Sponsored by The Light Millennium

Co-sponsored by the Campaign for the Earth, The Ribbon International, Peace Action, Peace Caucus, and The Turkish Cultural Center, NY.

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. Geo-engineering projects, such as dumping iron in the oceans to stimulate plankton growth and sequester carbon or creating a cloud with persistent jet contrails to increase the albedo (reflectivity) of the planet, could have far-reaching impacts on humans, animals, and plants.
