Many people becoming concerned about Global Warming/Climate Change may not be aware of the extensive research and practice of weather modification. Many people I have talked to about the Chemtrail issue, struggled at first because they thought that it is not possible to modify our weather – this is understandable as this type of research is kept quiet and played down.
However, the research into weather control has been going on for well over 2 hundred years.
Here is a short historical introduction from Wikipedia on weather modification….
” Magical and religious practices to control the weather are attested in a variety of cultures. In ancient India it is said that yajna or vedic rituals of chanting manthras and offering were performed by rishis to bring sudden bursts of rain fall in rain starved regions. Some American Indians like some Europeans had rituals which they believed could induce rain. The Finnish people, on the other hand, were believed by others to be able to control weather. As a result, Vikings refused to take Finns on their oceangoing raids. (NOTE: Vikings lived in Greenland for approximately 450 years before “the little ice age” onset 14thC, during a period of global warming- mankind flourishes). Remnants of this superstition lasted into the twentieth century, with some ship crews being reluctant to accept Finnish sailors. The early modern era saw people observe that during battles the firing of cannons and other firearms often initiated precipitation. In Greek mythology, Iphigenia was offered as a human sacrifice to appease the wrath of the goddess Artemis, who had becalmed the Achaean fleet at Aulis at the beginning of the Trojan War. In Homer’s Odyssey, Aeolus, keeper of the winds, bestowed Odysseus and his crew with a gift of the four winds in a bag. However, the sailors opened the bag while Odysseus slept, looking for booty, and as a result were blown off course by the resulting gale.[2] In ancient Rome, the lapis manalis was a sacred stone kept outside the walls of Rome in a temple of Mars. When Rome suffered from drought, the stone was dragged into the city.[3] The Berwick witches of Scotland were found guilty of using black magic to summon storms to murder King James VI of Scotland by seeking to sink the ship upon which he travelled.[4] Scandinavian witches allegedly claimed to sell the wind in bags or magically confined into wooden staves; they sold the bags to seamen who could release them when becalmed.[5] In various towns of Navarre, prayers petitioned Saint Peter to grant rain in time of drought. If the rain was not forthcoming, the statue of St Peter was removed from the church and tossed into a river.[6]
From https://www.eolss.net/Sample-Chapters/C01/E4-03-04-08.pdf :
‘It may be thought that a real history of the weather modification began in 1772 when the Bavarian Academy of Sciences declared a prize for any successful way to change weather according to a human need.
In 1886, the Austrian Empire started scientific experiments for anti-hail shooting at the
large scale. At that time, over the whole Europe (Austria, North Italy, Switzerland, France)
the anti-hail shooting from big mortars up to 4 m long was spread. Already in 1900, the
shooting from 10 000 mortars was done just in Italy alone. During the period from 1899 to
1920, six international congresses were held to discuss problems of the anti-hail struggle.
At the congress of 1902, the decision was made to ask governments of Italy and Austria to
assign funds for long-lasting and decisive experiments. They were completed in 1906, and
the results were considered negative in Italy and Austria, although the experiments carried
out did not give definite answer in France.
At the same time, other possible mechanisms (mechanical, sonic, electric) to suppress hail
by bombs and rockets were discussed in details. Chemical effects of the bombs and rockets
were considered too, and it was estimated how the explosion products may become nuclei
of condensation.
‘Fighting against a hail logically suggested a possibility to fight against an adverse weather
in general, and, in particular, against droughts. American general Pauers in his book «War
and Weather» described 137 great battles after which in one or two days a rain occurred.
Although statistics estimated the data presented in Pauers’ book as failing to prove, in
1981, the USA government assigned funds for experiments to generate a rain by
explosions. Three types of means were tested which are: air balloons filled with a fire-damp
gas; bombs filled with dynamite which were lifted by kites and exploded near the ground
with great amount of explosives containing the potassium chloride. Heads of the
expeditions reported on successful results, but meteorologists considered them as the
nullity. After 1982, these experiments were never repeated, and only in 1909, similar attempts were tried in New Zealand.
Certainly, experiments aimed at a solution of the problem of artificial rain generation were
connected with one or other idea on a nature of the atmospheric precipitation. American
experiments were based upon the suggestion that particles from the explosions are nuclei of
condensation, and the sonic waves make small cloud droplets to merge and, thus, to form
rain drops.
Perhaps, American scientists underestimated the air warming caused by intensive
explosions. Still in 1837, the American meteorologist Prof. J. P. Espy proposed the idea of
a possibility to stimulate development of the convective clouds by a heat energy release,
e.g., by burning a wood. On the contrary, Prof. A. Macfarlane proposed to drop the cloud
temperature instead of its rising. Increase of the temperature vertical gradient up to unstable
state of the medium causes vertical flows, and, finally, precipitation, and the amount
obtained depends on a degree of the temperature drop in upper layers. A. Macfarlane
proposed to reduce the air temperature at high levels by evaporation of liquid carbonic acid (CO2).
However, both above approaches in the stable atmosphere required expenditures much
greater than a cost of additional yield achieved. In the past, considerable attention was given to verification of the hypothesis that a change of the atmosphere electric state can make effect on precipitation and a hail generation. At the end of 18th and beginning of 19th centuries, a wide spreading of lightning rods in Europe was followed by repeated attempts to use the rods as hail rods. Different types of the hail rods were proposed, but using of them to fight against a hail proved to be useless.
In 1893, famous physicist F. Arrago suggested to reduce a difference of the potentials by
means of lifting kites or balloons with conducting wires. In 1893, A. Baudouin hoisted
kites with conducting rope up to height 1200 m and asserted that in such cases a fog was
generated and rain drops precipitated. However, numerous experiments in other countries
could not obtain convincing arguments in support of this method.
In 1910, at a meeting of the International Association for Science Development in Sheffield
(Great Britain), when a problem regarding the electrisation influence upon a weather was
discussed, well-known physicist J. J. Thomson reported that, according to his calculations a
moderate amount of electricity is sufficient to modify the weather over a large area.
Now, we know that, in the past, great scientists sometimes made mistakes in their estimates and
forecasts. Many years of theoretical and experimental work were taken to create nowadays
notions of the atmospheric electricity and to estimate realistically its influence upon the
weather and climate. And only at the beginning of 20th century, basic researches of great
scientists A. Vegener, T. Bergeron and U. Findeisen created scientific basis for
development of the weather modification methods. First field experiments for cloud
seeding were carried out as early as in the 1930s.
*Wilhelm Reich performed cloudbusting experiments in the 1950s to 1960s, the results of which are controversial and not widely accepted by mainstream science.
Dr Walter Russell wrote of weather control in Atomic Suicide 1956.”–give him complete power to cause rains, wherever he desires, on deserts or meadows and to dissipate cyclones while forming.”
For the 2008 Olympics, China had plans to utilize 30 airplanes, 4,000 rocket launchers, and 7,000 anti-aircraft guns in an attempt to stop rain. Each system would shoot various chemicals into any threatening clouds in the hopes of shrinking rain drops before they reached the stadium.[7]
In January, 2011, several newspapers and magazines, including the UK’s Sunday Times and Arabian Business, reported that scientists backed by the government of Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, had created over 50 artificial rainstorms between July and August 2010 near Al Ain, a city which lies close to the country’s border with Oman and is the second-largest city in the Abu Dhabi Emirate. The artificial rainstorms were said to have sometimes caused hail, gales and thunderstorms, baffling local residents.[8] The scientists reportedly used ionizers to create the rainstorms, and although the results are disputed, the large number of times it is recorded to have rained right after the ionizers were switched on during a usually dry season is encouraging to those who support the experiment.[9]”
