NewsTalkZB: Why Not Use Weather Modification Technology To Control Cyclones? 17 Feb, 2023

On Friday the 17th of February, Kerre Woodham, host of NewsTalkZB's weekday morning shows, read an email from Clare about the evidence which shows that there is technology available to control cyclones which has existed for decades. Clare questioned why aren't we using it now.
The email read: "Hi Kerre,
Do we need to build far more resilient infrastructure and change land use at the potential cost of billions, when weather modification technology has been available for decades that is able to stop cyclones and floods in their tracks? One has to wonder why this approach is not being implemented, given what is at stake.
According to a book I found at the Whangarei library titled 'Fixing The Sky' by historian Professor James Fleming, work to modify tropical cyclones began over 7 decades ago. He wrote that “history’s first assault by man on a tropical storm” occurred in 1947 and it's direction was changed.
Needless to say, work related to modifying cyclones has continued. For example, one can read the details of the 2010 “29th Conference on Hurricanes and Tropical Meteorology” online. This shows that work was in full swing and becoming highly advanced. Imagine what can be done now. When there is an entire week to change the course of a cyclone that is known to be heading for homes and food growing areas, why not do it?
Thank-you for your show.
Yours sincerely,
Clare Swinney"
