We already have that ethical dilemma in the example of floods. The poor neighbourhoods are sacrificed to protect the rich. Imagine if we had the power to divert a hurricane. Where would we send it?
I can hook my PC up to a large screen TV and a pretty good sound system. Which gives the luxury of watching/listening to stupid things on youtube while leisurely doing chores. And today's stupid was: Half an hour but, Michio Kaku, is right at the beginning, and which I found offbeat. Later, I checked the HAARP wiki page, skimmed the the conspiracies, and thought this was not a weapon, per se, but some super device that could be used to terraform a planet. (may half to rewind to beginning)
Better still don't put in the great ragged lumps of plastic garbage in the water in the first instance But I suspect you know that Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
30 years too late. Most people have no idea how much oil is in sea-water, either; how many spills there have been from tankers and deep drilling rigs. Yes, I knew that back in 1976, when bottled water became fashionable Puerto Rico. .

if you wanted to spend money i guess with an Operation Chrome Dome type cycle of 747,s all customised to drop some type of moisture grabbing granules or electrical compounds it might be possible. though a diving aging 747 that is doing a dive bomb on a forming tornado close to a city is probably going to raise some other concerns. would probably block peoples drains and then cause flooding.
I was going to say that but I figured you guys would put two and two together. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!

If the frequency of 50C heat spikes this year - in the worry zones (around the Gulf of Oman, the low regions of Pakistan and India, the Yangtze River valley and Seven Ovens of China) - are taken as establishing the new Bell Curve rather than outlying an older one, we are now entering the time of statistical likelihood (>50%) for a normatively lethal heat spike event in one of those regions within a human lifetime. So we can modify the weather, and use it to kill people. We just can't aim it.
