Who Is Controlling The Weather?

Here’s a comment that was left earlier to another entry. Because this isn’t the first time I’ve gotten something like this, and we all get these forwarded to us, I might as well add my two cents.

On an unrelated (weather subject), I heard reference to this site, on the George Norney (Coast to Coast AM radio program). The person being interviewed, Richard Hoagland, contended that “someone” is trying to minimize the potential impact of hurricane Wilma. The link shows, to a non weather guy, a unique bright red band of storms. Hoagland contends that is evidence that “someone” is artificially trying to sap the energy of Wilma, before it might become a cat 5!

Geoff –Any comments?

This kind of electronic noise often appears on imagery. Part of my ‘real’ job is to look for this stuff and not show it, because it’s misleading.

Here’s what the website that hosts these images says:

The individual images that are used as input into this product sometimes contain bad data in the form of missing scanlines or anamalously high or low values that often stretch in an arc across the image. When these areas are incorporated into the MIMIC product they form artifacts that fade in and out, and appear to move with the storm center. However, they have no physical meaning and hopefully they will not obstruct your interpretation of the imagery.

Before you listen to anyone who says we can control the weather, understand the power of these storms. When a hurricane stretches over hundreds of miles and reaches up vertically through the atmosphere, that’s a lot mass being dragged around.

Clouds look pretty and seem weightless to us on the ground, but they are real physical objects with real mass. There is nothing we have… probably nothing we can conceive of at the moment, that has the power to affect something this immense.

There will always be people with off center ideas who are willing to exploit the unknown by assigning meanings to meaningless observations. In other words, they’re full of crap.

  1. When someone can’t even get the name of the host (George Noory) of the overnight bull session for whackjobs right, I wouldn’t even spend this much time dismissing them.

  2. Geoff-

    Thanks for your most informative, fact based reply. I will next invest in a spell checker that properly corrects Noory.

  3. This Noory show is an educational menace. I can’t believe it is probably the leading overnight syndicated AM show… In NYC, there’s no good local overnight.

  4. I am asking your opinion on the HAARP program and it’s implications of weather control. After reading about this technology, it seems as though we do have the technology to affect weather. I am also aware of the laws the United Nations enacted to keep nations from using this technology against one another. The DoD is interested in the advantages this technology can have on an enemy. Am I naive?
