kallend 2,148 #27 August 13, 2013 quadeThe amount of control over the weather (as opposed to climate) humans have is pretty much infinitesimal. The energy requirements to have any significant short term local effects are enormous -- on the order of setting off atomic bombs. It's not just that we shouldn't do it because of the law of unintended consequences, but for the foreseeable future it's simply impossible to harness and control that amount of energy. The physics just isn't there regardless of what some tin-foil hatters might want to get excited about. All we have to do is control the flapping of butterfly wings.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rifleman 70 #29 August 13, 2013 I've lived in Wales for over 17 years now and the locals still consider me to be an outsider - someone jokingly told me that you aren't considered a local until you've lived here for 25 years.Atheism is a Non-Prophet Organisation Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rifleman 70 #30 August 13, 2013 Nataly ***That being said, I'd pick one guy at random and make it rain on him, constantly Awww... That just reminds me of a story I heard somewhere... A guy had clouds over him and wherever he went, these clouds followed him and pissed rain on him... This guy was totally depressed, cursing his bad luck, et cetera. Which is a shame, because the clouds absolutely loved him... They loved him so much, they showered him with rain everywhere he went so he would grow and blossom and be happy... Something to do with different perspectives...

They're just pulling your leg... After 25 years, you will find out it actually takes 30... After 30, they will say it went up to 35, et cetera, et cetera...!
