    This is mother nature...in my opinion if you try to control it, it will only lead to more problems in the future because things aren't on their natural paths.

    Warnings, evacuations, better building structure and codes...those are all things that can be improved to help out with limiting the number of people endangered. But overall I don't think it would be such a smart idea to try and control mother nature.

    Do you think that if this power were available today, that this would be the number 1 reason for using it? I ask myself, where would the profits be if one could control the weather.

    Coastal areas could pay you for protection, mafia style.

    Manny gained over 100 pounds worrying about Katrina. I bet he's doing tons of cardio now.

    I'm not starting a joke thread, I would just like to hear other opinions.

    Do you think it is or will ever be possible to control the weather? Do you think this could be possible right now? If there were means to control the weather, who do you think would monopolize this power first? What purposes would they use it for?


    I'm being serious, would like to hear at least some serious replies...

    if you think its science fiction then say so but don't rip me


    I just find it so coincidental that this hurricane seemed designed to nail NO, especially the way it went south after reaching Florida. I've never seen a hurricane do that ever.
    damn cbf, i dont remember if you and i talked about this or what, but i remember talking about it to my parents 2 years ago and saying "just watch, the tropical storms and hurricanes are gonna be crazy these next few years due to testing for methods of weather control"
    NO/Katrina really has made me su ios, not to mention the barrage of hurricanes that hit florida last year... one after another... is that nromal?

    scott, mookie, and i were talking about weather control like 2 or 3 years ago, that year when it seemed to rain seriously every other day....it was a very weird year. i think it was 2003.

    Yeah ive been hearing that this has been the most abnormal hurricane season in a very very long time.

    Weather Control

    Is it strange how, when we are in the middle of summer, it can be raining out, and one day it is very "hot", the next day it is 15 degree cooler, and two days later, it is "hot" again? Does this seem strange? How about earthquakes in parts of the world, that are so devastating, that if they were to happen here, our whole economy could be ruined.
    Do you think it is "odd" that people would suggest that the government can and does control the
    weather? I KNOW it sounds a little paranoid, but if you do the research to investigate, you will undoubtably arrive at the same conclusions. OUR WEATHER IS CONTROLLED!!

    It all began with a Serbian fellow named Nikola Tesla, who came here to the United States in the late
    1800's at the turn of the century. Tesla was a true "genius". Tesla had invented or discovered, the Radio,
    Television, Neon Lighting, Alternating Current, Partical Beams, and there is much reason to believe
    he was involved with building the world's first flying saucer projects equipt with Free-Energy. Tesla had
    figured out how to "tap" the abundant electricity generated by the earth's rotation. The same electricity
    which causes lightning, which we can visibly see.

    Tesla was also known for having developed ways to use "Scalar Electromagnetics". The use of which
    could be for "Good" purposes or "not so good" ones. One of the "Inventions" he had, he called the
    "Earthquake Machine". He claimed that with the "Press of a button", he could split the Earth in two.
    There are also variations of this, depending on the frequency used and the ocillating rate. A small tremor
    could be produced, or a huge catastrophe.

    To read more about Nikola Tesla, his background, and Flying Saucers - Click Here!!

    Currently, the military has control over this technology and is using it in a number of ways. The main
    use of it for weather control, I believe, is a project in Alaska called HAARP. This stands for High
    Auroral Arial Research Project. The "Official" story behing this can be checked out by going to the
    Offical HAARP Home Page. Be aware though, that the Army has created a "Cover" for what this
    Project "Really" is. The project is for "Weather Control", however, they claim it was created to
    "Monitor" the waether patterns, and such. This is total Bulls**t. If you believe that, I have some "Prime"
    real estate, farmland, and fruit orchards to sell you, in Alaska, that is.

    Nick Begich is probably the best source today, as well as the first, to point out and teach about the
    "True" story behind HAARP, and how it all got started. (I am not very scientific, although I understand alot. So I
    will not go into things I cannot explain or discuss on my own here. You can read these people's writings for yourself to get the best understanding. I am only going to convey the basic message here.)

    Bugs may control weather: Study

    LONDON, England --British scientists have launched a study to find out if airborne bugs in clouds control the Earth's weather.

    Scientists believe certain bug species may have evolved the ability to manipulate the weather in order to secure their own survival.

    A team of microbiologists from the University of East London (UEL) are examining if the microbes play an active role in the formation of clouds and making it rain.

    Using a revolutionary "cyclonic cloud catcher", the team, led by Dr Bruce Moffett, will collect samples of cloud water from aircraft and on uplands across the UK.

    These samples will then be analysed to discover the composition and activity of any microbes present.

    Preliminary analysis of samples already taken from low-lying ulus clouds near Oxford has shown the presence of micro-organisms, including ammonia-oxidising bacteria.

    The 18-month pilot project, funded by a $190,000 (£130,000) grant from the Natural Environment Research Council, aims to test the theory that a self-sustaining ecosystem exists in clouds and that bacteria and algae play a key role in creating clouds and triggering rainfall.

    Until now scientists have been unable to accurately detect, identify and analyse microbial communities in harsh conditions.

    Dr Moffett said: "We are looking for evidence that microbial metabolism could have a major influence on patterns of climate and weather today.

    "A really exciting possibility is that microbes have evolved ways of triggering cloud formation and rainfall to facilitate their own dispersal and reproduction, in other words, they could be controlling the weather."

    The research could prove significant in medical and biotechnology fields, with the possibility that some of the microbes discovered may have natural screening against ultra violet rays or processes to neutralise greenhouse gases.

    The study will also help scientists understand the movement of airborne pathogens such as those which spread foot-and-mouth disease among cattle.

    i was thinking about this too. some people think there may be an entire network of ecosystems up in the sky that we know practically nothing about.

    I believe that before trying to control it, we should try to understand it better. Last night nobody had a real idea if the hurricane was weakening or gainning strength, if it was moving east or west, or if it was vanishing or spinning harder.

    Same goes for earthquakes and other natural catastrophes. We have ideas on why they happen, their consequences, but our ability to predict and deal with this things is still very limited.

    Once we arrive at a point where our scientific knowledge gives us better understanding on these events, then we should ask ourselves another question that is even harder to answer: Should the weather be controlled? Is it safe to interrumpt natural events? Will we save lives from a castastrophe, or create an enviromental chaos?

    At least with hurricanes, blizzards, thunderstorms and tornados, there's some kind of warning. Unfortunately, they can't give you any with earthquakes.

    Very smart post.

    I agree... we should first understand it WAY better before we mess with it and find up we F'd someting up and screwed ourselves.

    Yup.

    I think "they" do more to control the weather than most people think.

    I'm not a conspiracy sort of a guy but i believe very little i read wholeheartedly.

    Just because your paranoid doen'st mean there not out to get you.

    But if they every start ing with the weather to divert damage or a deathtoll to a less populated area along the magnitude of something this large, there would be pitchforks and mobs with rope coming after those in charge.


    I wonder how many people would agree with this idea if LA was going to suffer an earthquake or record proportions and they were able to divert it BUT the only way they could divert it would be to SA. Why? those idiots in SF and oakland and wherever the else the fault line runs along were stupid enough to live where there were high risks.

    Same think in N.O.

    I can't get flood insurance if i build in a flood plain, why should i have compassion for someone who lives right near the coast in a city thats below sea level?

    I would venture to guess that to some degree we can control the weather. HARP is thought to have an affect on the weather. Just do a google search. I don't know all the technicalities to it but it puntures a hole in the atmosphere so that certain modes of communication can be sent throughout the world.

    This might have something to do with the weather as a side effect. Now do I think this hurricane has anything to do with that, no. I think that we're do for a new ice age. The precursor to that is wierd abnormalities for weather for example having record hot summers, or cold winters, or droughts, or flooding, or in this case record hurricane seasons.

    Just check out western europes weather in the last year. They are greatly effected by weather changes as their weather is greatly dictated by the jet streams and ocean currents that bring warm air during the winter.

    They have had record cold winters in the last few years. I think something like "Day After Tommorrow" is going to happen in the next 200 years. Do a google search on global warming or ice age.

    In short, no.

    Why?

    Weather is simply the redistrubtion of energy through the earth's oceans and atmospheres. We have but the faintest grasp on how things work in regards the the entire atmosphere and how it interacts with the hydrosphere and the crust of the earth.

    Katrina did a lot of things that were unusual, but for the most part it acted like a normal - albeit very strong - hurricane. The path it took made complete sense when you look at the flow pattern in the mid levels of the atmosphere. The mid levels contain the steering currents that usually guide hurricanes and other subtropical storms. Many of the unusual things may be perfectly normal, but we've only been collecting data for a very short time

    The reason we can't forcast these storms is because of the complexity of the systems. It is akin to watching a pot of boiling water and trying to figure out the exact path each bubble is going to take to the surface.

    Those storms serve a purpose. They transfer energy from one place that is overloaded with it. They are destructive, but unless we ever achieve a uniformly heated atmostphere along with uniformly shaped and heated oceans, and uniform shaped and heated landmasses, you are not going to be able to control the weather.

    The good news with every one of these storms we are able to monitor, we learn more. The have airplanes, buoys, satellites, radar stations, ballons, ships, and probably even pigeons that all have data to collect. That data will be analyzed and in turn can be used for the forecast models.

    Already this year forecast models are doing much better than last year. That is because of the info we gathered last year during the storms. It builds up each year. We get a better grasp on how things work each year and in turn can predict how it will act.

    But as far as controlling the weather? I don't think we'll see that in our lifetimes if ever.
