New bestseller in the USA, Europe and Russia - the book Sidney Sheldon "And are you afraid of the dark?". We will be talking about climate weapon allegedly now create scientists in many countries. It turns out, not to bomb the territory of the enemy, but simply to send a hurricane or flood. And this is not a joke. Further than others in creating the climate of arms moved as Americans. There is unconfirmed information that meteorologists US try to use this weapon for peaceful purposes - an unsuccessful attempt to stop the hurricane Katrina. And recently, the Pentagon has developed a doctrine of doing climatic war.

Submission weather

U.S. analysts air force produced a report caught later in the media. Name straightforward: "Weather as a force multiplier: the subordination of the weather by 2025". Answering the question why the military is necessary, the authors deploy this picture:

"Imagine that in 2025 the US is struggling with a rich South American drug cartels that have patrons among the leadership of several regional countries. To start full-scale war in the region the US has no plans or not. The only solution is to destroy Coca plantations and warehouses of finished products from the air. But through their political masters traffickers purchased in China and Russia decommissioned fighters, and in France tracking and intercepting missiles. Of course, our aircraft (the authors mean the American equipment. - A. M.) more perfect. But on each plane of the US air force has charged 10, but because of cheaper Russian-Chinese machines. And not skill, and the number of traffickers manage to protect their territory. What to do?"

The authors offer a graceful exit. According to long-term Meteorologiya in Equatorial South America during the whole year around noon high probability of strong storm rains, and, according to the CIA, the pilots of the cartel at this time of day, try not to get in the air (in the document. - A. M.). On the day of the planned operation of high-altitude aircraft-"invisible" USAF processes clouds above a certain purpose, to bring rain and thunderstorms likely. The enemy planes remain in the hangers, and an American all-weather combat vehicles brilliantly carry out a revenge.

To fight with climate cheaper

At first glance, we offer the situation looks incredible. For example, why such a rich traffickers not to fork out on the Russian all-weather fighters su-30 or buy somewhere on the black market of modern missile systems? But the meaning of the action is clear: it is much cheaper to cause rain, risking one or two aircraft than to endanger the pilots of dozens or hundreds of machines. Using weather encouraged to other shares on the territory of the perceived enemy - make floods, to provoke toxic rains: reagents, causing rain - silver iodide or solid carbon dioxide, - added poisons, amazing fresh water sources and plants. And you can blow on the enemy multi-fog is a good way, for example, to demoralize poorly educated warriors little, but still proud of Arab or African country.

Summing up his analytical papers, the authors say that a good idea for the U.S. to withdraw from the Convention on the prohibition of military impacts on the environment", and believe that the significance of climate weapon will produce in the world such a coup, as the first atomic bomb. And weapons is first of all interested by the major powers. So, for example, to make the same U.S.'t forget to think about world domination, enough for several years in seasons with suitable climatic conditions "send" to major cities of this country hurricanes like destructive "Katrina". As long as humanity virus software can do nothing against such disasters.

How to pay off a hurricane

- So far there is no information that people will learn to make a "to order" typhoons and hurricanes. But to recover them in the Bud already know how. Though not very powerful. According to my information, the Americans tried to stop the hurricane "Katrina", - told "KP" Modeler weather senior researcher of the laboratory of physics of aerosols Institute of physics of the St. Petersburg state University Sergei VASILIEV, but failed. From satellite imagery shows that the hurricane has several times changed its direction and then weakened, then poured still might. It is somewhat unusual. As if it were moved by someone's hand. Or something artificial. For the USSR and Russia struggle against typhoons was not paramount scientific problem, as they suffered only a minor part of the country - the Sakhalin and Kamchatka. And Americans have achieved great success in this business. The essence of the methods of struggle is the same as with hail and storm clouds. Using special chemicals that can cause or, conversely, to prevent immediate precipitation. Theoretically it is known that, zaseeva the plane of those substances "eye of the Typhoon, his rear or the front part by creating a pressure difference and temperature, cause to walk him "on a circle", or simply to stand still. The problem is that every second you need to consider many of the constantly changing factors. You need huge amounts of reagents. I repeat that the Russian meteorologists know about it only theoretically. Americans seems to be trying to do something and in practice. And, of course, conceal their results - it is a matter of national security. And the fact that Katrina still turned towards New Orleans, although initially it seemed that the element will pass, scientists have not been able to foresee all the consequences of the experiment. These thoughts are tempting me strange trajectory of the hurricane. But the truth is, I'm afraid we'll know more very soon.

By the WAY

In the United States began trying to put out the hurricane in the middle of 60-ies of the last century. One of the successful experiments was conducted in 1969 near the shores of Haiti. Tourists and locals saw a huge white cloud from which differed huge ring, as if some giant smoked a pipe. Meteorologists showered Typhoon iodide silver and managed to Unscrew it from Haiti to the coast unfriendly Panama and Nicaragua. However, this hurricane was ten times weaker destructive "Katrina" and a special bed to no avail.

THE ISSUE

Is it possible to send frosts?

Now almost all of Russia is suffering from unusually cold weather. In many regions the temperature is lower than usually in the middle of January, 10 - 15 degrees. Like in climatic film-catastrophe "day after Tomorrow": from the upper layers of the atmosphere, where there is eternal 70 - 100-degree frost, a powerful whirlwind began to suck and drop to the surface of icy air. Fiction? While Yes. But theoretically possible. And what can scientists in practice? If they can fill the frost on their own?

- Can - meets Gennady MAZUROV, Professor of the Department of meteorology, climatology and environmental protection of the Russian state meteorological University. - It is well-known for fantastic novels "nuclear winter". The explosion of several nuclear bombs or simultaneous eruption of the volcano will create over the planet dust veil, sunproof, and there will come a long winter, which can last from several months to decades. But I hope no one on Earth would ever think to conduct this experiment.

- Well, actually you can freeze the territory of a potential enemy?

- Use of cold - no. But to get them to hold out a little longer - quite. If the snow fell, and then hit the frost, you need only to disperse clouds over the territory. Natural water clouds unlike dust passed down the rays of the sun, but do not let them back, creating the greenhouse effect - programa atmosphere. And if "not to let the cloud" hostile territory, the greenhouse effect will not, and the rays of the sun, the snow on the surface will reflect back. In the end, heating the air and the surface will not happen - approximately the climatic situation we have now in Antarctica.

Means, on the contrary, expelling the clouds, we'll raise the temperature?

- Yes, it is real. In each region, of course, their terms. But if now over Moscow to create a dense layer of clouds, the temperature was at least 5 - 10 degrees above. However, in this case we are talking about the usual temperature fluctuations without the participation of somebody's evil will. And frosts will soon subside.
