If it seems like it never stops raining, blame the Russians. Or even the North Koreans.
CIA chiefs fear hostile nations are trying to manipulate the world’s weather, a conference heard.
A leading academic has told how he got a mysterious phone call asking whether foreign countries could be triggering droughts or flooding.
Professor Alan Robock, from Rutgers University in New Jersey, said: ‘Consultants working for the CIA rang and said we’d like to know if someone is controlling the world’s climate would we know about it?
‘Of course they were also asking – if we control someone else’s climate would they then know about it.’
The professor is one of many scientists from around the world are actively looking at manipulating the weather as a way of combating climate change.
Geoengineering techniques range from cloud seeding, in which chemicals are sprayed by planes trigger rainfall, to shooting mirrors into space to reflect sunlight and cool the Earth.
Professor Robock told the callers that any attempts to meddle with the weather on a large scale would be detectable.
