Weather manipulation for geopolitical pressure/conflict purposes is expressly a war crime. Which means that, when they made such a rule, it was a real enough possibility to list and bring it up. And that was a while ago.

Simple cloud seeding is definitely a thing, Japan did it to ensure no rain during their Olympic opening ceremonies (with permission from the UN). But that's not temperature control, it's just forcing it to rain earlier so it doesn't later. Changing temperatures by 5 degrees is such a colossal amount of energy that it isn't practical: Ask any climate change skeptic OR alarmist, how much fossil fuel, how much energy, is needed to even move the needle one degree. The entirety of the human race's energy output for decades.

And all that hot air doesn't stay in one place. Air moves. Your fridge doesn't work nearly as well open, as it does closed, and your fridge only had one wall/segment exposed to open air when open, not the complete open air of a coastline and several country borders.

That's because all crimes are the rules non-jews have to play by while jews do whatever they want.

Well if it rains, the evaporation effect will cool the Earth, and that's besides the addition of cloud cover. Not as much energy as you would expect, because you're just allowing deeper penetration of the natural cloud cover into the land mass.

They're not creating the heat, they're just moving it from once place to another. All it requires is changing the direction of the wind. All that requires is heating the upper atmosphere. All that requires is a radio transmitter site that fits inside 10 acres, which all only requires 1M to 10M watts.

Your fridge doesn't work nearly as well open

Yet, when I do, the floor will be colder because of it.

as it does closed

It's actually the average density of the interior of the space. Air itself is a shitty conductor of heat, and with low moisture, does not retain it.

No but if you find a local climate pattern that's driven by 1 key input, say moisture coming off the ocean, it's pretty easy to disrupt that original input.

Oh! So easy! Just control how much moisture comes off nearby oceans! Is there an App for that? 🙄
