Can weather be controlled?

Pakistan Media Watch is a blog that I usually visit to see the critical analysis of the Pakistani media and the conspiracy theories in circulation on the media. Certainly not the place i would expect to end up discussing HAARP :). However , as it happened , HAARP found some space in the Pakistani print media and its interesting  to know that such conspiracy theories are now being discussed by the mainstream journalists / scientists in our society. Nevertheless , here is the link to the post by Pakist"an Media Watch:

And here are my comments (currently in moderation on the site):

It is perhaps right that mainstream media should not indulge in conspiracy theories as it might damage the way our society perceives things. However , there has to be some sort of a group looking into this from every point of view.

Anyways , the conspiracy theorists use the concept of HAARP to depict that weather can be controlled. I have no problems with debunking HAARP but the whole point is that with HAARP or without HAARP ‘Can weather be controlled?’. Here is my answer:

So i would say if this can be done then certainly weather of an area can be tampered to received more rainfall than usual and cause floods. To me this is quite similar to the way we use fertilizers to crop output from earth. Why should one be shocked if the same can be done to the clouds to artificially enhance their rain output.
