Project Cirrus, Cloud Seeding, Weather Modification History
Historical efforts to control weather date back to Project Cirrus after World War II, where GE and the US Army used dry ice to attempt hurricane modification. Later experiments like Project Stormfury used silver iodide for cloud seeding, though causal effects remained unproven. The discussion references a 1962 speech by Lyndon Johnson regarding weather control and recent comments by former CIA Director John Brennan on stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) as a geoengineering tool.
