Great links - here is another:
Owning the Weather in 2025
A Research Paper Presented To the Air Force

That is a great link, thanks. That the information was presented in 1996 allows anyone who has paid attention in the ensuing years to gain a firmer understanding of how close the political pirates have come to their dream of complete control, however temporary.
I thought the Paper’s use of one liners ingenious, if intended. Particularly appreciated Chapter Four, Artificial Weather, which includes this gem:
One major advantage of using simulated weather to achieve a desired effect is that unlike other approaches, it makes what are otherwise the results of deliberate actions appear to be the consequences of natural weather phenomena.
Oh, my!
