Chinese Government Ramps Up Weather Control Efforts

formaggio writes "China's government is intervening with nature by rolling out four regional programs to artificially increase precipitation across the country by 10 percent before 2015. The program is anticipated to bring in an additional 230 billion cubic meters of precipitation per year by 2015. This is on top of the 50 billion cubic meters of precipitation China already artificially creates annually in the northeastern province of Jilin."

Sorry commies, but only the Allies can have the weather control device. Go play with your nuke and iron curtain.

"If it was just headed for the ocean anyway, it doesn't appear to be selfish of them."

If that's the case, they're spinning it wrong. They should be claiming they're trying to offset ocean level rise due to AGW.

Might explain the drought in Texas, or maybe that is because we elected Rick Perry. Though the fact he prayed for rain and we got wild fires instead might be considered evidence towards that theory.

You seem to forget that they captured our construction yard a while back.
