GOES Satellites and the Storm Steering Theory

The central mistake in the storm-steering theory is confusing observation with intervention. GOES satellites really do watch storms continuously. They really do help forecasters see dangerous changes earlier. But the strongest official record says that watching is not the same as steering. GOES turned the atmosphere into a continuously imaged system. That visibility is exactly what made the satellites so useful to science and so vulnerable to conspiracy.
