    "Weather modification technology is in use today by both the United States and the Soviet Union."

    That's as far as I read.

    Climate change deniers are either extreme free marketeers or conspiracy theorists

    Although nearly all domain experts agree that human CO2 emissions are altering the world’s climate, segments of the public remain unconvinced by the scientific evidence. Internet blogs have become a vocal platform for climate denial, and bloggers have taken a prominent and influential role in questioning climate science. We report a survey (N > 1100) of climate blog users to identify the variables underlying acceptance and rejection of climate science. Paralleling previous work, we find that endorsement of a laissez-faire conception of free-market economics predicts rejection of climate science (r .80 between latent constructs). Endorsement of the free market also predicted the rejection of other established scientific findings, such as the facts that HIV causes AIDS and that smoking causes lung cancer. We additionally show that endorsement of a cluster of conspiracy theories (e.g., that the CIA killed Martin-Luther King or that NASA faked the moon landing) predicts rejection of climate science as well as the rejection of other scientific findings, above and beyond endorsement of laissez-faire free markets. This provides empirical confirmation of previous suggestions that conspiracist ideation contributes to the rejection of science. Acceptance of science, by contrast, was strongly associated with the perception of a consensus among scientists.

    I wish we could take the people who claim humans can control climate and put them in one big room with people who claim humans cannot affect climate. Just go fight among yourselves and leave the sane people alone.

    Weather modification seems like a pretty wacky idea. And yet, climate modification sounds perfectly reasonable. What a world we live in, huh?

    Hmm weather modification, no I don't think so, they can't even predict it, let alone cause it.
