Environmental warfare is "defined as (1) the intentional modification
of a system of the natural ecology, such climate and weather, earth systems such
as the ionosphere, magnetosphere, tectonic plate system, and/or the triggering
of seismic events (earthquakes) (2) to cause intentional physical, economic, and
psycho-social, and physical destruction to an intended target geophysical or
population location, (3) as part of strategic or tactical war.
Weapons Developed in Secret
"Environmental war however carried out is almost always a violation of the 1977 United Nations Treaty against modification of the
environment. Thus, environmental weapons are developed in secret, and acts of
environmental war are carried out covertly, as both environmental weapons and
war are illegal under international law. Environmental war is generally carried
out as a strategic deception (Psyops).
"Environmental war weapons systems can include chemtrails, chemical weapons
systems (climate and weather modification) and electromagtnetic weapons systems
(climate and weather modification; seismic warfare).
"Some definitions of environmental war are more broad. For example, the use
of Depleted Uranium in the Yugoslavia war has been termed
environmental war."

ENMOD
Reference to "environmental warfare" is often made as to ENMOD for
"environmental modification techniques".
"The term for enviromental modification by humans is ENMOD. It refers to
altering ocean currents, depletion of the ozone layer or production of
greenhouse gases. Since 1946 ENMOD has included weather modification, primarily
via cloud seeding in attemptes to remove fog from airports, make it rain and
augment snowpacks. In the 1950s, ENMOD held a convention to prohibit nations
from using weather modification as a weapon. Since the 1960s governments have
tried to alter the upper atmosphere by dumping copper needles into the
ionosphere trying to create an artificial ionospheric to enhance the reliability
of radio communications. They also tried launching chemicals and suggested
bacteries as well for communications enhancements. In the 50s and 60s 300
megatons of nuclear bombs were exploded in the atmospheres which released large
amounts of charged and radioactive particles as well as over 40,0000
electromagnetic pulses. Between 1962 and 1983 hurricane modification experiments
tried seeding with silver iodide which seemed to reduce peripheral winds by 10%.
"Today radio frequency technology is attempting to use ionospheric heating to
change temperature and alter weather. Heating the ionosphere (35 miles above the
surface) can have the effect of reducing the air density in the region beneath
the heating (as the column of air rises). This would be an effective defense
weapon as incoming missiles would lose trajectory and fall short of their mark.
Radio waves used to heat the ionosphere would interact with the charged
particles found at that altitude. This would create a magnetic phenomena known
as a mirror force which would push that section of air upward and outward. The
radio waves could change the atmosphere to act as a lense for focusing sunlight
and heat a specific part of the earth or manipulate local wind patterns. It
could alter jetstream patterns to increase rain in drought areas and even reduce
devastating hurricanes. There is a device on the drawing boards to accomplish
just this. The caution is that by fooling around with nature, we may unleash
irreversible damage and change our entire planet's atmosphere."
