I remember reading about an experiment back in the 50s or early 60s when the US military seeded a small quall out in the Atlantic and it morphed into a Cat4 or Cat5 beast that made landfall and beat the hell out of the American coast states. It's impossible to say with certainty that it wouldn't have done that by itself anyway, but the strong suspicion is that it was greatly enhanced accidentally by the experiment before it ultimately petered out and dispersed normally. Kind of a Butterfly Effect on steroids.
My position is that we learned from those experiments and realized that we don't know enough about our weather systems, wind currents, solar activity, etc., to fool with it lest we create another mega storm that knocks the hell out of populated areas to the tune of hundreds of deaths and billions of dollars in damage.
My Dad was a sergeant in the Army before he got out, and he was privy to some government projects that were unreal in the results and he firmly believed that the government was actively working on weather control, just as the USSR was as a counter. And Alaska is on the frontlines of that particular struggle - we'd try to send storms over Siberia across the strait and they'd return the favor, as Dad told us a few times. I was always pretty skeptical of that notion, same as I am today.
And I've read about the CIA seeding massive systems over Vietnam to make life miserable for the VC in the rainforest jungles, but it wasn't effective - sometimes it worked, other times it didn't. There were too many variables involved, and worse, we didn't know all the variables - and still dont.
Everyone knows we can seed clouds. But we can't control where those resulting enhanced storms travel to, because they create their own winds and there's no way to predict which way it ends up going OR how powerful they'll get. I don't think we're attempting to control it because it's a fool's errand.
The worst hurricanes ever recorded are from the 1800s - early 1900s. I don't think those folk were using slingshots or bow & arrows to seed clouds. They were seeding the South 40 behind a mule.
Sometimes hurricanes form. They form naturally, as they've always done. And sometimes they beat the hell out of the East Coast, just like they've always done.
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
All i can say is I don't know what's possible today,
or what's working to the point of manageable control Night train.
I'm not going off my gut.
But From what I've read, some posted here, weather modification has been an ONGOING project around the world since the 1950s. And a real enough option for hundreds of nations to sign onto a treaty NOT to use it for military purposes.
Not sure how you're so confident that it's extremely unlikely.
What has or hasn't been successful, I'm not as confident as you in saying.
And you know very well that the fact that it's a fools errand has never been a big deterrent for people doing stupid things. Especially if it means gaining an upper hand politically or financially.
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar,
But if they've been spending millions (billions?) on producing special cigars, world wide, for 50+ years it's not crazy to consider that you may be looking at one from time to time.
It is a question worth asking seriously.
despite people's incredulity.

It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. The freeman of America did not wait till usurped power had strengthened itself by exercise, and entangled the question in precedents. James Madison
Live as free people, yet without employing your freedom as a pretext for wickedness; but live at all times as servants of God. 1 Peter 2:16
