When billionaires like Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates talk about weather control, casual followers of the news might think they are advocating a pie-in-the-sky fantasy. In Gates' case, the ostensible goal is to save humanity from the climate change primarily caused by burning fossil fuels. Yet Gates is not alone in bringing weather control to the global conversations.
There are people who attribute weather-controlling powers to large organizations like HAARP (High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program), a University of Alaska — Fairbanks program that researches the ionosphere. There is no evidence that HAARP has done any sort of weather control or can create hurricanes. (HAARP did not respond to Salon's request for comment.)
