The loudest noise-makers here are not serious scientists as they claim. They fall prey to every logical fallacy in the book.
The one that bugs me the most is the appeal to authority. Evidence doesn’t count if it is posted on the internet.
That, of course, is followed by circular reasoning. Well, it would count if it linked to some real (authority-based) evidence but it links to something on the internet so it still doesn’t count.
I’m not expressing myself well; the trolling has its desired effect of tiring out the target. I’m not even going to reply to the posts where what I’ve previously posted is badly butchered as if the responder’s reading comprehension is about a 5-year-old’s. But the underlying epistemology of these supposed “scientists” is exactly the kind of undermining that has gone on in 5th-generation warfare, to dumb us all down to a point where we can’t have any kind of decent conversation. The reasoning here is the same kind of reasoning that the woke left uses. There’s no way to reason with somebody who blows off any inquiry of phenomena they blow off as “conspiratorial”.
Ask a simple question like “Hey, what’s causing those weird cone-shaped blips on the radar screen” and you get canceled for being crazy. You saw it right here on Free Republic in full view of everybody.
God help us. There’s no way to fix the stupid. The logical fallacies have taken over the world.

Quit the ad hominem attacks!
Posting to myself because I’m not going to waste my time on the resident troll. Cloud seeding was acknowledged as existing, but the use of radar, etc is said here to be impossible to affect weather. But on the NOAA page Dutchsinse linked to, at https://libguides.library.noaa.gov/weather-climate/weather-modification-project-reports
it mentions #8:
“Activities subject to reporting.
(a)Weather modification activities are defined as “Any activity performed with the intention of producing artificial changes in the composition, behavior, or dynamics of the atmosphere” (see 15 CFR § 908.1). The following, when conducted as weather modification activities, shall be reported (see 15 CFR § 908.3):
(ED: #1-7 here, followed by #8 below:)
Using lasers or other sources of electromagnetic radiation”
Why does the law require reporting on the use of weather-modifying lasers or other sources of electromagnetic radiation, if such things cannot POSSIBLY modify weather?
I’ve asked that quite a few times on this thread and similarly, have gotten no responses other than ad hominem attacks.
Which is actually very revealing.
