Weather Modification—ls It Worth The Risk?
Weather modification is becoming big business.
Although not widely publicized, 68 different weather
modification projects occurred during 1973, These
projects involved hundreds of technicians who used every
modem technique available to change existing weather
patterns for one reason or another.
On the surface, many of these projects appear in
nocuous. Project Skywater in the Colorado River Basin,
for example, was (and still is) designed to increase

Lancaster Farming, Saturday, May 24,1975
snowfall and thus produce more water for agricultural
and coal processing in a part of the country where water is
a scarce commodity.
Another area where water is extremely valuable, South
Dakota, has one of the most vigorous weather
modification programs in existence. In 1974, the state
spent $1 million to change the existing weather.
The results have been interesting. The Institute of At
mospheric Sciences, located in Rapid City, reports a 23
per cent increase in additional rain each summer.
Estimates show that each additional inch of rain can be
translated into two to five more bushels of grain per acre
for the state’s farms.
Unfortunately, the silver lining in weather modification
programs may become a tarnished one. Why? No one
really knows what the end result of these programs will
be. There are guesses, but no hard data.
Dr. Stephen H. Schneider, deputy head of the Climate
Project at the National Center for Atmospheric Research
in Boulder, recently pointed out that virtually everything
in our climate system is coupled to everything else.
Any large-scale push in one place causes a bulge
somewhere else. Unfortunately, scientists have yet to
determine just how significant these changes might be, he
says.
For instance, 1972 was a bad weather year around the
world. The Indian monsoons were late. The Soviet Union
suffered a severe drought. The drought in sub-Sahara
Africa continued unabated. Water temperatures off the
coast of Peru changed, causing fishing patterns to alter
dramatically. Pakistan was hit by devasting floods. Are
all of these incidents somehow related? Could something
done in one part of the world have been the cause of these
seemingly unrelated incidents? Nobody really knows.
Besides these scattered anomalies, over the past
several years there has been a basic shift southward in the
jet stream, the current of warm air that sweeps across
huge portions of the world.
At one time the jet stream surged through the
Mediterranean area to Asia. But now geographers say the
high-altitude west winds have shifted so they now cross
parts of sub-Sahara Africa and continue across the
southern half of India.
The warm jet stream sweeping through the sparsely
settled and already parched Sahel has limited social
consequences for that area. But the drying effect on the
heavily populated south of India, with its 2SO million
people depending upon regular rain, is a potential disaster
to say the least.
Of course, the big question has to be what effect man
has had on the jet stream shift, if any.
Dr. Schneider says that much more study is needed on
the effects of weather modification before man is allowed
to continue tampering. Then, and only then, should the
scientists and technicians be allowed to proceed with
these programs. But even if no inherent dangers are
foreseen, some believe there should be an “off” button
that can be pressed if a project suddenly gets out of hand.
For years, scientists have considered damming the
Bering Strait as an experiment to control the climate in
that part of the world.
Oceanologist, engineer and leading inventor Dr.
Athelstan Spilhaus thinks the idea has some merit. But he
adds a note of caution; “Like all innovative projects, we
should design it so that we can undo it (open the dam) if it
doesn’t work.”
An “off switch” sounds like the answer to many of the
problems that man brings on himself with his
sophisticated technology. But Dr. Schneider isn’t too sure
that this is an answer, especially as regards weather
modification.
As he says; “The unhappy dilemma is that despite the
gaps in our understanding of the causes of climatic
change, we do know enough to realize that mistakes made
now could cause long-term climatic changes that would be
both global and irreversible.”
