A dangerous game they are already playing, acting like they only wargamed it. This is already happening, I noticed many private aircraft doing it over eastern California near national parks.

I reported it to FAA, well turns out you can just put any flare on your plane and fire them wherever.

Beats me how and why it makes sense to hire a Florida company through a Utah company to go spray public lands you don't own over eastern California.

I suppose you’re talking about cloud seeding?
fred_is_fred•37m ago
I don't usually engage on conspiracy theories but why not provide more detail? If you've seen the planes, then you can use an app to figure out what the aircraft is and the owner also. You could then share that data here. What company and/or entity is "they" here?

Which National Parks?

What endgame are you proposing here? What's the goal?

stackskipton•28m ago
Flares and spraying sounds like aerial firefighting. Small aircraft go ahead of big boys to mark positions with aerial flares and tankers come in to drop.
schiffern•15m ago
Presumably this is the Stanislaus or Upper Tuoloumne River projects (or similar), which are cloud seeding for local irrigation districts. They even mention the flares.

It's probably not this exact filing, no FL addresses, but it gives you the gist:

I don’t entirely understand the war-gaming aspect here. Is this just Model UN for adults?

Yeah like d&d, I think

The past couple of years the Sun has been low-single-digit-percent amounts brighter because it's the first actual solar maximum that's done anything for 40 years.

It's been heatwaves and droughts and stuff unlike anything we've seen since I was in primary school.

So yeah any attempt by us to dick about with the Sun's output is going to be utterly catastrophic, because it's not going to be even as small as a 3% increase or decrease.

Say what? Isn't that off by 1 or 2 orders of magnitude? [0] 1% would be enormous.

I think you're overly worried.

Almost any attempt to change the sun's output is going to have a 0.000% change. It is very much not easy to affect something that size.

jxcole•9m ago
It's probably caused more by anthropogenic climate change than sun luminosity.

Wouldn't this be attributable to the change in international agreements about bunker fuel composition to have massively less sulfur?

A good read on this from Neil Stephenson is Termination Shock. It's fiction, but covers some of the possible geopolitical fallout here.
