Could We Build Weather-Controlling Satellites?

The video explores the concept of weather control, using the movie Geostorm as a starting point. It explains that while we cannot control weather on a global scale, cloud seeding is a real method used to increase precipitation locally. The video also discusses Project Storm Fury, an attempt to weaken hurricanes, and the use of hail cannons to prevent hail damage. Despite these efforts, controlling weather remains largely ineffective. The video concludes by acknowledging the support of SCI Show patrons.
