Joanna,
That is an excellent question. It doesn't serve much purpose to merely identify that there are wicked men in positions of power, servants of Satan, manipulating the elements and nature. To benefit from this knowledge, we must discern what is their ultimate aim or goal.
In a word, the answer to your question is, this is all for: Antichrist. All this technological manipulation of the elements is to prepare the way for the Antichrist, "whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders."
Christians have been taught the signs of the end of the world and the consummation of all things:
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. ―Matthew 24:4-8
Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: ―Matthew 24:29
And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. ―Luke 21:25-26
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? ―2 Peter 3:10-12
These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will. ―Revelation 11:6
Earthquakes in diverse places, the sea and the waves roaring (tsunamis/tidal waves/storm surges), the stars falling from heaven (meteor/comet strikes) the elements melting, drought from lack of rain, volcanic eruptions (sea turning to blood), etc. are all connected to the consummation of all things, and the second coming of Christ.
Since Christians recognize that Christ has already come, it will be necessary for Antichrist to seek to deceive us by imitating Christ's second coming. Since the second coming of Christ is preceded by many signs and wonders (including the natural phenomena enumerated above), it will be necessary for the servants of Antichrist to prepare all sorts of signs and wonders in the earth, sea, and the heavens, in order to convince Christians that the return of Christ is imminent. When the Antichrist is made manifest, he will also perform numerous miracles himself, including seemingly dying, and rising from the dead.
That is the ultimate purpose of this international cabal, which has been perpetrating earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, hurricanes and typhoons, tornadoes, drought, lightning, thunderstorms, flooding, (supposed) meteor strikes, etc.
The two holy prophets of God, Enoch and Elijah, will be endowed with the power to shut up heaven so that it does not rain during their prophecy. Assuredly, Antichrist will desire to imitate these miracles via his false prophets.
That is why it is critical for Christians to recognize and understand that it is technologically feasible to manipulate the elements and cause these cataclysmic phenomena in nature, so people do not falsely ascribe signs to God what is in reality coming from Antichrist and his servants, with the aid of the demons.
We see this already taking place, for many have been led astray by these lying signs and wonders which are already happening in our time. There are a number of Messianic/Protestant groups out there making claims that whenever the United States attempts to force Israel to make concessions and give up land, that some sort of earthquake or storm or natural disaster quickly follows. Hence simple-minded Christians who do not understand the Faith very well are easily beguiled into supporting the Antichrist Jewish state.
The thought has not occurred to them that the politicians, who are given marching orders by the secret society whom they have sworn to serve, to go out and pass resolutions or sign treaties forcing concessions upon the Zionist state, are part of the same secret society that is perpetrating the earthquakes, hurricanes, and such. So it is not difficult for them to orchestrate the cause and effect of these events to coincide.
As America Has Done To Israel Paperback – March 4, 2008
by John McTernan
Is America on a collision course with God?
There is a direct correlation between the alarming number of massive disasters striking America and her leaders pressuring Israel to surrender her land for "peace."
Costing hundreds of lives and causing hundreds of billions of dollars' damage, dozens of disasters including devastating earthquakes, raging fires, hurricanes, floods, tsunamis, and violent tornadoes have hit America–and always within twenty–four hours of putting pressure on Israel.
What can you do as an individual––and what can America do––to change the direction of our country in relation to Israel and prevent the increasing number of calamities?
