Weather control a pipe dream in Johnson era talk
A 1960s UPI column discusses the myth of weather control and President Johnsons push to fund weather modification research. It notes NSF support for fog dispersion cloud seeding hail suppression and storm steering while weighing optimism and skepticism about achieving reliable long range forecasts. It explains 87 percent accuracy as weather forecasters adapt forecasts and cites sampling limitations from uneven observation networks and distant reporting points. It ends with a regional joke about Eskimos and winter forecasting folklore.
