In general, rainmaking declined throughout Canada during the 1960s. The exception was Alberta, where the interest in weather modification remained high and operational and research projects to suppress hail and increase rainfall continued into the 1980s.
Weather modification projects usually have objectives that do not satisfy everyone. For example, farmers might want more rain while tourists would prefer more sunshine. In addition, although a target area is usually selected, the possibility exists the effects might be felt in nearby communities, provinces or countries. Consequently, some provinces and the federal government have legislation that enables them to monitor, and in some cases, licence, anyone attempting to modify the weather.
Randomized tests are scientifically considered the best method for evaluating weather modification. Considering the natural variability of precipitation and the generally low values of expected effects (10-20%), randomized tests would generally need to be conducted for 5-10 years before statistically significant results are obtained. This makes weather modification research costly and difficult to perform. There are also many unknowns concerning cloud microphysical processes and the generation of cloud systems. Consequently, much more work remains to be done before the weather can be modified in a controlled manner.
The cloud-seeding operations were initiated in the late 1990s in the UAE. By early 2001 these operations were being conducted in cooperation with the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Colorado, USA, the Witwatersrand University in South Africa and the US Space Agency, NASA.
Russ Tanner runs what he claims is the largest "chemtrails" group on Facebook - Chemtrails Global Skywatch - which has more than 114,000 members. He calls so-called chemtrails "the largest crime against humanity in history".
In a post typical of the paranoia among conspiracy theorists, one of the memes he's posted in his group asks if chemtrails are "the modern implementation of eugenics and forced depopulation".
At his request, I contact Russ at 8am in the UK - 3am in Maine, where he lives.
"The main reason I wanted to do the interview at night is in our area we have an enormous amount of aerosol injection that takes place through the evening," he tells me.
"I can't sleep when the air is that concentrated with this fallout. It causes me physical symptoms. I taste and smell it. It burns my sinuses, causes inflammation, rises in blood pressure, stomach issues and headaches."
Both Russ and Suzanne claim to have conducted their own scientific tests. Suzanne says she even tested her dog.
"I had my soil tested. I had my hair tested," she says. "I was toxic in aluminium, barium, strontium, arsenic, manganese. And I live very healthily." She says her dog has been poisoned by a radioactive metal.
Russ claims he found six times the safe levels of aluminium in his rainwater, and both say the tests are solid proof of atmospheric spraying.
It's not known what's behind those test results - and they couldn't be independently verified. Scientists, of course, disagree that there is any large-scale plot by governments to spread chemicals around the globe.
A 2016 study by the Carnegie Institute for Science and the University of California Irvine surveyed 77 leading atmospheric scientists and geochemists. All but one, 98.7%, reported no evidence of a secret large-scale atmospheric spraying programme. The one scientist who dissented recorded unusually high levels of atmospheric barium in a remote area with low levels of barium in the soil. But to get from that one result to the idea that we're being secretly sprayed with chemicals requires a monumental leap of faith.
"Our goal is not to sway those already convinced that there is a secret, large-scale spraying programme - who often reject counter evidence as further proof of their theories - but rather to establish a source of objective science that can inform public discourse," the study's authors wrote.
Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that it filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for records of communication from Dr. Marion Gruber and Dr. Philip Krause, the former director and deputy director of the US. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Office of Vaccines Research and Review, who reportedly resigned during the White House’s push to approve the COVID-19 “booster shot” (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (No. 1:22-cv-00292)).
The lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court of the District of Columbia after HHS failed to respond to a September 3, 2021, FOIA request for:
On September 22, 2021, the FDA approved use of a booster dose of the Pfizer drug. According to the organization’s news release, the FDA, “amended the emergency use authorization (EUA) for the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine to allow for use of a single booster dose, to be administered at least six months after completion of the primary series” for people at “high risk” of “severe COVID-19.”
On September 13, 2021, Gruber and Krause were among a group of resigning doctors who agreed that, “Available evidence doesn’t yet indicate a need for COVID-19 vaccine booster shots among the general population …”
Also on September 13, 2021, The Lancet published a paper to which Gruber and Krause contributed that noted:
Careful and public scrutiny of the evolving data will be needed to assure that decisions about boosting are informed by reliable science more than by politics.… Widespread boosting should be undertaken only if there is clear evidence that it is appropriate.
“This booster shot cover-up shows the FDA is politicized and corrupt,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “The American people have a right to know about the safety and efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccines – especially given that officials in the FDA seem to have objected to the agency’s recommendations about the vaccines.”

‘There are serious ethical issues,' James O'Keefe told Fox News host Sean Hannity on Wednesday night, blasting the federal organization as being borderline corrupt.
'When you have the government getting money from the people they are supposed to be regulating and you have an executive officer in that government saying he did not know he is being recorded, that influences how they approved products,' the political activist said.
The far-right activist group released a report earlier Wednesday that includes edited video snippets from at least two secretly-recorded conversations in January and February with Christopher Cole, the FDA's executive officer for its medical countermeasures initiative.
'Biden wants to inoculate as many people as possible,' Cole said during a February 3 conversation inside a restaurant, according to footage obtained by Veritas. 'I think it's going to be a gradual thing. Schools are going to mandate it.
'The vaccine, it wanes, your ability to fight it wanes so the three will bolster your system and then there will be an annual one just like the flu shot.'
The FDA has dismissed the report, saying Cole does not work in vaccine-related matters and that his views don't represent those of the agency.
O'Keefe claimed he made an appeal to Cole, asking him to expose the alleged corruption within the FDA, but was instead told the official 'misspoke.'
'I asked him to become a whistleblower. Obviously he's saying some very true things here,' the Project Veritas leader stated.
'He is saying he misspoke. And I said "which part did you misspeak about?" And he said: "Well, then I was speaking in private, I didn’t want my remarks publicized."'
O'Keefe added: 'Of course, that is the whole idea of journalism is to make public what powerful people want kept private.’
Cole's comments were made public as some experts - including Moderna chief executive Stephane Bancel - say they believe the pandemic will soon end and that vaccines may no longer be necessary.
Project Veritas said he made the comments to a female 'undercover reporter' during what appeared to be a series of dinner dates. Cole later dismissed the coverage as a 'hack job.'
In late January, Cole was recorded saying: 'You're going to have to get an annual shot. It hasn't been formally announced yet because they don't want to rile everyone up.'
During his dinnertime conversation with an undercover Project Veritas worker earlier this month, Cole also dished on the government's financial reasoning for promoting Covid vaccines.
'The drug companies, the food companies, the vaccine companies, they pay us hundreds of millions of dollars a year to hire and keep the reviewers to approve their products,' he said.
'If they can get every person required [for] an annual vaccine, that is a recurring return of money.'
O'Keefe, speaking to Hannity Wednesday night, said what Cole detailed to the reporter 'are serious ethical issues.'
'I'm not sure it's literally corruption, but this new story - which I'm going to reiterate some of the quotes here - almost a billion dollars a year ago into the FDA's budget from the people we regulate. The drug companies, they pass hundreds of millions of dollars a year to approve their product,' the journalist said.
'He even said how hard it is for people to step up. He said he will be a marked man. He will be marked from getting other jobs because of their offices are not going to want to hire you.'
The Project Veritas leader also alleged Cole 'rubber-stamped' the approval of of emergency use authorization of toddler Covid vaccines, saying the move was motivated by the 'fountain of revenue that goes into the FDA'.
'The video talks about the fountain of money, the fountain of revenue, that goes into the FDA. The money they get from these pharmaceutical companies makes it more likely to approve their products,' O'Keefe explained.
'When he says - and repeatedly says - he handles these emergency use authorizations on toddler vaccines, he says the FDA is not going to not approve the so-called toddler vaccine. Basically rubber-stamping it.'
He continued: 'He says that there's an emergency, so we're just going to sorta rubber-stamp these toddler vaccines because it’s under an emergency authorization. These are serious issues here and we want answers.’
The FDA did not respond to DailyMail.com's request for comment.
President Joe Biden and his administration have been outspoken advocates for getting vaccinated against a virus that has killed more than 925,000 Americans
Project Veritas was founded by James O'Keefe, who grilled Cole in a follow-up interview about the comments he made during the secretly-recorded dinner dates
In a follow-up interview with Project Veritas founder James O'Keefe, Cole said his office was not involved in the approval of vaccines.
He described the outlet's reporting as a 'hack job'.
'You videotaped me talking with someone on a date - didn't tell me anything, didn't say it was being videotaped,' he said.
'You've taken a lot of it out of context.'
It's not the first time Project Veritas has been accused of using deceptive tactics and secret recordings in its coverage.
President Joe Biden's administration has aggressively touted the Covid vaccine as an effective way to prevent infection or serious illness from the virus, which has killed more than 925,000 Americans.
As of February 14, about 65 percent of the American population was fully vaccinated; another 77 per cent has received at least one dose. About 28 per cent of Americans have received booster shots, according to CDC data.
Moderna's chief executive Bancel told CNBC's Squawk Box Asia this week that he is confident the next strain of the virus after Omicron will not less virulent, and that the way the current variant is running out of steam is a promising sign.
'There's an 80% chance that as Omicron evolves or [Covid] virus evolves, we are going to see less and less virulent viruses,' he said.
'I think we got lucky as a world that Omicron was not very virulent, but still are we see thousands of people dying every day around the planet because of Omicron.'
Moderna produces the second most popular vaccine in America, having been administered 206 million times since it first became available in December 2020.
