Are climate fluctuations caused by unusual changes in natural factors? Or are they the result of a nation’s actions wielding questionable technology? Is there a weapon that can alter the Earth’s climate?
The idea of a “climate war” is currently believed by many.
Recently, American meteorologist Scott Stevens accused the Russian military of causing Hurricane Katrina, which devastated New Orleans. According to him, since the Soviet era, Russia has built a special system that adversely affects the climate.
In fact, it’s not just the U.S. that suspects and accuses Russia. In 2002, some European politicians also accused the U.S. of harming their economies through intense artificial flood storms. Also in 2002, the Defense Committee of the Russian Duma publicly criticized the U.S. military.
According to Russia, the U.S. has deployed a special research center in Alaska, 400 km from Anchorage. This research program generates auroras using high-frequency radio waves, known as HAARP (High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program).
The Russian newspaper Pravda wrote: “Scientific journals confirm that HAARP has the capability to create artificial auroras, destroy missile radar stations, communicate with submarines in the ocean, and even detect the enemy’s secret underground bases… Furthermore, HAARP can negatively impact the atmosphere, altering the Earth’s climate. It can also trigger natural disasters similar to the recent Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.”
Pravda also confirmed that the U.S. and Russia have developed secret climate weapons. It is known that there are currently three centers of this kind in the world: the first is HAARP in Alaska, the second is in Norway, and the third is Saura in Russia.
Currently, the Saura center operates about 100 hours per year, while the HAARP center operates up to 2,000 hours per year, which is 20 times more than Russia. In other words, the U.S. spends $300 million annually, while Russia only allocates $40,000 per year.
Yuri Tokarev, a researcher at NIRFI, stated: “The impact on the climate is a possibility, but it cannot reach the catastrophic scale of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Russia does not have such capabilities, nor does the U.S.”.
