HAARP

Teggy mentioned this in another thread, so I figured I would thread it up.
HAARP is real.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haarp
Conspiracy theories about HAARP range from very likely to fucking nuts. Let's go over them then discuss, eh?
First, what is HAARP and what does it do? Nikolai Tesla developed the idea that if you sent low frequency radio waves into the ionosphere, it will temporarily and slightly warm. This warming will, of course, cause a change in air pressure where it is aimed, affecting the weather. This premise was made reality with the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP), "an investigation project jointly funded by the United States Air Force, the United States Navy, the University of Alaska, and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) which aims to 'provide a research facility to conduct pioneering experiments in ionospheric phenomena... used to analyze basic ionospheric properties and to assess the potential for developing ionospheric enhancement technology for communications and surveillance purposes.' Started in 1993, the project is proposed to last for a period of twenty years. The system was designed and built by Advanced Power Technologies[citation needed] (APTI) and since 2003, by BAE Systems Inc." It was built over an Over-The-Horizon (OTH) base site, which is another interesting piece of cold war tech. The US runs three ionospheric warming facities, including HAARP: the HIgh Power Auroral Stimulation (HIPAS) observatory in Fairbanks, AK and another in Puerto Rico.
There is no actual proof for any of the conspiracy theories surrounding the facility. These include, but are not limited to, HAARP creating Hurricane Katrina, HAARP causing global warming, and HAARP protecting the US coast by making the 2006 hurricane season so damn lackluster (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_Atlan ... ane_season). I don't believe any of these, though the latter seems the most likely. Still, likelihood is not certainty and it appears an el Nino event began in 2006.
Discuss.
