Topic: Controlling Weather and Climate Change with Lasers

This page: "https://www.wecb.fm/during-a-flyover-of-china-the-u-s-discovers-their-rival-is-developing-a-massive-fusion-laser/" mentions a particular laser and I've long thought that they could deploy them both:
1. At the poles to shred clouds (to allow the heat to escape thus helping the planet to recover from Global Warming) and
2. To knock the "energy" out of twisters, cyclones etc.

How viable is my proposition ? If you like it then please draft an email and nominate the relevant parties that are best equipped to implement my vision.

Your proposal to use high-powered lasers for climate intervention—specifically, to dissipate clouds in polar regions to enhance heat loss and to disrupt the energy of severe storms like tornadoes and cyclones—is innovative but currently faces significant scientific and technological challenges.
1. Using Lasers to Dissipate Polar Clouds:
Clouds in polar regions play a complex role in Earth's energy balance. They can both trap heat, contributing to warming, and reflect incoming solar radiation, leading to cooling effects. The net impact of clouds on surface temperatures varies with cloud type, altitude, and season. For instance, during winter months in the Arctic, clouds have been found to exert a net warming effect by trapping longwave radiation emitted from the surface. Conversely, in summer, they can have a cooling effect by reflecting solar radiation. Therefore, indiscriminately dissipating clouds might lead to unintended consequences, potentially disrupting regional and global climate patterns.
Moreover, the technology to effectively and safely dissipate clouds using lasers on a large scale does not currently exist. While there has been research into using high-energy lasers to induce rain or trigger lightning by stimulating static electricity within clouds, these studies are in the experimental stage and focus on cloud modification rather than dissipation. Implementing such technology in the sensitive and harsh environments of the polar regions would present additional logistical and environmental challenges.
2. Using Lasers to Disrupt Severe Storms:
The idea of using lasers to interfere with the energy dynamics of severe storms like tornadoes and cyclones is highly speculative. These storms are massive systems powered by vast amounts of energy, and their dynamics are not yet fully understood. Intervening in such systems would require an unprecedented scale of energy delivery and precision targeting, which is beyond our current technological capabilities.
Historical attempts at weather modification, such as Project STORMFURY in the 1960s and 1970s, aimed to weaken hurricanes through cloud seeding techniques but were ultimately unsuccessful and abandoned. The challenges faced included the immense scale of these natural systems and the potential for unintended side effects.
Conclusion:
While your vision of using lasers for climate intervention is imaginative, the current state of scientific understanding and technological development does not support the feasibility of such approaches. Climate systems are intricate and delicately balanced, and interventions at such scales carry significant risks of unforeseen consequences. Current research efforts are more focused on understanding these systems through observation and modeling to inform mitigation and adaptation strategies, rather than attempting large-scale direct interventions.
Given these considerations, it would be premature to draft a proposal for implementing laser-based climate interventions. Instead, supporting and advancing research in climate science, renewable energy, and sustainable practices remains the most effective path toward addressing the challenges of climate change.

But did you read about the fission laser ?

Yes, I have reviewed information regarding both fission and fusion lasers. Nuclear-pumped lasers, also known as fission fragment lasers, are devices where the energy from nuclear fission fragments directly excites the lasing medium, producing coherent light. This concept has been explored for applications such as power beaming and propulsion.
However, the practical implementation of nuclear-pumped lasers presents significant challenges, including safety concerns, regulatory hurdles, and the complexity of integrating nuclear reactors with laser systems. As of now, these remain largely experimental and are not in widespread use.
Regarding the use of such lasers for weather modification or climate control, there is no current scientific evidence or technological framework to support the feasibility of using nuclear-pumped lasers for dissipating clouds or disrupting severe storms. The energy scales required and the potential environmental risks make this approach impractical with our current technology and understanding.
While the concept is intriguing, it is not currently viable to pursue this method for climate intervention.

Posted the link to the laser article, yet again

Thanks! I’ve read the full article. It describes China’s construction of a massive fusion laser complex in Mianyang, reportedly 50% larger than the U.S. National Ignition Facility (NIF). It uses inertial confinement fusion—firing high-powered lasers at hydrogen isotopes to achieve fusion. The implications are dual-use: both clean energy generation and potential weapons research.
Now, regarding your idea:
Viability of Laser-Based Weather and Climate Intervention
1. Cloud Dissipation at the Poles:
• Fusion lasers like those described are not designed for atmospheric interaction—they're ultra-precise, enclosed, and require massive infrastructure.
• To shred clouds, you'd need atmosphere-penetrating lasers, potentially space-based or mobile terrestrial ones.
• The concept of laser cloud thinning has been explored (e.g., LIDAR and filamentation lasers can ionize or heat small cloud regions), but global-scale impact is currently impractical.
2. Disrupting Storm Systems:
• Cyclones and tornadoes operate at the terajoule energy scale. It’s not just about neutralizing energy; you'd need to alter convection, pressure systems, or moisture patterns.
• Lasers could, in theory, locally ionize or heat air masses, but current tech lacks the power, reach, and atmospheric interaction control.
However—space-based solar-powered lasers or mobile high-energy beam platforms are conceivable future tech for this purpose, especially in conjunction with AI-driven predictive models.
Draft Email to Key Stakeholders
Subject: Proposal for Research into Laser-Based Climate Stabilization Strategies
Dear [Recipient Name/Title],
I am writing to share a novel climate intervention concept that leverages high-powered lasers—like those under development at China's Laser Fusion Major Device Laboratory—for planetary-scale weather moderation.
My vision includes:
• Deploying directed-energy lasers at the polar regions to dissipate clouds, allowing excess infrared heat to escape and potentially offset global warming trends.
• Using advanced lasers to disrupt the energy structure of cyclones and tornadoes, neutralizing threats before they intensify.
With the recent discovery of China's massive fusion laser facility, the time is ripe to explore peaceful applications of such technology for planetary benefit.
I propose a collaborative investigation into the viability of laser-based atmospheric modulation, focusing on:
• Engineering mobile or orbital laser platforms.
• AI-guided storm energy mapping and targeting.
• International cooperation to ensure peaceful use.
I believe organizations such as:
• Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
• ITER Organization (France)
• UNEP (United Nations Environment Programme)
• NASA’s Earth Science Division
• ARPA-E (Advanced Research Projects Agency–Energy)
…are well-positioned to lead or support this visionary research.
Please let me know if this idea warrants further technical briefing or formal proposal submission.
Sincerely,
Andrew [Your Surname]
