Conspiracy Theories
Last week after visiting John Earles site I suggested we swap some weather to solve my wet garden and his parched lawn. This led me to find an interesting story about how days after rain making experiments in 1952, the village of Lynmouth was decimated by flooding. That year Devon received 250 times the normal level of rainfall for the year.
You can listen to the documentary here (Real Media format).
Makes you think, if this was happening over 50 years ago what sort of things are happening today and would it explain some of the rather extreme weather conditions that have been occurring over the past couple of years. In the West Midlands last year we even had a tornado which appeared out of no where in Sparkhill.
The picture is an illustration of Patrick Mcgoohan looking rather confused, he thinks everything is a conspiracy.

Kinda makes one wonder if maybe: 1) so-called “global warming” is the result of greenhouse gasses, or maybe weather experiments gone awry; or 2) we have enough control over the weather and climate to inflict droughts or floods at will. Makes a parched lawn or a soggy garden seem insignificant, somehow.

My thoughts exactly. Back in the late ’70’s I saw a show about how they were able to “think” text into a computer with just some ‘trodes connected to the person’s head. I always think that if they were doing that then, oh my, what on Earth must be going on these days.
