Weather Warfare

"Others are engaging even in an eco-type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves... So there are plenty of ingenious minds out there that are at work finding ways in which they can wreak terror upon other nations...It's real, and that's the reason why we have to intensify our [counterterrorism] efforts."

Quote from: Secretary of Defense William Cohen at an April 1997 counterterrorism conference sponsored by former Senator Sam Nunn.

He gave his final broadcast on Thursday, September 22, 2005, to work full-time on his unique theories of the source of extreme weather events. He has become one of the largest proponents of a theory that events such as major hurricanes, such as Katrina

, or by American deep black project scientists as countermeasures. On Stevens' website, he cites the research of Tom Bearden, another non-mainstream-science proponent.

The views of Stevens and Bearden are far from the mainstream and have been described as "laughable". The vast majority of meteorologists believe that existing scientific theories explain major weather events adequately. A direct quote from the same USA today article however states: "Bill Fouch, KPVI's general manager, compared Stevens' musings to...beliefs that journalists suppress on the job. 'He doesn't talk about it on his weathercast,' Fouch said. 'He's very knowledgeable about weather.'"

is a legitimate scientific study, with hundreds of scientists studying various methods for modifying weather patterns and several private companies selling methods to increase the probability of rain over certain areas. However, no mainstream published research has suggested the near-term possibility of the type of control over weather suggested by Stevens and Bearden.
