VW had installed hail cannons at the plant, which fire shockwaves into the atmosphere to prevent the formation of ice stones that had been damaging finished vehicles parked outside its facility. The automaker has officially been granted permission to use hail cannons
According to farmers, VW’s use of hail cannons was causing a drought that has made them lose 2,000 hectares (5,000 acres) of crops.
A spokesman for VW, who met with the state authorities, said on Wednesday that the company would immediately suspend the use of the machines

This is a fascinating thread, trollz. I think your assessment is spot on. If a Car maker can alter the weather for monetary gain, it stands to reason that governments have weaponized it.
When are we going to get, that everything is connected, you can't alter the weather in one area without it affecting other areas, although I doubt Volkswagon gives a rip. I really feel for the farmers that lost their crops and maybe their farms because of this.

So you tend to believe what seems believable to you... A bit like the truth isn't really the truth....
