minus-square[email protected]@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up107·19 days agoTechnically, we do have the ability to control the weather. We’re currently warming the earth but nuclear winter is always available!
minus-squarehOrni@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up22·19 days agoDon’t give them ideas. You think people who wanted to inject bleach won’t consider this as a viable option?
minus-squareEcho Dot@feddit.uklinkfedilinkarrow-up1·18 days agoI’m perfectly happy to let anyone be in control of any nukes they want as long as they inject the bleach into themselves first. Then leave it like 10 minutes.
minus-squarebabybus@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up15·18 days agoI’d say we affect the weather, but we don’t seem to be in control.
minus-square[email protected]@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up3·18 days agoWhat is this, AA for climate engineering?
minus-squarechiliedogg@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·18 days agoNo. We can control the climate, not the weather. We can make flooding and draughts more likely, but cannot pick a date and time.
minus-squarepiecat@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·18 days agoWe can seed clouds but that’s about it… And even that is just precipitating existing humidity. We can’t create rain if the air is dry. We also can’t, for example, make it snow in summer, create or control tornados, lightning, hurricanes, hail, etc.
minus-squaremeyotch@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·18 days agoYea there’s a bit of hysteresis in this system.

Thanks, Leela
