DailyDirt: Don't Just Talk About The Weather...
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
As the saying goes, nobody seems to do anything about changing the weather. Well, there actually are some people trying to control the weather. (And global climate change could be an inadvertent way that people are changing the weather, too.) So there are a lot of big problems that look unsolvable, but maybe if enough people work on them, we'll find solutions. Here are just some quick examples.
- NASA could make it rain when it tested space shuttle rocket engines in the wetlands of Mississippi. Hydrogen fuel burned with oxygen produces water, but just adding water to the atmosphere doesn't necessarily produce a rainstorm. [url]
- China tried to control the weather around Beijing before the Summer Olympics of 2008. "Tried" is perhaps the key word, since weather modification isn't quite an exact science just yet. But then again, it didn't rain during the opening and closing ceremonies in 2008.... [url]
- Geoengineering climate change is even more ambitious -- and potentially dangerous. But given that the world hasn't stopped its CO2 emissions, it doesn't really hurt to put together some plans for correcting our atmospheric mistakes (whether or not they'll be needed). [url]

Controlling Climate Change??
If we really want to control the weather, we'd better start learning how to control the output from the sun.

Re: Controlling Climate Change??
Seriously, the way the weather seems to be all screwed up lately, I get the feeling that "someone" (insert your favorite conspirator here) has been trying to without fully understanding the consequences...

Atmospheric Phenomenon
I scanned a newspaper article on October 3, 2008 because of a very disturbing dream I had previous to seeing it. In my dream, I witnessed very strange clouds that formed over Jerusalem.
I write about the details of this dream in my book, The Prostitute: Who Came in From the Cold, as if it were the main character that had seen it. The book is a ‘fictional novel’, but not all the content is fictional; much of it is quite 'techy' and the dream was real.
