I wonder who "they" are in this case? The Jews with the space lasers?

Technically, we do have the ability to control the weather. We’re currently warming the earth but nuclear winter is always available!

Don't give them ideas. You think people who wanted to inject bleach won't consider this as a viable option?

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 11 months ago

I'm perfectly happy to let anyone be in control of any nukes they want as long as they inject the bleach into themselves first. Then leave it like 10 minutes.

I'd say we affect the weather, but we don't seem to be in control.

What is this, AA for climate engineering?

Thanks, Leela

No. We can control the climate, not the weather. We can make flooding and draughts more likely, but cannot pick a date and time.

We can seed clouds but that's about it... And even that is just precipitating existing humidity. We can't create rain if the air is dry.

We also can't, for example, make it snow in summer, create or control tornados, lightning, hurricanes, hail, etc.

Yea there’s a bit of hysteresis in this system.
