Original Note:
Weather manipulation is possible at small scales (for example, “cloud seeding”). However, weather patterns in general are naturally occurring and cannot be “controlled”. Hurricanes and other large storms cannot be created artificially with modern technology. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2024/sep/27/instagram-posts/hurricane-helene-was-not-a-product-of-weather-modi/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2023/01/25/fact-check-false-claim-severe-weather-linked-chemtrails-haarp/11084984002/ https://www.dri.edu/cloud-seeding-program/what-is-cloud-seeding/# https://www.npr.org/2024/10/03/nx-s1-5134866/rumors-conspiracy-theories-helene-social-media
