Holding farmers hostage over the weather? I think the weather does a fine job of holding farmers hostage already.
It's hard to see how providing more information about weather and corresponding farming best practices (i.e., what Climate does) could be used to hold anybody hostage. If you don't like their products, you can simply not buy them next year. They are certainly not actively manipulating the weather (which is barely effective, anyways).
