Apparently, there have been some cloud seeding operations in Texas on august 24.

If theses links are dead let me know, Thanks.

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.

This is neuropolitics in action my friend. :)

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.

Irrelevant. Harvey was not seeded.

Belief is irrelevant in a debate. Evidence is what is relevant.

Unsupported statement.

I'm well aware that cloud seeding is a thing. That doesn't mean it works on hurricanes.

There is no evidence that we have any degree of global weather control.

If you on't understand the difference then you should stop posting and learn.

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.
