Is it true: Weather Modification: Confirmed Historical Programs?
Partly — it's more complicated than the claim suggests.
Project Stormfury (1962–1983), Operation Popeye (1967–1972), China's ongoing Weather Modification Office, and the UAE and US state cloud-seeding programs are documented facts. The historical and ongoing use of cloud seeding is confirmed. Claims that specific contemporary extreme weather events were covertly engineered, or that a secret ongoing weather warfare program is active, are not supported by evidence proportional to the claim.
