Keep believing that shite dude

I think "influence" is a lot more accurate than control, but even if what she said is technically accurate the context makes it very, very suspect. She's trying to imply something about Helene and everybody knows it.

A lot of what Tim Walz said about his military service was technically accurate, but we all know what he was trying to do.

Feel better?

You seriously think 180 pounds of dry ice redirected a hurricane?

This part of the GP article is definitely misleading/ disingenuous:

While there is little public proof that a hurricane can be “created”, Project Cirrus proved that a hurricane can be “redirected”.

. . .

Nobel Prize winning Scientist Irving Langmuir argued that Project Cirrus’s cloud seeding had caused the storm’s change in direction.

They link to this article Earth magazine: Benchmarks: October 13, 1947: A disaster with Project Cirrusand claim it provides proof that Project Cirrus was the cause of the storms redirection.

The article actually itself stated that people assumed it had, whereas research conducted since has proved undoubtedly that it wasn’t the cause of the change in direction:

What was conclusive, however, was that the storm had taken a sudden westward turn and made landfall just outside of Savannah, Ga.

To the average person, it looked like Project Cirrus was to blame. Time magazine reported, “In Savannah last week, Southern blood bubbled toward the boiling point. A Miami weatherman had hinted that last month’s disastrous hurricane might have been not an act of God, but just a low Yankee trick.” Fearing lawsuits, GE pulled its support of the project. But before any legal actions could be carried out, other meteorologists pointed out that previous hurricanes had taken nearly identical paths.

Later investigations that showed the storm had begun its westward turn before the cloud seeding took place fully cleared Project Cirrus of any liability. In fact, recent studies on the amount of power unleashed by a hurricane make the attempt to modify one with only 80 kilograms of dry ice appear laughable. Bob Sheets, former director of the National Hurricane Center in Miami, wrote in his book “Hurricane Watch” that the heat energy a hurricane releases each day can be compared to the energy released by 400 20-megaton hydrogen bombs. However, such research is only a few years old, so it could not be used in defense of the failed attempt by Project Cirrus.

No link provided to Langmuir’s arguments.

Of course that was almost 80 years ago and the other info re China weaponizing it and the UN outlawing it would seem to indicate that advancements have been made in this field since then.

That is the sort of thing Gateway Pundit always does. They see something conflicting with their narrative and ignore it all the while using other pieces of the same source to accomplish their goal.

The technology was so bad back then, they had no idea what was typical behavior of hurricanes so if they changed after dropping dry ice in it, they thought it was them altering things rather than it being something hurricanes typically do on their own.

We see it all the time today. Hurricanes can lose their eyewall and reform a new one. Back then, they thought it was the cloud seeding doing that.

Apparently HealthRanger is a believer:

With any success?

I know I should just let this thread die because we will be on to Milton soon enough. And something else after that.

This genie is not going back into that cloudy bottle.
