This is no joke - the war with the help of weather possible. For example, not so difficult to seed clouds in the sky for military purposes. The Geneva Convention, of which we speak, was held in 1977. Then there was the decision to prohibit military or any other hostile use of environmental exposure through technical influences. In particular, it prohibits large-scale, long-lasting or significant impact on the weather as the means of destruction, damage or injury.
However, earlier in the contract nothing was said about the inadmissibility of weather changes. So the United States used the weather before the Geneva Convention in the war in Vietnam. In 1968, they increased the number of clouds in the sky over the Ho Chi Minh trail to 30% in the hope that this strategically important road network would be difficult to use because of the large number of rain. The same method was used, and the Americans in other situations the Vietnam War.
Today, the war with the help of the weather is prohibited, and the United States say they will no longer use this method.
