China always goes to extremes and I do not doubt that they will here also. What happens when they take their weather modification programs too far and it impacts the climate of other nations? For example, it might not be hard to cool the earth by releasing certain gases into the ionosphere or certain chemicals in the oceans. Will that be China’s answer to global warming rather then controlling the industrial output that the West demands? If they did do such an experiment what would be the long term consequences to weather and food production on earth? Could it cause the biblical famines of Revelation? Who might go to war with China over it? What if Russia actually wanted the earth to be warmer while China was determined to make it cooler. Would we see large scale weather wars? Is it really wise to mess with climate patterns when we know so little about the long term consequences?

Asia Times Online :: China News – Ready, aim, fire and rain: “The farmers are part of the biggest rain-making force in the world: China’s Weather Modification Program.

According to Wang Guanghe, director of the Weather Modification Department under the Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences, each of China’s more than 30 provinces and province-level municipalities today boast a weather-modification base, employing more than 32,000 people, 7,100 anti-aircraft guns, 4,991 special rocket launchers and 30-odd aircraft across the country.

‘Ours is the largest artificial weather program in the world in terms of equipment, size and budget,’ Wang said, adding that the annual nationwide budget for weather modification is between US$60 million and $90 million. “
