In the media, influencing the weather is usually presented as a ridiculous conspiracy theory.
But why have patent offices been able to grant so many patents on the manipulation of the weather over the last hundred years?
To set the record straight right from the start:
A patent is the industrial property right for a technical invention that gives the owner the sole right to produce
a product or carry out a process for a period of 20 years.
In order for the property right to be granted, it is first tested for functionality.
Although American patent law differs from European patent law in a few key respects,
both attach great importance to functionality.
So much for the basic facts on patents and thus also on weather patents.
In this program we present one of the oldest weather patents that still seems to be relevant:
Two years after the First World War, more than 100 years ago, the French engineer Jules Verdier was granted patent US1338343A.
With the process he developed, artificial clouds, fog or mist could be produced by atomizing anhydrous
chlorides, such as titanium chloride or stannic acid chloride.
In 1924, 1936, 1937 and 1941, further patents were registered for the generation and dissolution of mists and vapors.
When the first patent for the production of fog was filed, other interests were probably at stake.
Today, for alleged environmental reasons, people are interested in darkening the sun in order to reduce global warming,
but also in creating artificial clouds or even fog and haze.
Even in the 1930s, the years of the Great Depression, the average citizen would
probably not have thought of trying to control fog.
But how would the military leadership of a nation or the arms industry that is interested in going to war again see it?
If you can create artificial fog and make it disappear again, you have a powerful weapon in your hand,
an advantage that can play a decisive role in war.
The UN took this type of weapon seriously and responded with an environmental modification convention.
This prohibits warfare through environmental change and has been in force since 1978.
Of course, this does not mean that these manipulations are no longer used.
Quite the opposite: under this UN convention, patents on the manipulation of the weather continued to be granted.
In the program "Storms in Spain: Voices against weather weapons and Agenda 2030" , Kla.TV explained that while politicians and
the leading media immediately blamed man-made climate change for this catastrophe, climate activists and growing sections
of the population saw the use of weather weapons as proven.
In all severe weather disasters, the connection with weather weapons should therefore
always be kept in mind and thoroughly investigated.
