China to Use Silver Iodide & Dry Ice to Control the Weather

eldavojohn writes "While we made light of it before, the MIT Review is taking a serious look at China's plans to prevent rain over their open 91,000 seat arena for The Olympics. From the article: 'China's national weather-engineering program is also the world's largest, with approximately 1,500 weather modification professionals directing 30 aircraft and their crews, as well as 37,000 part-time workers — mostly peasant farmers — who are on call to blast away at clouds with 7,113 anti-aircraft guns and 4,991 rocket launchers.' They plan on demonstrating their ability to control the weather to the rest of the world, and expanding on their abilities in the future."

    What I find interesting is the Chinese are open with their weather control program while US claims weather control is not possible and denies they have a program. Then I look up and see CHEMTRAILS hammering Cleveland whenever we have a sunny day (which is like 60 days out of the entire year!)

    Just a thought...

      People...this was supposed to be a joke. Is slashdot full of neocon fucktards like digg.com is? I mean god damn. Although, I must commend each and every one of you coming to the defense of the establishment and proven what tools you people actually are.

      Down with America and those Tibetans demanding freedom. If they did not want to be part of China, then maybe they should have fought them a little harder.

    No, New Orleans was a case of corrupt black city officials not properly utilizing the monies granted to them via the federal government.

    They had all the money they needed to properly shore up the levees against a Cat 5 hurricane. What did they do with it? Pocketed MOST of it, and used a token amount to build a FOUNTAIN. "White racism" had NOTHING to do with it.

    Let's all stop trying to paint corruption by blacks against blacks as somehow the white man's fault. Particularly in NO, where people "of color" have had control of the majority of the upper government positions for the better portion of the last 30 years. The loss of black people's homes in New Orleans is due to the corruption of BLACK city and county officials (Jim "School Bus" Nagin being the primary culprit.)

    However, you ARE correct that NO has had PILES of money thrown at it since the hurricane. Of course, depending on who is put into office down there, it may just end up back in some politician's pocket.

    "I don't remember a Lorn in Star Wars. "

    But you do remember the "who shot first" crap. Or are you going to lie and say that's not what you're referencing?

    "And I didn't attack you."

    You're a liar. It's pretty fucking pathetic that you even try this, but it says a lot about your character. that you think anyone would believe you and so you attempt it is incredibly funny, it really proves you have no dignity self worth at all.

    And thanks for doing what I told you, that's twice I've made you dance for my pleasure.

    Dance again, you amuse me you pathetic little whore.
