Where did this HAARP nonsense I keep hearing about come from? (lemmy.ml)

So, I heard several people now mention HAARP as the cause for all the natural disasters that have been happening lately. And here I thought the cause was rampant pollution and global warming!

But seriously, I'm looking at the HAARP page on wikipedia and it seems to be an array for studying the ionosphere? How in the hell do you go from "we're using this to see what's happening way up there in the sky" to "this causes tornadoes"? Who even started this garbage?

That's just what they want you to think!

As far as I know, the "logic" is as follows:

The ionosphere is very important for the weather
HAARP is doing something with it
Obviously not just studies, these antenna arrays use lasers or radiation to influence it directly.
