If weather could be modified on a global scale it would be one of the greatest weapons of all. There are hundreds of patents for weather modification techniques, many filed recently. The unusually warm Winter in Ukraine has hurt the Russian war effort, and protected Europe from economic devastation. The timing was quite fortuitous.

  See sibling comment. All non-government weather modification projects in the U.S. must file form 17-4(a) with the NOAA. All submissions have been indexed and are viewable on their webpage.

    Every submission in there has to do with precipitation. I was curious which techniques are used to sustained warming throughout the winter

      The atmosphere is enclosed. You can't change the weather, but you can move things around. Europe had an unusually warm Winter. The US had an unusually cold one. It was just amazing timing for the Ukranian war effort. With a normal European Winter NATO would have fallen apart as the EU cracked on the Russian energy sanctions to warm themselves, and the Russian army would have had massively increased mobility options with frozen ground in the Ukraine.

A friendly reminder that in the U.S., as a non-government organization, if you’d like to modify the weather you need to fill out the NOAA form 17-4(a). This is required by U.S. Code 15§ 330a as per Public Law 92-205 (1972): https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/15/330a https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/15/330a All weather modification projects that have been filed with the NOAA under this law can be found here: https://www.library.noaa.gov/Collections/Digital-Collections/Weather-Modification-Project-Reports https://www.library.noaa.gov/Collections/Digital-Collections... It’s important to note that religious ceremonies are exempted from this law. NOAA form 17-4(a) does not need to be submitted for rain dances or other religious ceremonies intended to change the weather. This, however, is likely to change if the success rates of your weather ceremony become statistically significant.

  Except the ones that are done under high secrecy for national security purposes. Weather is a huge factor in warfare and the economy. If it could be manipulated to put an enemy in a bad position that would be a powerful weapon indeed, best yet it would be one with plausible deniability.
