The "cloud ships" are favoured among a series of schemes aimed at altering the climate which have been weighed up by a leading think-tank. The project, which is being worked on by rival US and UK scientists, would see 1,900 wind-powered ships ply the oceans sucking up seawater and spraying minuscule droplets of it out through tall funnels to create large white clouds.

Hey I know, let's try...something...anything! It works great on paper (did I mention my brother-in-law owns a shipyard?).
Exercises in futility, all.
Of course the Earth has been through thousands of warming and cooling cycles. What's creating such a ruckus is that this is our warming cycle, it's affecting us.

Is it affecting us as much as we are told to believe it is? Or is it our pollution and use of weapons such as HAARP that are creating the dangerous changes we witness?

2) Our pollution may (or may not) have something to do with it. HAARP is not a weapon, cannot, and does not affect climate.
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for altering at least one selected region which normally exists above the earth's surface. The region is excited by electron cyclotron resonance heating of electrons which are already present and/or artifically created in the region to thereby increase the charged particle energy and ultimately the density of the region.
In one embodiment this is done by transmitting circularly polarized electromagnetic radiation from the earth's surface at or near the location where a naturally-occurring dipole magnetic field (force) line intersects the earth's surface. Right hand circular polarization is used in the northern hemisphere and left hand circular polarization is used in the southern hemisphere. The radiation is deliberately transmitted at the outset in a direction substantially parallel to and along a field line which extends upwardly through the region to be altered. The radiation is transmitted at a frequency which is based on the gyrofrequency of the charged particles and which, when applied to the at least one region, excites electron cyclotron resonance within the region or regions to heat and accelerate the charged particles in their respective helical paths around and along the field line.
This invention has a phenomenal variety of possible ramifications and potential future developments. As alluded to earlier, missile or aircraft destruction, deflection, or confusion could result, particularly when relativistic particles are employed. Also, large regions of the atmosphere could be lifted to an unexpectedly high altitude so that missiles encounter unexpected and unplanned drag forces with resultant destruction or deflection of same. Weather modification is possible by, for example, altering upper atmosphere wind patterns or altering solar absorption patterns by constructing one or more plumes of atmospheric particles which will act as a lens or focusing device. Also as alluded to earlier, molecular modifications of the atmosphere can take place so that positive environmental effects can be achieved. Besides actually changing the molecular composition of an atmospheric region, a particular molecule or molecules can be chosen for increased presence. For example, ozone, nitrogen, etc. concentrations in the atmosphere could be artificially increased. Similarly, environmental enhancement could be achieved by causing the breakup of various chemical entities such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrous oxides, and the like.
US PATENT 4,686,605
High intensity, well controlled electrical fields can be provided in selected locations for various purposes. For example, the plasma sheath surrounding a missile or satellite could be used as a trigger for activating such a high intensity field to destroy the missile or satellite. Further, irregularities can be created in the ionosphere which will interfere with the normal operation of various types of radar, e.g., synthetic aperture radar. The present invention can also be used to create artificial belts of trapped particles which in turn can be studied to determine the stability of such parties. Still further, plumes in accordance with the present invention can be formed to simulate and/or perform the same functions as performed by the detonation of a "heave" type nuclear device without actually having to detonate such a device. Thus it can be seen that the ramifications are numerous, far-reaching, and exceedingly varied in usefulness.

all these cloud ships will succeed in doing is making the dumbed down public believe in man made global warming even more.
It will be all over the news and people will be saying, "oh my god, must be serious!!"
They will spend hundreds of millions of dollars and many many years, then another ice age will happen.
Transmitter 16 is powered by power generator means 17 which is preferably comprised of one or more large, commercial electrical generators. Some embodiments of the present invention require large amounts of power, e.g., up to 10e9 to 10e11 watts, in continuous wave or pulsed power.

The patent is not for HAARP. It is for a "Method and apparatus for altering a region in the earth's atmosphere, ionosphere, and/or magnetosphere".
HAARP is a facility constructed to test the theory behind the patent.
From the patent documents (Note when it says "present invention", it means the invention which is the subject of the patent, not a physical prototype) :

That's 1,000 to 100,000 megawatts. That requires some pretty impressive power generating capacity. A reasonably sized nuclear reactor can put out about 1,000 megawatts. HAARP uses 3.6 megawatts.
Sometime in the future the research being carried out at HAARP might result in some of the things talked about in the patent but the facility itself is far from capable of doing any of them. The best it can do now is "heat" a small portion of the ionosphere directly above the installation.
