Yes Beemee they are also doing it here as well

There is also a thing called HAARP, have you heard of that?  They are able to change the weather with that. Very interesting.

Just depends on what you read.

Fact Vs Fiction: Has NASA Developed A Rain Cloud Generator?

No according to this, they were testing a rocket engine.

There are many odd conspiracy theories propagated in social media that claim NASA, the federal government and others are manipulating the climate or controlling our minds using "chem-trails" or HAARP. I suspect the reason that this viral inaccuracy has resurfaced is because NASA tested its powerful RS-25 engine on February 21 at Stennis Space Center in Mississippi. The exhaust from the RS-25 is primarily water vapor because the engine burns liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen. Oh.....guess what happens when they combine: You get H2O (also known as water). Therefore, the "clouds" that you see in the pictures or videos are a by-product of this process.

Weather control conspiracy theories: scientifically unjustifiable.

The purpose of HAARP was to determine how the ionosphere, or the upper layers of the atmosphere, affects radio signals, with the ultimate goal of helping to develop more advanced radio communication technology.

Conspiracy theorists beg to differ. A quick Google search (which returns over 7,000,000 hits) shows that HAARP has been blamed for pretty much everything bad that’s happened since the mid-1990s – terrorist attack, car accidents, tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, nightmares, toothaches, bad dates, you name it – but the project is most popularly associated with its alleged “weather control” capabilities.

Considering both of you have mentioned HAARP, no I haven't heard of it. Guess I am going to have to look up the abbreviation.

Girlfriend in Bundaberg said she has seen way over the top military planes frequently dropping "shit" from the plane (her words not mine) and whatever it is, it looks like a f.... cloud! Guess she is not happy. LOL.

None of these a-holes are transparent. I guess when all of us get blisters, or gurgle underwater, then we will really know. There isn't anyone educated enough in the public to know for sure, but one would have to be damn silly not realise that somethings gone ass up when we are having this weather. No one can tell me a selective area and in this case the whole east coast, is the only one getting the rain, but it is. That's beyond comprehension. Its planned and I will only change my mind on that when I see so called B.S. aliens turning up on earth. No I am not a believer of aliens, never have been. It's all the work of the Government who haven't bothered to share what they have created to have us believe in little green, blue or pink men, or whatever colour you choose.

I thought it quite odd that in the USA they had heavy snow AND fires almost at the same time!?

HAARP stands for  " High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program"

How does one distinguish conspiracy theories from fact?

I ask specifically BeeMee and PlanB.

There are so many conspiracy theories floating round.

Excellent call, Suze!

You just have to be aware of BOTH because if you believe everything the media says you are totally brainwashed, ask MANY questions, question EVERYTHING.

Because there is some absolute propaganda fed to us as well, and always has been.

Have often thought that the Perth area needs some seeding for this as we are so flat compared to other states.

The absolute rubbish I read on this site never ceases to amaze me.

Common sense tells you that NASA has a very specific mandate, exploration of space,  nothing to do with cloud seeding.  

The internet can do a lot of good, but my god has it ever created a whole new class of gullible idiots who believe any outlandish rubbish without even thinking about it.  I used to think most of those people were Americans, but now the virus has spread more widely.  Australians are better educated than Americans, stop believing this tripe.

When 100mm rain bomb is set to strike NSW and then relentlessly pound the state for SEVEN days - as forecasters warn more floods are on the way

A relentless downpour is expected to hit NSW for the next seven days with 100mm of rain due to fall across parts of the state this weekend, as experts also warn of wild wind and powerful thunderstorms.

Beems, I value your opinion and look forward to your advice and information. Together we shall seed the planet
