It’s been a blur.

The last couple of weeks I’ve been busier than a one-legged man in a butt-kicking contest. But, as promised, I’ve continued to dig into the complexities of weather modification. There is a long and documented history of government research and funding of weather modification techniques that dates back to at least the 1940s.

To provide just one of many tangible examples, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation took an explicit interest in weather modification back in 1947. Shortly thereafter, the Bureau funded Project Skywater in order to develop “large field experiments and programs to test the practical application of seeding technology.”

From their own archives:

“Project Skywater complemented the general research program already initiated by the National Science Foundation as well as the specific weather programs studying hurricanes at the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration and fog dispersal at the departments of Defense and Transportation.”

I’m dropping that link straight out of the gate to negate any accusations that government weather modification is some sort of crackpot conspiracy.

Clearly that’s not the case.

It is a 100% proven and irrefutable fact that cloud seeding and other weather modification programs have been being deployed for decades, and we’d all be wise to wrestle with the implications. To drive home the legitimacy of this issue before moving forward, please consider these additional sources, which further substantiate just how mainstream and extensive weather modification programs have become:

* American Meteorological Society’s Early History of Weather Modification (1968)

* NOAA National Weather Modification Policies and Programs (1979)

* NRC Status of US Weather Modification Research and Operations (2003)

* CIA Survey of Weather Modification (Released 2013)

* U.S. Government Accountability Office Report on Cloud Seeding (2024)

Again, we must confront the fact that the science of “cloud seeding” is legit, and that this technology has been being used for much longer than people realize.

But does that mean that conspiracies about “chemtrails” are real?

We’re not there yet.

Setting aside the fact that the government is trying to play God, many useful idiots will make the case that all of this weather modification is entirely benign. You see, the government is just trying to help the farmers and all of this spraying stuff into the atmosphere to change weather patterns is really for the greater good—honest.

It’s always for the greater good, isn’t it?

That said, given the cold, hard fact that weather modification is a thing, I’d like to turn our attention to the fanatical environmentalists who are trying to block out the sun—but first, let’s connect a few rudimentary dots to prime the logical mind:

* Cloud seeding forms clouds, duh.

* Clouds block out the sun by reflecting sunlight.

* Some people are trying to block out the sun to “save the planet.”

With that in mind, it’s not that much of a stretch to
