    Did someone seriously take time to consider the garbage pouring from the mouths of those people? Same people gibbering about space lasers, drinking lye and whatever? They say ANYTHING to spread their hate and further their goals. I grow tired how people continue to be surprised how despicable they continue to prove themselves and seem to think their words hold any value. I hope none with skill to do anything worthwhile took any time to look into this instead of doing something more worthy, even taking a shit.

    MAGA does not believe in science but they sure believe in them Jewish space lasers.

    Of course we do!
    It’s called the Fossil Fuel Industry.
    It’s slow and not well targeted. But if you have a century to put into the project, you can do some real damage.

      And it’s not like you have to put the full effort in, Mother Nature will do a lot of the rest if you just push the boulder a bit to get it rolling. Humans are not the only cause of climate change, they simply were the catalyst to get it going. Which also means that if we did the unthinkable and stopped all emissions now and forever, the boulder is still rolling down the hill now. It’s why Net Zero™ is just greenwashing and not some solution.

    I mean… I’m pretty sure we could if we tried. It just wouldn’t be able to manipulate them much.

    Like… what if we built, like, a really big wall to stop the wind? Used lasers to heat it up? Throw thumbtacks into it to make it SPIKY?

    But they do have the technology to manipulate large masses of morons into believing that anthropogenic climate change isn’t real, so that they can continue belching millions of tons of CO2 & Methane into the atmosphere, to make those hurricanes worse.

    The cross section of people who will read this and those who need to read it is basically nonexistent. But seriously, who’s spreading this particular bag of crazy? Russia? China? Iran? Israel?

    Not saying this would be realistic, but it’s hard to believe a tsar Bomba sized detonation in the eye of a hurricane wouldn’t do something to destabilize the storm.

    That said it boggles the mind to consider the system energy of a large storm.

    So on one hand, I don’t believe for a second that these hurricanes had any kind of man made cause (other than climate change) but on the other hand, I almost expect certain militaries to have these kinds of capabilities.

        I’m talking about secret military weapons, not using nukes. I understand the amount of energy necessary to stop them, I’m picturing something that can either seed or amplify them.

        I sometimes go down the rabbit hole of crazy military weapons and past projects. I can’t imagine the amount of money they have dumped into all kinds of weather control weapons.

        It’s like the Jewish space laser thing. Clearly MTG is a crack pot mixing fear and antisemitism to flirt with her base, but what are the chances the military doesn’t have lasers up there? The government that was doing mass surveillance on the whole country shies away from adding a laser or two to their spy satellites or using natural disasters as a weapon?

          Best way to amplify a hurricane is to pump in more heat energy. The link I posted mentioned the amount of energy already in a storm (10 Mt worth of a nuclear bomb every 20 mins) , so to get a 1% increase in damage, that’s still a huge amount of energy that being silently put in somewhere. Into a storm that you still can’t direct to a particular place, since that’s the entire weather system steering it.

          I get your point, the military is going to have stuff that the public isn’t aware of until years from now, just like before. But there’s also physics and limits to even what would look magic to us right now.

          I think lasers were looked at and aren’t as practical as movies would lead you to think, especially through an atmosphere at distance. Now perhaps that’s what the military wants us to think while they have a bunch standing by, but somehow they keep scientists who work with laser daily quiet about the capabilities, even pretending there are limits in non-military uses.
