"Climate change" is a political fraud fabricated to justify the weaponization of weather modification technology known as geoengineering.

Friday, Aug 25th, 2017:  Looking at the SSEC Watervapor map on a 28 hour loop, we see that hurricane Harvey was being targeted with microwave RF sufficient to temporarily destroy the eyewall’s organization at two separate times in this loop as the storm advanced in a Northeast path toward Texas. In the previous two videos we show the distinct markings of the microwave transmitter targeting Harvey, superheating various areas near its center which generate pressure waves and ‘blast’ patterns while disrupting the convective process in the storm.

What verifiable evidence do you have that the radar anomaly was caused specifically by man-made microwave beams? Please don't say, "we have no other explanation for it, therefore it had to be man-made microwave beams", because that would be the argument from ignorance fallacy. Fallacies prove nothing. How about giving us some verifiable evidence that these weather modification satellites exist in the first place?

I'm not asking for some reference to a vague program from the past for which we have no confirmation that it ever reached the scale you propose. I'm asking for unambiguous evidence that these satellites exist now and have the ability to control hurricanes. I'm asking for evidence that is verifiable and does not invoke any kind of fallacious logic. I have yet to see you provide this kind of evidence.

A search of that patent didn't bring up the term "HAARP" even once. Give us evidence that HAARP is indeed capable of altering the weather on the scale that you propose. Just for the sake of argument, even if part of the original intention of the HAARP program was to alter the weather, that doesn't mean that they were actually able to pull it off in any significant manner. People have tried to use silver iodide to modify the weather but the results were ambiguous at best. How do you know HAARP didn't turn out the same way? Falling short of expectations and instead being used for other purposes? Show some definitive link between HAARP and any given weather event.

The energy available to HAARP is far too small to conceivably have any important effect on something like a hurricane. The facility can produce a radio signal with 3.6 million watts of power, whereas the average hurricane releases around 600 trillion watts of heat energy: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/earth/hurricane-power.html (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/earth/hurricane-power.html). That means HAARP has only 0.0000006% of the power output of an average hurricane (making the hurricane 167 million times more powerful). That's like comparing the power output of a candle to that of some power plants.

The HAARP ionospheric heater may intensify tropical hurricanes and geomagnetic storms through geometric modulation:

Quote
Geometric Modulation

Instead of modulating the power of the HF array, and thus not using it at its maximum power, geometric modulation relies on leaving the array on, but moving the beam across the sky at the ELF frequency. Figure 2 shows some examples where the beam can sweep a line or circle in the sky. Each portion of the ionosphere is effectively being heated at the ELF frequency. The heated area is larger which results in larger overall ELF power, and there is phasing between each heated region, which can impart some directionality to the radiated ELF (Cohen et al., 2008; Cohen et al., 2010).

See: http://vlf.stanford.edu/research/experiments-haarp-ionospheric-heater

Note also that High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) is supported by the US Air Force Research Laboratory.

That's not what the Stanford link is saying. If you use geometric modulation rather than carrier modulation it only allows you to get closer to the carrier power, it doesn't increase the HAARP maximum power above that quoted by Kryptid. It is still far too small to have an effect.

Also, the video shows no evidence of any microwave activity, everything in the video is standard meteorological activity.

Incorrect. You don't need much electromagnetic power to generate enhanced precipitations (rainfall) ...

A geomagnetic storm is a complex process: its various features act at different heights. In the F2 layer the midlatitude effect is basically an ionospheric response to storm-induced changes in the neutral atmosphere, which are primarily a consequence of a strong Joule heating in the auroral thermosphere. At lower heights the role of ionization and photochemical processes increases due to shorter electron lifetimes. At the base of the F1 layer (160-170 km) the storm effect is almost absent. At E -region maximum a complex action of several factors results in a slight decrease of foF2, even though below and above, the electron density increases. Farther down, in the lower ionosphere, a strong increase of the electron density is observed as a consequence of a very strong enhancement of particle precipitation.

Why are you stating irrelevancies? The video link you provided claims, not increased precipitation, but a major disruption to the hurricane wall and a significant diversion of its path. That requires significant energy input as stated previously.

http://elpub.wdcb.ru/journals/ijga/v02/gai99312/gai99312.htm (http://elpub.wdcb.ru/journals/ijga/v02/gai99312/gai99312.htm)
Again you quote irrelevancies. This paper does not support your assertions. As Bored Chemist states "A geomagnetic storm has access to enormous power." In 1989, a geomagnetic storm produced ground induced currents that disrupted the electric power system throughout most of the province of Quebec and caused aurorae as far south as Texas. That is a lot of power.

Nowhere does this say that this somehow heats any portion of the atmosphere more than 3.6 megawatts of power should normally allow. That would violate the first law of thermodynamics. You can't get something from nothing. How would heating the ionosphere, which starts at 60 kilometers up, strengthen a storm which resides in the troposphere which ends 20 kilometers up? That's not how hurricanes work. Hurricanes derive their strength from the evaporation of warm sea water. If you want to strengthen a hurricane, you'd add heat below it not above it.

Quote
Incorrect. You don't need much electromagnetic power to generate enhanced precipitations (rainfall) ...

Electromagnetic energy cannot magically create extra water vapor in the atmosphere nor can it cause water vapor that is already present to condense into water droplets. The act of water vapor turning into liquid water requires the water vapor to release heat into the surrounding environment. Heating the air with electromagnetic radiation is going to make this process more difficult, not easier. Why do you think you can turn water from a gas into a liquid by heating it up? That goes against even elementary school physics.

You are completely misreading this. The "precipitation" being spoken of here is not rain. Rain does not come from the ionosphere, it comes from the much lower troposphere. That alone should have told you it wasn't talking about rain. The precipitation in question is subatomic particles. Just how much of that article did you even read? Look here:

Quote
The lower ionosphere ( h < 100 km) responds very dramatically to geomagnetic storms [e.g., Lastovicka, 1988, 1996]. Its electron concentration is considerably enhanced, particularly in the auroral zone, which results in a large increase of radio wave absorption and, eventually, in the disappearance of radio signal in MF/HF ranges. This enhancement of electron density is caused by a strong increase of precipitation of energetic particles, mainly electrons of energies of tens to hundreds kiloelectron volts.

In reply to @Kryptid: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1006/asle.2001.0043/full

This is, admittedly, an interesting article. However, it demonstrates correlation, not causation. Instead of changes in the magnetosphere being the cause of strengthening hurricanes, it could be that cosmic ray and solar wind fluxes are themselves directly responsible for hurricane strengthening. Some other cause could also be responsible. More data would be needed to tell the difference. Besides, microwaves do not behave in the same way as charged particle radiation from solar wind or cosmic rays.

If by "thinking different" you mean "thinking irrationally" then this is exactly what you are doing. It is the equivalent of seeing branches broken in the woods and concluding that Bigfoot broke them because some people say they have seen Bigfoot in your country before. It takes many unwarranted leaps of logic to connect those broken branches to Bigfoot, much as you are making many unwarranted leaps of logic to connect Hurricane Harvey to HAARP.

To think differently does not imply to think irrationally. It just means to have the genuine ability to make your own theories and to defend them logically from your perspective.

I think plenty of people come up with their own hypotheses. I certainly have. During college, I independently thought up the Scharnhorst effect during lunch one day (although the Scharnhorst effect hasn't been verified yet). Coming up with a hypothesis doesn't automatically imply that one is able to logically defend it in accordance with existing evidence, however. Go look at that thread started by TheBox about gravity being caused by electromagnetism, for example.

Even if it turned out that climate change wasn't happening, it would not mean that humans have invented weather-control technology. That would be the argument from ignorance fallacy.

There is no reason to suppose that Harvey was "geoenginered" any more than these ones

My initial question is: "Is Hurricane Harvey evidence of geoengineering"?
No, it's just a hurricane.
We have known about them for centuries- well before there was any possibility of geoengineering.

You have no proof that this geomagnetic storm did not happened because of directed ULF/VLF signaling
in the ionosphere. This hurricane was the signature of a frankenstorm; not your typical hurricane.

You  have no proof that it wasn't caused by masses of invisible unicorns farting.
But it would be just as foolish to think that was the cause as it would be to leap to the conclusion that it was caused by geoengineering..

You should learn some ideas like the nature of evidence and the burden of proof before you try posting on grown-up science web sites.

Interesting that you mention the Scharnhorst effect.  Would it not be equally valid to think that we don’t actually know the speed of light in a complete vacuum?  All we know is the speed of light in the “quantum soup” we call the vacuum.

If I remember correctly, I once plugged some of the equations into a spreadsheet and found that you can get the speed of light all the way up to infinity with sufficiently close Casimir plate separations. However, I'm a little doubtful that would work in practice.

You have no proof that this geomagnetic storm did not happened because of directed ULF/VLF signaling

No, no, no! This must be the third time I've told you that you can't do this. You are shifting the burden of proof. You don't tell your opponents to disprove your claim: you have to prove it. Would you assume that Bigfoot exists solely because he hasn't been proven not to exist? That is faulty reasoning.

Based on what reasoning? Nothing about Hurricane Harvey was beyond nature's ability to produce. There have been tropical cyclones in the past that have exceeded Harvey in every way: wind speed, diameter, rainfall, the works.

On the international news tonight, the Asia reporter commented that the recent floods in Asia were 8 times more severe than Hurricane Harvey.

Unfortunately, I missed the measure he was using for this comparison, but I got the impression he was talking about water volume.

Of course, the annual monsoon that affects a continent would dump a lot more water than a relatively local hurricane...

Geomagnetic storms are well-studied. One in March 1989 blacked out much of Quebec, and caused auroras as far south as Florida. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_1989_geomagnetic_storm

Since then, a lot of study has gone into geomagnetic storms, how to measure them, predict them, and how to minimise damage from them.

The power levels are so high, and the frequencies involved are so low that it is currently impossible for humans to generate anything even approaching what the Sun can do (and has done).

So I don't think that hurricane Harvey was a geomagnetic storm. It was a weather storm.

You can find a lot of current information here, in a rather accessible form: http://spaceweather.com/

Its quite simple. You simply need to visualize ionospheric ULF/VLF signal propagation (heat) during and after the storm for Corpus Christi (and Houston). You may find out that the distance (D) between Corpus Christi and Houston matches the relative intensity (RI) of ionospheric heat for this precise geolocation.

Harvey was not a geomagnetic storm.
Hurricanes and geomagnetic storms are totally different phenomena with totally different causes, the only thing they have in common is the name storm. Whoever is feeding you misinformation doesn't understand the difference and certainly doesn't understand hurricanes.
Take the example of the video you linked to. The narrator describes 2 disruptions to the eye wall - claimed to be due to geoengineering - however, as I said earlier, these are natural events in normal hurricanes. You have to forget the cartoon graphics of hurricanes and realise that these are dynamic systems in which the eyewall is in constant change. In a strong hurricane like Harvey rainbands spiral in from the outside and form multiple eyewalls, the central eyewall will then disappear (appearing to be disrupted) and be replaced by the outer wall. Known as the eyewall replacement cycle this can have serious consequence as the power of the hurricane can increase dramatically following such a replacement and if it occurs before landfall the damage can be substantially magnified.

All storms are ionospheric by nature. The lower ionosphere produces stratospheric storms, heat, and rainfall.
This is also misinformation. Stratospheric storms are not ionospheric. The lower band of the ionosphere is significantly above the top of the stratosphere and does not produce any stratospheric weather storms or rainfall.
Another piece of misinformation is that heating the upper layers will increase the power of a hurricane. Hurricanes are heat engines, in conditions ideal for a rapid increase in strength - high water temperatures and low wind shear - warm moist air rises and then cools, releasing heat, to fall and recirculate into the base of the hurricane. This cooling and recirculation is essential for the continuation of the cycle and any heating of the upper layers would disrupt the process and weaken the hurricane.

Note the patent I linked is fully describing the method and apparatus used for "altering a region in the [ionosphere]":

Quote
The region is excited by electron cyclotron resonance heating to thereby increase its charged particle density. In one embodiment, circularly polarized electromagnetic radiation is transmitted upward in a direction substantially parallel to and along a field line which extends through the region of plasma to be altered. The radiation is transmitted at a frequency which excites electron cyclotron resonance to heat and accelerate the charged particles. This increase in energy can cause ionization of neutral particles which are then absorbed as part of the region thereby increasing the charged particle density of the region.

The original question here is not whether climate change causes hurricane intensification, but whether artificial heating of the ionosphere can.
Currently you have not provided any evidence of a connection between the elf in the ionosphere and hurricanes.
Hurricanes exist in the troposphere and reach a height of around 12-16km. The ionosphere lies between 75 and 1000km. Any artificial heating or modification of the ionosphere would be reduced by inverse square law to minuscule levels by the time it reached the hurricane.

You just don't understand that the fabrication of climate change theory is to justify the weaponization of weather modification technology. Meanwhile, I still expecting an intelligent explanation to the question: "How climate change may cause hurricanes intensity changes and enhanced rainfall"?

Okay, so now you think there is a worldwide conspiracy to falsify global temperature data...

...is to justify the weaponization of weather modification technology.

...in addition to a conspiracy to secretly control the weather. You also think there is a conspiracy to use smartphones  to read our minds. Why should we believe you when you cry "conspiracy" about anything?

Meanwhile, I still expecting an intelligent explanation to the question: "How climate change may cause hurricanes intensity changes and enhanced rainfall"?

An elementary school student could answer that question. Warmer oceans cause increased evaporation of water, putting more moisture and latent heat energy into the atmosphere. It's basic physics. Unless you think physics is a conspiracy too? Like I've said before, even if we did not have the climate change explanation, that wouldn't mean that geoengineering is the correct explanation. This isn't an "either/or" scenario. That's a false dichotomy. It could have turned out that both climate change and geoengineering were the wrong explanation. This is why you cannot say "climate change is a hoax, therefore stronger hurricanes are caused by technology". That's the argument from ignorance fallacy. Failure for your opponent to support their argument is not evidence that your argument is the correct one. Both sides have to provide their own independent evidence.

Any artificial heating or modification of the ionosphere would be reduced by inverse square law to minuscule levels by the time it reached the hurricane.

Lots f pretty pictures. But they look like hurricanes always did.
So what's the evidence that this one is in any way "special"?


If a superhurricane is the signature of climate change, something is terribly wrong with this theory.

OK, first off, you forgot to answer the question.
"So what's the evidence that this one is in any way "special"?"


Secondly, re. "If a superhurricane is the signature of climate change, something is terribly wrong with this theory." that's a big  "if".
Weather is fundamentally driven  by the Sun's heat.
Coupling more of the Sun's IR into the atmosphere by adding more CO2 which absorbs that energy will produce more severe weather.
So we would expect to see more  big hurricanes.

We have more CO2.
We have more big storms.

What's wrong with the theory?

Mankind has no  technology  powerful enough to meaningfully  influence the behaviour of a hurricane.
" Total energy released through cloud/rain formation:
An average hurricane produces 1.5 cm/day (0.6 inches/day) of rain inside a circle of radius 665 km (360 n.mi) (Gray 1981). (More rain falls in the inner portion of hurricane around the eyewall, less in the outer rainbands.) Converting this to a volume of rain gives 2.1 x 10^16 cm3/day. A cubic cm of rain weighs 1 gm. Using the latent heat of condensation, this amount of rain produced gives
5.2 x 10^19 Joules/day or
6.0 x 10^14 Watts.

This is equivalent to 200 times the world-wide electrical generating capacity - an incredible amount of energy produced!"

Apart from that, there's nothing scientific to say about it.
So, we can- by the OP's own reckoning- close the thread.

Here is an interesting excerpt from the paper:

Quote
The desirability to modify storms to support military objectives is the most aggressive and
controversial type of weather-modification. The damage caused by storms is indeed horrendous. For
instance, a tropical storm has an energy equal to 10,000 one-megaton hydrogen bombs,18 and in 1992
Hurricane Andrew totally destroyed Homestead AFB, Florida, caused the evacuation of most military
aircraft in the southeastern US, and resulted in $15.5 billion of damage. However, as one would expect
based on a storm’s energy level, current scientific literature indicates that there are definite physical limits on
mankind’s ability to modify storm systems
. By taking this into account along with political, environmental,
economic, legal, and moral considerations, we will confine our analysis of storms to localized thunderstorms
and thus do not consider major storm systems such as hurricanes or intense low-pressure systems.

This is exactly what we've been saying all along.

It does not say that Hurricane Harvey itself was seeded, it says a mere two clouds were seeded. Regardless, I'm not aware of any studies that have conclusively demonstrated the cloud seeding can effectively change the strength or precipitation rate of tropical cyclones. Their size would probably make it impractical.

This geoengineering activity brought to you courtesy of Trans-Pecos Weather Modification Association, one day before Hurricane Harvey...

Anyways, I just do not believe in pure coincidences or in mainstream media neuropolitics about the sudden rise of superhurricanes.

We are expected to believe in all the pseudoscientific voodoo about man-made climate change without questioning its scientific validity. The weaponization of geoengineering and the neuro-narratives of climate change are just two sides of the same coin.

@Kryptid, you are forgetting that cloud seeding is a tested and patented technology used for precipitation enhancement. A important thing we're not sure yet is whether thoses [stratospheric] aerosol injections are used for enhancing rainfall on a global level or just in Texas.

I have decided to lock this thread. Nothing good can come of it at this point.

The consensus (with the notable exception of the original poster) is that:
• There is no evidence of "tampering" with Harvey
and
• The scientific principles involved with storm engineering are well beyond our ken, and even if we knew what we were doing, the sheer size and energy involved would dwarf our technological capabilities

None of the conspiracy theories, conjectures, or claims relating to storm engineering have any basis in scientifically established (establishable) fact, and largely depends on misrepresentation of selected and unrelated studies

Since this discussion stalled out long ago but still appears to be taking oxygen from the rest of the forum, I am locking the thread.
