"Tampering with the Sky" by Manuel Kaiser is a comprehensive specialist book that addresses the controversial topic of targeted interventions in weather and climate. The author, a historian with in-depth knowledge of the development of atmospheric sciences, sheds light on the technological and societal contexts that enabled discussions about controlling atmospheric phenomena in the 20th century. Particularly during the Cold War, atmospheric sciences experienced a surge closely linked to the development of radar, rocket, satellite, and computer technologies. From the 1960s onwards, meteorologists and politicians began not only to create precise weather forecasts but also to actively intervene in climate and weather. In the 1970s, debates about population growth, food scarcity, and environmental awareness were increasingly viewed critically, shaping the discourse on weather and climate manipulation. This book offers an in-depth analysis of the historical developments and the associated challenges.
