minus-square[email protected]@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·27 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-up0·27 days agoDon’t give them ideas. You think people who wanted to inject bleach won’t consider this as a viable option?
minus-squarebabybus@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·27 days agoI’d say we affect the weather, but we don’t seem to be in control.
minus-square[email protected]@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·27 days agoWhat is this, AA for climate engineering?
minus-squaremeyotch@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·27 days agoYea there’s a bit of hysteresis in this system.
minus-squarechiliedogg@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·27 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-up0·27 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.
