      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 a thousand 
  people have died and tens of thousands are homeless. The Dominican Republic, 
  Jamaica, Cuba, the Bahamas  and Florida have also been 
  devastated.   
  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.
