Haven't we been manipulating weather through cloud seeding and other techniques for decades now? I mean wide-scale irrigation is weather manipulation if you want to get right down to it.

Yeah i never considered that, we seed clouds offshore to prevent rain or pump in water to simulate rain. But in regards to irrigation the rain has still fallen over land and was collected. But those just single weather events alterations. Manipulating the wind patterns with permeant structures has the potential to be a climate altering change.
