The Likudization of the World "....he has cast the United States in the very same role in which Israel casts itself, facing the very same threat.

Enviromental absorbant products manufacturer, Dyn-O-Mat claims to have removed a cloud from Doppler radar and intends to test their product on a hurricane. They have a patent and everything. The federal government spent two decades on Project Stormfury, an attempt to halt storms by 'seeding' the eyewall of a hurricane.

That is, unless we're intentionally causing storms.
