For anyone confused where these ideas originated from, I found out some articles from NOAA stuff like these:
https://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/hrd_sub/modification.html
And I think in Wikipedia there were statement about using laser to warm the water a few degrees to pervent storms from forming..
I thought one of the main drivers of these storms WAS warm water? How would adding more energy into the system lessen the storm?
Thank you. This is the stuff we should all one made aware of. Some of the craziest conspiracies are founded in some truth. This is why I find it so concerning. It doesn't take much effort for some people to become believers in the theory that "climate change" is a hoax.
Because information travels at the speed of light and crazy headlines like this are attention grabbers, millions more people are exposed to mistruths. This is why we are where we are today. Misleading headlines. Social media. Engagement algorithms. It doesn't matter how smart you are or what your politics are. I see misleading headlines and stories written all day every day. Then people just go to the comment section to "inform" themselves without reading the article or the source material or the entire context of a video clip, etc.
