Spy agencies fund climate research in hunt for weather weapon, scientist fears

A senior US scientist has expressed concern that the intelligence services are funding climate change research to learn if new technologies could be used as potential weapons.

Alan Robock, a climate scientist at Rutgers University in New Jersey, has called on secretive government agencies to be open about their interest in radical work that explores how to alter the world’s climate.

Robock, who has contributed to reports for the intergovernmental panel on climate change (IPCC), uses computer models to study how stratospheric aerosols could cool the planet in the way massive volcanic eruptions do.

But he was worried about who would control such climate-altering technologies should they prove effective, he told the American Association for the Advancement of Science in San Jose.

The report concluded that while small-scale research projects were needed, the technologies were so far from being ready that reducing carbon emissions remained the most viable approach to curbing the worst extremes of climate change. A report by the Royal Society in 2009 made similar recommendations.

The $600,000 report was part-funded by the US intelligence services, but Robock said the CIA and other agencies had not fully explained their interest in the work.

Last week, the National Academy of Sciences published a two-volume report on different approaches to tackling climate change. One focused on means to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, the other on ways to change clouds or the Earth’s surface to make them reflect more sunlight out to space.

What? Not worried about designer plagues?

New England is being attacked with ‘snow bombs’. How diabolical is that?

What could possibly go wrong?

I dont think we have much to be concerned about if they hire the same bunch currently involved w/ the ‘climate change’ movement. That and the prediction models can barely get tomorrows weather right...

It was that, or fund research into what technology the aliens used to build the Face on Mars. Paranoittery ping.

Or. As I look out my backdoor, I see chemtrails. :-)

A lot the last few days, even when Obama was here.

What better way to desensitize the masses to the routine.

And to deliver binary agents and hybrid stuff

And the, just cough and fly away.

Weapons?

No problem.

Delivery of same?

We live in cutthroat times.

[NormsRevenge]

Is paranoittery spelled with two ts ;-? Dang.

Climate change used as a weapon is absurd. Consider the energy that would be needed to warm or cool entire oceans, redirect ocean currents or to reflect or redirect the sun's energy. I doubt we will ever have that capability. Even if we were able to change weather patterns, the effects would still be beyond our control. With current technology we cannot even accurately predict a snow storm 48 hours in advance so how the heck could we predict a directed weather change?

Of course Al Gore and the global warming crowd believe that a molecular level change in CO2 levels will cause climate catastrophe. So if you had an infinite number of balloons filled with CO2 and trained an infinite number of monkeys to release them simultaneously there would be climate catastrophe. Of course this is as probably as the same infinite number of monkeys banging away at typewriters could recreate the works of Shakespeare.

No, its because Obama wants as much Federal money funding the AGW fraud as possible.

Then he has the gall to say, “See, even the military says its real!”.

US spy agencies don’t look at building weather weapons, which btw are forbidden by treaty, but look at ways that others may use weather weapons. Have to think out of the box so another Pearl Harbor doesn’t happen. 9/11 happened because we were stuck in the box.

[Gideon7]

We already possess weapons that can do climate change.

And terrain change, and coastline change, and ...

[SunkenCiv]

Those weren’t chemtrails, I had just been to Taco Bell.

[OSHA]

Been done.

...if new technologies could be used as potential (weather) weapons.

But, but, but... the Moonbats claim that's what HAARP is...!

Karl Rove has a Weather Machine. He used it during Katrina.

President Bush had the Levee’s bombed just in case Rove’s Machine didn’t get Hurricane Katrina strong enough to cause major Flooding.

I think Bush used the same people to blow up the Levee’s that he used to bring down the WTC Towers on 9/11.

These are known facts as told by Democrats at the time.
