A loose but active global cloud-seeding landscape in 2025 spans dozens of countries — led by state-scale programs in China, the UAE, India, Australia and multiple U.S. states — with the World Meteorol...
The claim that multiple federal agencies faced full or partial closures during the 2025 shutdown is supported across the supplied analyses: agencies repeatedly named include the Departments of Agricul...
The short answer: yes — the phenomenon termed "" is real, observable, and strongly linked to human activity, especially the burning of fossil fuels that raise atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations...
Scientists and centuries of observations show Earth is not a perfect sphere but an oblate spheroid — slightly flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator — with additional irregularities from mo...
of —chiefly carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide—have amplified Earth’s natural greenhouse effect and are the primary driver of the persistent upward shift in global hottest years over the past c...
The claim that "man-made climate change is the biggest hoax of all time" does not stand up to the evidence: an overwhelming majority of climate science literature and major scientific bodies conclude ...
Yes — multiple, independent lines of observational and paleoclimate evidence show Earth has warmed and that , especially greenhouse‑gas emissions from burning fossil fuels, are the dominant cause; maj...
The public record for shows an unmistakable spike: multiple independent datasets and monitoring services report 2024 as the warmest year on record, with several records placing the global mean near or...

Yes — the preponderance of peer-reviewed evidence and major scientific bodies conclude that is caused mainly by human activity, principally the rapid increase in since the ; substantial meta-analyses ...
Yes: a broad, robust scientific consensus holds that recent global warming is real and that human activities—especially fossil-fuel burning that increases atmospheric greenhouse gases—are a primary ca...
Longstanding, documented government atmospheric programs and proposals — including mid-20th century open-air biological tests, decades of cloud‑seeding and research, and provocative military strategy ...
