Interesting article by Dr. Matthew Wielicki:
They Want to Stop Lightning Now - by Dr. Matthew Wielicki?
" There is a point where science stops asking questions and starts issuing commands.
We are there.
A Canadian startup now claims it can suppress lightning to prevent wildfires. The logic is simple and increasingly familiar. Lightning ignites fires. Fires release carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide contributes to climate change. Therefore, lightning itself has become a problem to solve.
But that conclusion only makes sense if you accept a much deeper assumption.
That natural systems are errors.
And that we are capable of correcting them."
- and of course if you give any credence to CO2 causing Climate Change or even that there is something unnatural about cyclical changes in climate - see:
