It sounds like the premise of a disaster movie like “Sharknado,” but multiple news sources confirm that the CIA has given $630,000 — probably twice the budget of “Sharknado” — to the National Academy of Sciences to study whether geo-engineering could safely halt climate change and influence weather patterns. This would not be the first time humans have tried to wrest control from Mother Nature. From 1962-1983 weather “engineers” in the Navy and Commerce Department tried to control hurricanes with silver iodide; more recently, during the 2008 Beijing Olympics, China’s “Weather Modification Office” attempted to prevent rainfall by seeding clouds. Here’s one certain forecast: There will be major firestorms up and down every conspiracy theory message board in the U.S. of A. tonight. [Source]
