minus-square[email protected]linkfedilink99•8 months agoTechnically, we do have the ability to control the weather. We’re currently warming the earth but nuclear winter is always available!
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink22•8 months agoDon’t give them ideas. You think people who wanted to inject bleach won’t consider this as a viable option?
minus-squarebabybuslinkfedilinkEnglish14•8 months agoI’d say we affect the weather, but we don’t seem to be in control.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•8 months agoYea there’s a bit of hysteresis in this system.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink4•8 months agoNo. We can control the climate, not the weather. We can make flooding and draughts more likely, but cannot pick a date and time.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink5•8 months agoWe can seed clouds but that’s about it… And even that is just precipitating existing humidity. We can’t create rain if the air is dry. We also can’t, for example, make it snow in summer, create or control tornados, lightning, hurricanes, hail, etc.

What is this, AA for climate engineering?
