China's Weather Army

So yeah. I am more than a little worried about this. I mean, how messed up is this:

                               

“37,000 part-time workers--mostly peasant farmers--who are on call to blast away at clouds with 7,113 anti-aircraft guns and 4,991 rocket launchers.”

 

I mean seriously.  Isn’t the world at large a little worried about this? Are we going to shift from the “missile gap” to the “cloud cover gap”? This is pretty fucked up right here…
