The piano begin dropping Hundred a tons of Coal dust onto the ice Cap until it s covered with a Black Blanket a Frac Tion of an Inch thick. Then the planet sneak Back to the Bates in Russia. Now. The rays o the Sun absorbed bythe Black Blanket begin to melt the  Square male ice pack. Over the months and years following the water from the melted pack rushes Down along America s Pacific and Atlantic shorelines hooding coastal cities like Seattle. San Francisco new Vork . More than that warm air and moisture riling now from the open warmed up Arctic Ocean mix loll in the Winter months with cold air from adjacent continents this creates Cyclone Ovet Large areas deposits heavier snowfalls than usual on coastal areas in Cream the Ilie of existing glaciers and Cailea new Onea to form. Eventually a new ice age prevail extending from tub Arctic Melon even tothe Middle latitudes. Fantastic and impractical of course. Long. It would Tike mar Lanu billion tons of Coal dust to cover the ice pack with a Blanket Only one fiftieth of i Inch thick. And mat s More than twice the annual output at All the coalmines in the United states. Moreover the spreading of the Blanke would require hundreds of planet for Only a Tingle application and there Wouldhave to be Many repeated sortie because the Black stuff would keep blowing Warin the fearsome Arctic winds. Finally even if those drawback were somehow surmounted the russians them Elv to would suffer from the militant floods and Lea age. Jet fantastic though this May sound the in Reading of Black toot on the Arctic Leepack u one of the of Sarre things that have seriously Beon lug edited As a Means of giving Man control Over the weather an climate. Knowledgeable meteorologists like Murray Mitchelljr. Of the . Weather Bureau have repeatedly challenged the feasibility and practicality of the Arctic soot sowing idea they be also lambasted other sensational ideas men As using a bombs to melt the ice pack. It would take 4 million50-Mo go ton a bombs just to melt the Greenlandic pack alone. Still the idea of making Brand remotely controlled changes in weather and Calm Ite including the creation of floods droughts and even an ice age in an enemy country continue to persist.

Top civilian meteorologists feel that science has not yet Learned in dependable fashion to modify or control Wenther artificially on a More or less local Arale let alone try to do it virtually on a Globe scale that might re required in some instances at least for employing the weather As a weapon. Much More knowledge of nature s own ways of making Tho weather and climate must be acquired before Man can Hope to control them with any significance even in a limited Way for either peaceful or military pursuits.
