"Technology advancements in five major areas are necessary for an
integrated weather-modification capability: (1) advanced nonlinear modeling techniques, (2)
computational capability, (3) information
gathering and transmission, (4) a global sensor array, and (5) weather
intervention techniques. Some
intervention tools exist today and others may be developed and refined
in the future."

"Current technologies that will mature over the next 30 years will offer
anyone who has the necessary resources the ability to modify weather patterns and their corresponding
effects, at least on the local scale.
Current demographic, economic, and environmental trends will create
global stresses that provide the
impetus necessary for many countries or groups to turn this
weather-modification ability into a capability.
In the United States, weather-modification will likely become a part of
national security policy with
both domestic and international applications."

"People have always wanted to be able to do something about the weather.
In the US, as early as 1839,
newspaper archives tell of people with serious and creative ideas on how
to make rain. In 1957, the
president’s advisory committee on weather control explicitly recognized
the military potential of weather modification,
warning in their report that it could become a more important weapon
than the atom bomb."

"Today, weather-modification is the alteration of weather phenomena over
a limited area for a limited
period of time. Within the next three decades, the concept of
weather-modification could expand to include
the ability to shape weather patterns by influencing their determining
factors. Achieving such a highly
accurate and reasonably precise weather-modification capability in the
next 30 years will require
overcoming some challenging but not insurmountable technological and
legal hurdles."

US Air Force, 1996, pg 4-5
"In the broadest sense, weather-modification can be divided into two
major categories: suppression and
intensification of weather patterns. In extreme cases, it might involve
the creation of completely new weather
patterns, attenuation or control of severe storms, or even alteration of
global climate on a far-reaching and/or
long-lasting scale."

"On the other hand, the weather-modification applications proposed in
this report range from technically
proven to potentially feasible."

US Air Force, 1996, pg 6
"Advances in these two areas would make it feasible to affect regional
weather patterns by making
small, continuous nudges to one or more influencing factors.
Conceivably, with enough lead time and the
right conditions, you could get “made-to-order” weather."

Following is an excerpt from Michel Chossudovsky's website in reference to weather modification:
Environmental
warfare is defined as the intentional modification or manipulation of
the natural
ecology, such as climate and weather, earth systems such as the
ionosphere, magnetosphere, tectonic plate system, and/or the triggering
of seismic events (earthquakes) to cause intentional physical,
economic, and
psycho-social, and physical destruction to an intended target
geophysical or population location, as part of strategic or tactical
war." (Eco News)
What are the underlying
causes of extreme weather instability, which has ravaged every major
region of the World in the course of the last few years?
Hurricanes and tropical storms
have ravaged the Caribbean. Central Asia and the Middle East are
afflicted by drought. West Africa is facing the biggest swarm of
locusts in more than a decade. Four
destructive hurricanes and a tropical rain storm Alex, Ivan, Frances,
Charley and Jeanne have occurred in a sequence, within a short period
of time. Unprecedented in hurricane history in the Caribbean, the
island
of Grenada was completely devastated: 37 people died and roughly
two-thirds of the island's 100,000 inhabitants have been left homeless;
in Haiti, more than two thousand people have died and tens of thousands
are
homeless. The Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Cuba, the Bahamas and
Florida have also been devastated. In the US, the damage in several
Southern states including Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi and
the Carolinas
is the highest in US history.
A study released in July 2003,
by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) places the blame,
without further examination, at the feet of global warming:
"These record extreme
events [high temperatures, low temperatures and high rainfall amounts
and droughts] all go into calculating the monthly and annual averages
which, for temperatures,
have been gradually increasing over the past 100 years," the WMO said
in its statement (CNN, July 3, 2003, http://www.cnn.com/2003/WEATHER/07/03/wmo.extremes/
)
While global warming is
undoubtedly an important factor, it does not fully account for these
extreme and unusual weather patterns.
Weather Warfare
The significant expansion in
America's weather warfare arsenal, which is a priority of the
Department of Defense is not a matter for debate or discussion. While,
environmentalists blame the Bush
administration for not having signed the Kyoto protocol, the issue of
"weather warfare", namely the manipulation of weather patterns for
military use is never mentioned.
The
US Air Force has the capability of manipulating climate either for
testing purposes or for outright military-intelligence use. These
capabilities extend to the triggering of floods, hurricanes, droughts
and earthquakes. In recent years, large amounts of money have been
allocated by the US Department of Defense to further developing and
perfecting
these capabilities.
Weather modification
will become a part of domestic and international security and could be
done unilaterally... It could have offensive and defensive
applications and even be used for
deterrence purposes. The
ability to generate precipitation, fog, and storms on earth or to
modify space weather, ... and the production of artificial weather all
are a part of an integrated set of technologies
which can provide substantial increase in US, or degraded capability in
an adversary, to achieve global awareness, reach, and power. (US Air Force, emphasis added. Air
University of the US Air Force, AF 2025 Final Report, http://www.au.af.mil/au/2025/
emphasis added)
While there is no firm evidence that the US Air
Force weather warfare facilities have been deliberately applied to
modify weather patterns, one would expect that if these capabilities
are being
developed for military use, they would at least be the object of
routine testing, much in the same way as the testing of new
conventional and strategic weapons systems.
Needless to say, the subject matter is a
scientific taboo. The possibility of climatic or environmental
manipulations as part of a military and intelligence agenda, while
tacitly acknowledged, is
never considered as relevant. Military analysts are mute on the
subject. Meteorologists are not
investigating the matter, and environmentalists are strung on global
warming and the Kyoto
protocol.
Ironically, the Pentagon, while
recognizing its ability to modify the World's climate for military use,
has joined the global warming consensus. In a major study (pdf)
, the Pentagon has analyzed in detail the implications of various
global warming scenarios.
The
Pentagon document
constitutes a convenient cover-up. Not a word is mentioned about its
main weather warfare program: The High-Frequency Active Auroral
Research Program (HAARP) based in Gokona, Alaska --jointly managed
by the US Air
Force and the US Navy.
