The Guardian, Thursday 9 February 2012 21.00 GMT Few in the civil sector fully understand that geoengineering is primarily a military science and has nothing to do with either cooling the planet or lowering carbon emissions (Report, 6 February). While seemingly fantastical, weather has been weaponised. At least four countries – the US, Russia, China and Israel – possess the technology and organisation to regularly alter weather and geologic events for various military and black operations, which are tied to secondary objectives, including demographic, energy and agricultural resource management.
Indeed, warfare now includes the technological ability to induce, enhance or direct cyclonic events, earthquakes, draught and flooding, including the use of polymerised aerosol viral agents and radioactive particulates carried through global weather systems. Various themes in public debate, including global warming, have unfortunately been subsumed into much larger military and commercial objectives that have nothing to do with broad public environmental concerns. These include the gradual warming of polar regions to facilitate naval navigation and resource extraction.

" (...) After a year and a half of postdoctoral research at NASA, Schneider moved to the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR, Boulder, CO) in 1972, remaining a member of the scientific staff until 1996. At NCAR, he co-founded the agency's Climate Project and in 1975 founded the interdisciplinary journal Climatic Change, for which he continues to be the editor. (...) Much of Schneider's time is taken up by what he calls his 'pro bono day job' for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). He was a Coordinating Lead Author in Working Group II of the IPCC from 1997 to 2001 and a lead author in Working Group I from 1994 to 1996. (...)" http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1276082/
1977: In Search Of... The Coming Ice Age Minute: 19 Second: 50 till Minute: 20 Second: 35
"If an ice age is coming: what can we do to stop it? Nuclear energy might be used to loosen polar ice caps. Sea ice could be melted by covering it with black soot to increase the absorption of sun light. Dr. Stephen Schneider is a climatologist from the National Center for Atmospheric research: 'Can we do these things? Yes. But will they make things better? I am not sure. We can't predict with any certainty what's happening to our climatic future. How we come along and intervene at that ignorance you can melt the ice caps? What would that do to the coastal cities? The Cure could be worse than the disease? Would that be better or worsen the risk give an ice age?' "
