In reality, HAARP does neither, but that doesnˇ¦t stop some people.
HAARP is a research program to study the ionosphere. One of the research goals is to study the effect of the ionosphere on long distance
communications, hence the militariesˇ¦ involvement in the program.
There are plenty of theories out there on how HAARP can be used to impact weather. Unfortunately, none of those theories have any basis in science.
Here is a simplified explanation of the energy involved:

I am sorry Howard, but there is an awfull lot of science out there that points in the direction that HAARP is much more than a communications tool.
Below are some scientific realities.

Conclusions
It would be rash to assume that HAARP is an isolated experiment which would not be expanded. It is related to fifty years of intensive and
increasingly destructive programs to understand and control the upper atmosphere.
It would be rash not to associate HAARP with the space laboratory construction which is separately being planned by the United States. HAARP is an
integral part of a long history of space research and development of a deliberate military nature.
The military implications of combining these projects is alarming.
Basic to this project is control of communications, both disruption and reliability in hostile environments. The power wielded by such control is
obvious.
The ability of the HAARP / Spacelab/ rocket combination to deliver a very large amount of energy, comparable to a nuclear bomb, anywhere on earth via
laser and particle beams, are frightening.
The project is likely to be "sold" to the public as a space shield against incoming weapons, or , for the more gullible, a devise for repairing the
ozone layer.
