Since it appears to have been tested in short duration bursts of perhaps a
few hours each and not at all for some time, the chances of it doing anything
with the weather are nill.
People always want to blame extremes in the weather on one thing or another.
Fact is, there would be extremes in the weather whether or not anyone did
anything! Extremes are a fact in any statistical universe. Next we will be
blaming the mudslides in California on people with sun tans! Or
maybe we could combine two loads of hogwash and blame "global warming" on the
cold temperatures in Europe - or is it the other way around?
The effects that I am looking for are more concrete - strong carriers in the
shortwave bands around 10 MHz, a corelated loss or gain of reception in other
bands - that sort of thing.
