Tim:
I know there is a lot speculation out there, but some compelling evidence as well.
Our good friends in Canada on the CBC have done an examination and report.

And the EU itself is concerned what the US is doing.

A small excerpt:
HAARP - a weapons system which disrupts the climate
On February 5, 1998's Subcommittee on Security and Disarmament of the European Parliament hearing on Yahoo HAARP. Representatives of NATO and the U.S. were invited but chose not to participate. The Commission regrets that the USA to send to answer questions and did not use the possibility presented material to provide an explanation (22).
HAARP, the research program of high frequency radiation (High Frequency Active Auroral Research Project) is run jointly by the U.S. Air Force and Navy, in cooperation with the Geophysical Institute of the University of Alaska, Fairbanks. Similar experiments are also conducted in Norway, probably in the Antarctic, but also in the former Soviet Union (23). HAARP is a research project using equipment on the ground, an array of antennae each powered by its own transmitter, heated parts of ionosphere (24) with powerful radio waves. The energy generated heats up parts of the ionosphere with the result that there are holes in the ionosphere and artificial lenses'.
HAARP could be used for many purposes. The electrical properties of the atmosphere can manipulate enormous forces be sent. If used as a weapon, the devastating effects on the enemy. Through HAARP can deliver millions of times more energy to an exact location to be directed than any other conventional channel. The energy can also be directed at a moving target, which could be useful in the fight against enemy missiles.
The project would also allow better communications with submarines and the manipulation of global weather patterns. The opposite is possible to disrupt the communication. Through the ionosphere can affect the global communication disturbance, while the communication from the user passes. Another application of the system is to make x-rays of the earth several kilometers depth (earth-penetrating tomography) to locate oil and gas fields, but also underground military facilities. Over the horizon radar that can look around and objects at long distance can define a further application of the HAARP system. In this way, approaching objects are searched after the curvature of the earth's surface.
Since the early '50s, the U.S. in the Van Allen belts nuclear material detonated to investigate the effects of nuclear explosions at such high altitudes because of the electromagnetic pulses during the explosion, had for the transmission of radio signals and operation of radar. This created new radiation belts almost the whole earth. The electrons move along magnetic field lines over the Arctic and created an artificial aurora. The danger is that the Van Allen belt arising from these military trials of serious and prolonged disruption is. The magnetic field of the earth over large areas can be disturbed so that radio communications impossible. According to U.S. scientists can take hundreds of years for the Van Allen belt to return to normal. HAARP can change weather patterns entail. It can also affect the entire ecosystem, especially in the sensitive Antarctic regions.
Another damaging effect of HAARP, the holes in the ionosphere caused by the powerful radio beams are emitted. The ionosphere protects us from cosmic radiation. It is hoped that the holes will fill again, but the experience of change in the ozone layer point in opposite directions. This means that the protective ionosphere big holes.
The enormous impact on the environment HAARP is a global problem and it is doubtful whether the benefits of this really outweigh the risks. The ecological and ethical implications must be closely examined before any further research and testing takes place. HAARP is in the public opinion almost entirely unknown and it is important that the general awareness on the project is extended.
HAARP is linked to fifty years of intensive space research for military purposes, including as part of "Star Wars", with the intention of the upper layers of the atmosphere and communications control. This kind of research should be considered a serious threat to the environment are considered, with an incalculable impact on human life can have. Now nobody knows what impact HAARP can bring. The culture of secrecy in military research must be combated. The right to openness and democratic scrutiny of military research, and parliamentary research should be promoted.
By the light of a series of international treaties (Convention on the Prohibition of Military or any Other Hostile Use of techniques to environmental change, the Antarctic Treaty, the Treaty on principles governing the behavior of states in the exploration of space, including the Moon and other celestial bodies, and the UN Convention on Law of the Sea) is HAARP emerged as highly questionable, not only from a humanitarian and political grounds, but also from a legal perspective. The Antarctic Treaty, the Antarctic may be used only for peaceful purposes (25). This means that HAARP is a breach of international law. All the implications of new weapons systems should be examined by independent international bodies. Further international agreements designed to protect the environment during wars against unnecessary damage.
