Contextually, it was implied.

Seeding clouds isn't controlling the weather in any meaningful sense, it's influencing it a bit.

I'm not injecting meaning, just trying to find some.

Really don't care enough to argue this and there's a thunderstorm so I'm going to walk in the rain (which I personally believe was caused by our secret overlords from Uranus).

If you see lightning coming towards you, give it a wave from me. :)

what about the beaming technology? or was that just for shifting tectonic plates?

 

[edit] ah bugger, this was meant for PB

You mean this:
quote:
looks like they're using 2 or 3 beams to try and reposition the tectonic plate, with magma being forced Northward into the Kurils
...
The Yank beam has been smoothing Alaska and letting California and Central America move in jolts.


Nothing to do with weather.

A quick search suggests that laser beams are used to measure the velocity of tectonic places - I didn't find anything to suggests that anyone is warming/cooling magma to try and change their movements.

If it was as widespread as "China, Japan, USA. Russia. also Oz, South Africa maybe, NATO, probably France, maybe Canada" doing it, then I would expect to find at least some hint of something.

tbh, it all blends into one, so many odd thoughts at once

just so's I know, do you think someone is doing this or are you just reporting events as they happen?

Hello.

 

I'm a planetary scientist. I know quite a bit about orbital cycles, tidal forces, geology and volcanology.

 

I have to admit that some of the facts that you present in that blog are plain wrong, or I would say they are unless you can provide references.

 

However, some of what you say is very interesting, scientifically sound and I've never heard before. I would be interested if you could provide some cross referenced data of things like eclipse/perigee times and earthquakes or point me in the direction of some.

It's not "cross referenced data", either.

I'm afraid I'm not going to find and buy a book, I'd prefer to look at data.

 

It's not "Just plain Newton's laws." Tidal stresses are not what causes volcanoes or earthquakes. They will have some effect, but not directly. That and the fact that the variation in tidal force is max about 15%, and that's when everything is lined up, which is basically never.

 

Seems like an oversimplified version of reality, really.

 

And I know it's not rocket science, it's far more complicated than that.

Have you ever read Erich von Däniken? He's another crackpot. My point being that just because someone writes a book, doesn't mean that they're an authoritative source:
Browning described his climatic theories and findings in Climate and the Affairs of Men, which he co-authored with Nels Winkless III and published in 1975. At that time, he believed that Earth had been through a long warm period and was moving into a dangerous cooling phase. He also declared that he had not detected any effect of human activity on the climate.

Do you consider it odd that his theories of global cooling are diametrically opposed to those of even a former climate sceptic?

Three numbers ain't really data.

Also looking at Wolfram Alpha's graph suggests the sunspot peaks are on average every 10.5 years, which is supported by looking at data from Wikipedia stating 10.6 as a the mean.

So where does the 11.2 come from?
