to control the weather in the Middle East, scientists working for the United Arab Emirates government artificially created rain where rain is generally nowhere to be found. The $11 million project, which began in July, put steel lampshade-looking ionizers in the desert to produce charged particles. The negatively charged ions rose with the hot air, attracting dust. Moisture then condensed around the dust and eventually produced a rain cloud. A bunch of rain clouds.

But it's nice to think that we can blame it all on a secret technology that absolves us of our responsibility in maintaining the environment of this planet so we can continue to BE the problem instead of part of the solution. And that is all we can do, be a part.

The simulator is 1.5 metres in diameter and is mounted on a frame that is 2.3 metres tall and 5 metres wide. It can generate maximum wind velocity of 15 to 20 metres per second, enough to simulate an F3-size storm.

I fail to see how you can make the leap
enough to simulate an F3-size storm. On Japan's Fujita Scale, an F3 storm is one powerful enough to uproot large trees, lift and hurl cars, knock down walls and destroy steel-frame structures.

I don't have to, it's in the article. Did you see the word "simulate?"
A real F3 does that. A real F3 also has wind speeds of 158-206 mph. The toynado does not.
In an effort to understand how extreme weather causes structural damage, four Japanese organisations – the National Institute for Land and Infrastructure Management (NILIM), the Building Research Institute, the University of Tokyo and the Disaster Prevention Research Institute at Kyoto University – have been developing a tornado simulator .
Kikitsu and his team plan to test the device by building model houses that fit under his simulator.

Kept the OP deliberately conspiracy-source free though...and even then the debunkers will find something wrong with it

Not too difficult in this case.
