The climate shoots at point-blank range

Weather disasters in 2023 — accomplices of climate weapons or a harbinger of another conspiracy theory?

The weather forecast is one of the news that many perceive with increasing suspicion. First, not all predictions come true. And secondly, the world has entered an era when anomalous natural phenomena cease to be anomalous. For example, Europe already faced the third wave of summer heat in August, but there is no panic. Are they used to? Meanwhile, amid disturbing (and often fake) news from numerous hot spots around the world, every now and again suspicion creeps in: is it not an artificial origin of the current cataclysms?..

Games of disturbed minds

Rumours about the artificial nature of hazardous natural phenomena most often appear in turbulent, troubled times. In the way it is now. You don’t have to look far for examples. In March of this year, a document appeared on the website of the US Congress discussing the so-called climate interventions.
The Americans thought of a proposal to approve a five-year plan to create climate control technology. The official reason is the search for ways to combat global warming. But in the future, will the potential impact of the United States on the weather turn into a climate weapon directed against opposing countries?
By the way, two years earlier, CIA specialists tried to find out whether ‘hostile states’ could arrange a snow storm and abnormal cold. They learned, apparently, little, but they made a decent noise.
The February disaster in Turkey and Syria, where a powerful earthquake of magnitude 7.8 occurred, has become the subject of numerous rumours and speculation. One of them is that the United States is to blame for the tragedy, which allegedly used the latest climate weapons capable of changing the climate, melting ice masses, affecting the ozone layer, and causing earthquakes. It is not for nothing that the United States, on the eve of the tremors, warned its citizens about the insecurity of being in Türkiye!..
The heat that is testing the strength of the Mediterranean countries has not yet been overgrown with rumours about the artificial origin of heat waves.
But the fact remains: extreme natural phenomena are akin to weapons of mass destruction. For example, in Europe alone, more than 60,000 people died from the heat last year. The loss of this year is yet to be calculated.

Fantasy and reality

Fortunately, there is no climate (or, as it is also called, meteorological) weapon in the form in which it is imagined by most earthlings with a rich imagination, in the world yet. Theoretically, it can be based on various technologies and means, including man-made disasters provoked by man and a sad ending for the environment.
Even during the World War II in Nazi Germany, according to a number of sources, bloodthirsty minds hatched plans to create a device that causes tornadoes for military use.
But the first real example of the use of technology for a global impact on nature can be considered the experience of Americans in Vietnam. As part of Operation Popeye, launched in 1967, the military sprayed silver iodide from transport planes and fighters for several years during the rainy season, which led to heavy rainfall. As a result, fields with rice and other crops, roads were under water.
Increased rainfall, floods and landslides are partly a consequence of air pollution. 
The proof of that is a study by scientists at the University of California, published two years ago in the Nature Communication journal. With the help of artificial intelligence, climate data from around the world were analysed. It turned out that in recent years, the maximum amount of precipitation and days with very heavy rains have increased, which have a devastating effect on urban infrastructure and the environment. In almost all cases, the main cause of such cataclysms was the activity of people, accompanied by the release of greenhouse gases. With such ‘peaceful activity’, as they say, who needs enemies.
As for the near future, some scientists are concerned about the American HAARP project. We are talking about a system that is credited with the ability to change the climate in certain regions. The principle of its operation lies in powerful microwave radiation, which makes it possible to disable a warhead or an aircraft that has fallen into a zone of high voltage of the electromagnetic field. In this case, ‘ion clouds’ appear in the ionosphere, in which areas with plasma appear. 
The fluctuations in the ionosphere caused by the impact of HAARP are said to be able to disrupt the processes of weather formation and even affect the bowels of the planet. However, reliable ‘dangerous’ results within the framework of this project have not yet been announced.

What do we have?

From the report published on the official website of the International Consortium for Monitoring the Aquatic Environment, it follows that scientists warned in advance about climate change in 2023. According to them, since spring, people had to prepare for unexpected droughts and heat. Does it come true? It does. Why such an inflated attitude to reports of temperature records?
Fortunately, major natural disasters bypass Belarus. But temperature swings, when the air temperature jumps up and down by 20 degrees or more in a day, are not very encouraging. 
In general, according to Belhydromet, during the warm period on the territory of our country, the greatest danger is weather phenomena associated with violent convective activity — these are strong and very strong showers, thunderstorms, hail and squally wind intensification. Unfavourable and dangerous weather phenomena in summer also include high air temperatures. Moreover, due to climate change, heat waves are becoming more frequent.
All this, of course, is still not the use of climate weapons. But nothing prevents fans of conspiracy theories from building new theories about unknown high-tech enemy weapons.
One thing is sure: the climate is a global category, and everyone will suffer from a hostile impact on it.


Globally dangerous climate change
• Severe droughts
• Water scarcity
• Strong fires
• Sea level rise
• Floods
• Melting polar ice
• Catastrophic storms
• Decline in biodiversity
• Food shortage
• Increased health risks
• Poverty and forced displacement

DIRECT SPEECH
Alexander Losev, financier, member of the Presidium of the Council on Foreign and Defence Policy of the Russian Federation, specialist in rocket and space technology, 
“There is no such weapon in the hands of mankind that can compete with the climate. One average hurricane has a yield comparable to 250 megatons of TNT. And to move billions of tons of air and ocean masses, more energy is needed than the entire nuclear ammunition of Russia and then all the thermal and electrical energy generated by our power plants.”
