Weather modification—should we be playing God?
It seems like less and less people are outdoors these days. And when they are, they often are looking down at their phones instead of enjoying the beauty of God’s creation. It seems not too many people are concerned with the constant weather modification planes leaving streaks in the sky on a near daily basis. We have questions. What if this technology fell into the hands of the wrong people—people that didn’t particularly like Americans? What could these weather modifications do to our ecosystem, or even yet, our bodies? If they can control the weather, why are there more hurricanes now more than ever? What happens if you continually block the sun with these hazy man-made clouds? Why do they create such gorgeous pink and orange sunsets? Why does someone want to manipulate a creation made by a perfect Creator? How much money might be involved in this operation? Who is ultimately funding it? What are these chemicals doing to our water, soil? With “climate change” being such a scary topic from so many on the left, why are they not up in arms about this man-made climate change? Can this create climate change? Could this be the tool to initiate a much-needed crisis for funding a Green New Deal or instituting a carbon tax? There are so many questions and most people don’t look up to see what’s going on. We won’t call them chemtrails or we’d be called a crazy conspiracy theorist. But we’re not calling them contrails either (condensation trails). We know they are not contrails because of the information from actual cloudseeding companies that admit they are putting salt and other products in the air.
According to the website of the Texas Weather Modification Association, the first “hint” of the potential of human activity to alter the behavior of clouds came just after the Civil War, when civil engineer Edward Powers made the observation that rainstorms often occurred where major battles between Union and Confederate troops were waged. The immense smoke, dust, and other particulate matter put into the air during conflict seemed to invigorate clouds to rain more. Weather Modification has been tried since 1891 in Texas, the first attempt by patent attorney Robert Dyrenforth, who was given a $2,000 grant by the U.S. Congress to do a series of rain making experiments near Midland. Severe droughts have driven the need for weather modification since it’s beginning, and the current attempt is no exception. Ground based generators have been used in several parts of the state over the years; then airplanes were tried, delivering dry ice, and then flares, and generators producing silver iodide particles. Entrepreneur C. W. Post, founder of the Post cereal company, established a “beach-head” along the Caprock, at present-day Post, Texas during the early 1910’s to experiment with explosives to disturb promising rain clouds. Post and his team of researchers conducted numerous trials during 19111914, using dynamite strategically placed just below and along the Caprock. While rain fell on some days, the results of the experiments were never conclusive. Numerous “rain-making” endeavors sprouted in Texas during the terrible drought of the 1950’s. Some of the
