Launching into orbit one or More satellites equipped with Gigantic mirrors de signed to reflect solar Energy to the dark Side of the Earth. Since 1958. The us. National science foundation has spearheaded the nation support of Nonal Lutary research in weather modification. The Agency has the Central role of leadership in stimulating research throughout the scientific Community including universities and Industrial Labora tories. Psf scientists Lay there is statistical evidence that in certain conditions and in certain areas such m mountains seed ing of Clouds with chemicals is associated with some increase in rainfall. But they also say that full scientific proof As to the value of Cloud seeding is los Cap by explod-1 open areas of the militant steam would la five Mue thick ice la turn would keep leaving the Earth ice Cap.

But psf scientist say that no sensational breakthroughs have been achieved either in the United states or abroad sofar As is known. It is clearly evident says Alan t. Waterman psf director that a truly form tabla scientific problem must be solve before we can learn How to control local weather effectively or modify the climate. However this problem May be no More formidable than problems that have been solved by his generation of scientists in other Fields such As the degree of control we have Over nuclear of the . Weather Bureau says it s conceivable that within a decade it might be possible to break up a Tornado with a Small a bomb and perhaps change the course of a Hurricane 10 to 20 mile by seeding it sufficiently with he sees Little likelihood of it Ever being possible to prevent huge Winter storms from striking the Eastern Seaboard. He says that even if you could do it with huge nuclear furnaces for example the process would affect the world girdling peaks of the caucasus to study the possibility of using sound Waves to increase of communist chinese attempts to accelerate the melting of glaciers in North Central China by Blacken ing the glacial surfaces with Coal dust or burned grass and Wood.

He says is equivalent to exploding a so megaton a bomb every two says artificial Clouds. Intentionally created by strewing water or other materials from an orbiting satellite might be one Way of eventually developing Large scale weather control Droessler Speaks along similar lines.
