Scott Stevens (born 1966) worked for many years as a local weatherman for the television station KPVI News Channel 6 in Pocatello, Idaho.
He gave his final broadcast on Thursday, September 22, 2005, to work full-time on his unique theories of the source of extreme weather events. He has become one of the largest proponents of a theory that events such as major hurricanes, such as Katrina, are actually being created by Japanese scientists (Yakuza weather engineering) using advanced weather modification technology obtained from the USSR during the cold war,[1][2] or by American deep black project scientists as countermeasures. On Stevens' website, he cites the research of Tom Bearden.
The views of Stevens and Bearden are far from the mainstream and have been described as "laughable"[3]. The vast majority of meteorologists believe that existing scientific theories explain major weather events adequately; Occam's razor suggests that there is no reason to presume the existence of advanced weather modification technology.
Weather control is a legitimate scientific study, with hundreds of scientists studying various methods for modifying weather patterns and several private companies selling methods to increase the probability of rain over certain areas. However, no mainstream published research has suggested the near-term possibility of the type of control over weather suggested by Stevens and Bearden.
