China is scaling up its weather modification programme – here’s why we should be worried.
China has massively ramped up its efforts to control the weather. China’s state council announced its weather modification programme will cover around half the country by 2025. It is aiming to control rain and snow across an area that is more than one-and-a-half times the size of India, or 20 times the size of the UK.
What is really terrifying is why it is scaling up its weather modification programme. It is not just posturing, I tis also desperation.
Investors have started taking water scarcity seriously. Early in December 2020, water futures began trading on Wall Street for the first time amid fear of scarcity.
