Originally posted by Achos I don't believe they have technology that can create or destroy rainclouds, if they did then why are Western countries like Australia and the UK allowed to go into severe drought?? Wouldn't our governments use the technology on their own countries to increase rainfall? I suspect Ahmedinejad has been spending too much time here on ATS...
Cloud seeding, a form of intentional weather modification, is the attempt to change the amount or type of precipitation that falls from clouds, by dispersing substances into the air that serve as cloud condensation or ice nuclei, which alter the microphysical processes within the cloud. The usual intent is to increase precipitation (rain or snow), but hail and fog suppression are also widely practiced in airports.

Ahmadinejad just exhibits traits typical of any authoritarian leader. When things work, take the credit and when it does not work then blame “the West”.
However, the fact that we ridicule Ahmadinejad for his silliness is irrelevant because he’s preaching to an indoctrinated community who lap up his every word as fact.
Ahmadinejad and his ilk can pop an angry mob out of the bag at a whim. The flags the mob burns on the day are provided, alongside the lighter fuel and the every present press.

You raise a good point, it is very Ironic. But regardless of the irony, what are your thoughts on the possibility of nations using weather modification against it's enemies, or even it's own people?

Now if I was a less educated man I would say that Iran is crazy.
Well Ahmadinejad is certainly crazy...on his best days.
But is he wrong?
Maybe not...

I have to agree. If the ability to do it did exist what would he do to stop them? Say someone is stealing his rain? It makes him sound even more crazier. It would be win win if true.
Stealing rain? I'm not sure you fully grasp the OP. He's saying we are using bio-engineering. One does not steal rain.
I'm getting really worried about amount of brainwashy comments on here.

It's called altering the weather. If we had capabilities to alter weather on this scale we would make rain clouds. I am sorry you can't follow along.
The Weather Modification Association (WMA) was organized in 1950 to cultivate a better understanding of weather modification techniques, impacts, and expectations among program sponsors, program operators, and the scientific community, and to promote ethical professional conduct and a free exchange of information. Weather modification can be both planned, as is the case in cloud seeding (cloud modification), or inadvertent, for example, when pollution affects visibility. Planned (deliberate) weather modification is also commonly known cloud seeding, cloud modification, and atmospheric water management. The WMA fields a wide variety of inquiries, from domestic and foreign governmental agencies, to the student doing a report for the classroom. If you cannot find the information you are seeking on this site, please contact us at [email protected]. As well, we can be reached by mail or phone at:

Is there even the remotest chance this could be true? Or does the country involved bias your opinion?

If the US could do such we would not be having severe droughts. I know you love proIranian and antiAmerican stuff, but a few facts and a smidgeon of common sense goes a long way.

Mahmoud may have a point here. If certain powers were able to control the weather there is no doubt in my mind that they would use it against their enemies. There are many rumored ways to modify the weather such as HAARP and geo-engineering. I'm not a hundred percent convinced on these practices but I approach the subject with an open mind.
It is rumored that Tesla was able to manipulate the weather so if he could do it then it's a sure shot bet we can do it now much more effectively. I also remember Iran and China being with severe earthquakes and drought various times while other regions seem unscathed.
Like I said, I'm not saying I'm sold on this theory but could Mahmoud have a point or is he just crazy?
