probably control the environment pretty well actually. (assuming the Sun doesn't start vomiting on us or get the hiccups)

If Sol starts acting up I don't think there would be much we could do about that. But if Sol remains as calm as it's been throughout recorded history I think we could stablize the environment of Earth pretty well.

Not with today's technology, but you were asking if we could ever do it. Yes, I believe we could given enough time. We might be talking about a couple of millennium before we get there, and even that would probably depend on us waking up pretty soon and growing out of our petty ape-like mentality. I think the entire mass of humanity would need to grow up. I don't think we could do it with just a hand full of scientists like we have to day. (I'm taking in comparison with the masses).

The masses of humanity are going to need to grow up if we expect to do anything on that scale. I don't know if that's ever going to happen or not. I have very little faith in humanity personally, but I suppose there are reasons to be optimistic.

I think humanity has the potential to do really great things. The real question is, "Will they step up to the challenge?" Or will they continue to act like their cousins the Chimpanzees?

Only time will tell.

your very inelligant, kind of redundant, but i agree, humanity would all have to grow up so to say, but why control the wheather anyways? theres no reaosn to, and harvestign energy from hurricanes, isnt controlling the weather at all its just capturing energy...

I was just listenting to the world news on NPR this morning. In India farmers are committing suicide in large numbers. All because of the weather. They didn't get the rains that they depend on for their crops and they've had an 80% crop failure.

Unfortunately this has driven something like 120 farmers to commit suicide out of pure financial desperation.

I imagine the crop failures are also going to have an impact on the community at large too in some way or another.

I'm not sure I understand your conclusion that there's no reason to control the weather. I think there are many reasons why it would be quite advantageous to be able to control the weather. At least in terms of making it somewhat stable and dependable.

I don't think it would be necessary to control it like on a daily basis or anything like that. We wouldn't need to have that kind of "fine control" over it. If we could just get it to where we could keep it fairly stable and dependable to do fairly average things on a consistent basis, that would probably be all the "control" we'd need.

I'm thinking in terms of controling an "ecosystem". Not a commercialized 'Weather Service' were individuals call up and order what kind of whether they'd personally like to have on a paricular day.
