THE WILD CARDS IN CLIMATE CHANGE:
WEATHER WARFARE, GEOENGINEERING AND ENMOD
Department of Public Information, United
Nations,
Non-Governmental Organizations –
60th Annual Conference – New York
Midday Workshop - Conference Room 1
Date: September 5, 2007 Time: 1:15-2:45
PMAs part of the UN/DPI-NGO 60th Annual
Conference’s Midday
Workshop programs (September 5-7,
2007), Light Millennium is leading a program
entitled, “The Wild Cards in Climate
Change: Weather Warfare, Geoengineering
and ENMOD” in the context of “Climate
Change: How It Impacts Us All” on
Wednesday, at the Conference Room#1 on
September 5, 2007.
The co-sponsoring organizations
are: Peace Action, Peace Caucus; The Turkish
Cultural Center, NY; Campaign for the
Earth; and The Ribbon International.
The speakers on the program are:
Professor Zafer AYVAZ, Ege University,
Editor, Ecology (Ekoloji) Magazine, and
President of the Environmental Research
and Protection Agency, Turkey;
Allan BUCKMANN, California State
Fish and Game Department, Retired;
Pauline CANTWELL, Peace Action,
Convener of Peace;
Caucus Rosalind PETERSON, President,
Agriculture Defense Coalition.
The Midday Workshop will be moderated
by Joanne Fleming VALIN, Campaign for
the Earth, Canada.
This workshop will discuss military weapons
designed to intentionally modify the climate
and weather, earth systems, and/or trigger
seismic events as part of a strategic
or tactical war. Environmental warfare
is almost always a violation of the 1978
UN Convention on the Prohibition of Military
or Other Hostile Use of Environmental
Modification Techniques (ENMOD). Geoengineering
projects, such as dumping iron filings
in the oceans to stimulate plankton growth
and sequester carbon or creating clouds
with persistent jet contrails to increase
the albedo (reflectivity) of the planet,
could have far-reaching impacts on humans,
animals, and plants.
One wild card not factored into mainstream
climate change analysis is the failure
to address deliberate weather modification
and weather control, including weather
warfare. Superpower militaries have quietly
made advances to control weather, perfecting
ways to exploit the powerful energies
for tactical advantages in war. The same
labs that brought us nuclear weapons have
been working on these projects in secret.
Professor Zafer Ayvaz will speak on what
international law mechanisms exist to
govern the conduct of nations during wartime.
He will explore how these mechanisms can
be applied to determine whether or not
the military actions of a nation that
result in environmental destruction are
lawful. He will focus on adapting the
United Nations Compensation Commission
(UNCC) to create a framework for civil
compensation for environmental damage
caused by war.
Pauline Cantwell will speak on weather
warfare and ENMOD. Since environmental
warfare, however carried out, is almost
always a violation the1977 United Nations
Convention on the Prohibition of Military
or Other Hostile Use of Environmental
Modification Techniques (ENMOD), this
conference should call for a review and
strengthening.
Another wild card is the harmful effects
of geoengineering projects being promoted
as a solution to climate change. Rosalind
Peterson will speak on climate change
associated with persistent jet contrails
and the man-made clouds they produce,
exploring how jet contrails exacerbate
global warming and change our climate.
Allan Buckmann will address the harmful
effects of geoengineering programs on
plant and animal life. He will speak on
restoration of the ecosystem using accelerated
organic processes. He will discuss the
priorities of water restoration, soil
restoration and plant protection and funding
for such bioremediation projects.
The Light Millennium, as the sponsoring
organization of the program to the UN/DPI
during the Conference, associated with
the DPI/UN on December 12, 2005, which
