Weather manipulation, also known as geoengineering or climate engineering, refers to the intentional large-scale intervention in the Earth's climate system to moderate global warming or otherwise influence weather patterns. The term encompasses a variety of techniques, ranging from carbon dioxide removal methods to solar radiation management strategies. In Hebrew, weather manipulation is called השפעה על מזג האוויר (hashpa'a al mazag ha'ofir). In other languages, it is known as manipulación del clima in Spanish, manipulation du climat in French, and Wettermanipulation in German. Key contextual information includes the ethical, environmental, and political debates surrounding the implementation of such technologies, as well as the potential unintended consequences and the need for international cooperation and governance. Proponents argue that weather manipulation could mitigate the impacts of climate change, while critics raise concerns about the potential for adverse effects, the disruption of natural weather patterns, and the possibility of misuse for military or economic purposes.
