Heatwave

I was reading here the other day about weather control and I know that microwaves "magnetrons" were at one time thought to be great for heating homes.

Now with those things said. Could airport radars be running at some super high output to heat an entire country "I'm thinking illegally high levels of power into the radar systems. Run them day and night just heating all the air for hundreds of miles around them for days or weeks. I say this because till last week we were running -20F from the norm mornings still in the 50's or 60's when 80 is normal for this time of year.

Virtually all electricity that's used turns to heat, whether it's creating microwaves or just heating up an element. Sorry, but unless we're suddenly generating way more electricity to run the radars, your idea is a non-starter.

If you want to heat up the planet the best way to do it is to change the albedo. Sprinkle black particles in glaciers and such.

Edit: However, if you can either form clouds or prevent clouds from forming, that would alter the planet's albedo, which could cool or heat up the planet.

Hmm To be accurate.

If your pc uses 500w of power that means it is disapating 500w of heat

Right. One exception is when that energy gets stored. For example charging a capacitor or using it for endothermic chemical reactions, like splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen. The other exception is when it's turned into light and escapes through the atmosphere into space.
