Best line (paraphrasing) The idea of controlling the weather use to be believed to be in the realm of Gods and magicians but now we think we can do it too.
Next best line (paraphrasing) The people for geo-engineering want me to believe that the same creature that can't control how many chili dogs he intakes should be in control of the weather.
Climate Change is a good reason for wanting to be able to control the weather. However after looking at the last century people's responsibility with technology and weapons I'm not all that optimistic.
Ionizing the air is an insane idea. I don't care if it is Russian technology or not. Stay away from this.
There is a treated since the Vietnam war to not use weather modification in Hostile ways... war, weapons, military, etc I imagine. The things I learn we have treaties for. I'm surprised to learn they use weather modification during the Vietnam war.
Instead of telling Nixon not make corporations and the country to stop putting more pollution into the air they decide hey lets do some crazy geo-engineering scheme so we don't have to actually be responsible.
Interesting subject.
