This B.C. company says it can change the weather to stop lightning and wildfires — but won’t say how

The startup company Skyward Wildfire claims it can prevent wildfires by disrupting lightning before it strikes. Its website says it uses “government-approved methods” to neutralize the potential electric charge in storm clouds during periods of high fire weather risk, reducing lightning strikes — and the fires they can cause — in the first place. Experts say it’s possible — but the science is murky and few details are available.
