US government aims to tame hurricanes

With winds that rip apart buildings and can produce more power than a nuclear bomb, it would seem humans can do little against the devastating force of a hurricane.
# Previous weather modifying schemes
# James Lovelock's plan to pump ocean water to stop climate change
# Proposal to fix Pacific with 'urea' dump
The United States government, however, has other ideas and is now attempting to pit some of the world's best minds against these indomitable forces of nature.
Critics say attempts to tinker with such powerful weather systems could have unintended consequences for the climate
The Department of Homeland Security has asked scientists to draw up new plans on how hurricanes and other tropical storms can be weakened before they hit land. con't @ link below

FORECASTING YOUR WEATHER

What meteorologists and the media are not telling you
The National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), will provide to anyone that requests the list, a copy of experimental weather modification programs ongoing (as well as historical), in the United States. This list is not complete due to the fact that many experimental weather modification programs are "classified top secret" by the U.S. military. These experimental programs are unregulated and are not subject to oversight by anyone. In addition, the public, ranchers, watershed supervisors, forestry, the Environmental Protection Agency, states, agriculture food producers, fish and game agencies, local counties, and anyone else that depends upon the weather, are usually not notified in advance of these programs being initiated.
NOAA has, under its umbrella, the National Weather Service (NWS). If the NWS is notified about these experimental weather programs, they rarely put this information into their state and local weather forecasts, leaving the public to believe that their weather is "normal" or that "extreme and other weather events" are caused by climate change or "global warming." The NWS provides weather information to local, county, and state meteorologists who then use this information to add to local weather forecasts in the area where you live, but most neglect to advise the public about these modification programs. con't @ link below

Anyone who trys to change the weather must think they are God. Anyone who thinks they are God should be locked in a room with padded walls.

Pecos Bill could ride tornadoes. It has to be true I read it in the Inquirer.
