Is HAARP responsible for global warming?

Question

I read on some forums that HAARP could be responsible for global warming, do you think its true?

By the way, i dont think it is, just what i read and found interesting

Answer 1

No, this is obviously ridiculous.

The power densities involved in HAARP are minute compared to the real effects: sunlight, modulated by greenhouse gasses.
Global warming is caused by excess power at a level of a few watts per square meter over the entire Earth.
That is to say, a few x 10^15 Watts.
The HAARP transmitter is capable of 3.6 MW, but this is pulsed with a short duty cycle. The average power is only a few tens of kilowatts, enough to significantly warm perhaps a square kilometer.

Answer 2

I've heard this before and have no idea where the notion came from in the first place or even why. It's akin to claiming that cell-phone masts are responsible for global warming or radio or TV transmitters.

I think sometimes what happens is that if someone doesn't understand something they read all sorts of things into it. I'm not claiming to understand HAARP but I do know the basics of it and it's not something that could contribute to global warming.

If I recall, some of the conspiracy theorists claim it's been developed as a kind of ultimate weapon that could jam or control all transmitted frequencies and so render an army useless by knocking out all forms of comminication, radar, sonar etc.

Answer 3

Do you quite think this nonsense that you just maintain asking questions approximately, or are you simply trolling? HAARP does no longer reason earthquakes, it does no longer manage the elements. Iran turns out to have plenty of earthquakes given that production is awful there, or even mild earthquakes, which could do nearly no harm within the US, can also be totally damaging there. There has under no circumstances been any conclusive proof that "truly" climate amendment does some thing efficient, and HAARP without doubt does not anything. You ought to quit studying conspiracy blogs and the Weekly World News and check out settling on up a technological know-how textbook. EDIT: I have graduate coaching identical to Ph.D.'s in each plasma physics (pulsed vigour) and atmospheric technological know-how, and I've performed study in seismology. The matters you're suggesting are quite simply no longer feasible.

Answer 4

HAARP is an Enigma
in theory it can draw storms together to make a huge one ,by punching a hole in the Atmosphere
Maybe tsunamis can be caused by HAARP,
but i dont know about Global Warming
And Global Warming is already getting plenty of help ,because of deforestation,

and polution ,
it doesnt need HAARP

Answer 5

It s so funny to me that people with absolutely no technical knowledge of the environment or HAARP have such strong opinions about it. I m not an expert but I would like to only hear from people who actually know not a bunch of j#$%asses.

Answer 6

NO!

HAARP has absolutely NOTHING to do with weather, climate control, burning a hole in the sky, death rays, or anything else along those lines.
What HAARP is:
HAARP is a scientific endeavor aimed at studying the properties and behavior of the ionosphere, with particular emphasis on being able to understand and use it to enhance communications and surveillance systems for both civilian and defense purposes.

Answer 7

I like to know how it benefits humanity and our planet. What I do know is that there is an awful lot of money spent on weapons and HAARP is only in the interest of the military.

Answer 8

No, I don't think so.

But it is amazing the weird beliefs some people have about technical things they do not understand.

Answer 9

Hahahaha.... that's really really funny... Thanks for cheering up my day....
