We have been talking about ecological stuff in my sociology class and my teacher told us about this US government project, HAARP, that is potentially extremely harmful to the earth. I thought it was interesting because they (the Pentagon) say that it is a great communication device while the environmentalists like to point out that it is potentially a weapon because it subjects the earth to direct sun rays by blasting holes in the ionosphere.

Forget Mars, I'll take Jupiter..... Nuetralize the gases there and have the biggest planet for everyone to rent out space on!
The first All Anime/Jpop/Kpop/Jrock/Oriental... STORE in the outerspace!
I also add....... we'll sell Katana's Wakizashi's and Kodachi's...... did I fail to mention our latest Kung-Fu and Ninja apparel? MWAHAHA
Ninjas in space? Wah!
That's interesting, btw. I've never heard of the project. If it's harmful to the environment, they better stop it. Sheesh.

Yeah, just like that time greenhouse gases disolved the ozone and melted the icebergs covering the world in water, a water world if you will. It gave Kevin Costner gills. Gills for godsake, gills!!

I've known about HAARP for about 10 years now. It's not a WMD, in that it doesn't target things, but I suppose that kind of thing (punching holes in the ionisphere) could cause a lot of damage to the environment, but I don't think you can accurately predict where that damage is going to go.
I used to have a ton of great info on this thing but I lost it awhile ago. My general opinon of it is that it's not a good thing, although I'm sure one of our resident neocons will be in, in a minute to weigh in on how it's the greatest thing since the neutron bomb.

... I don't think you can accurately predict...
That's the problem with most of these technologies isn't it? You don't know what the effects on the long therm are.
Genetic manipulation, cell phone radiation.... :(
