I think to stop the ``shock-and-awe'' wars should be the pre-requisite
to fighting against increasing belligerent weather-related conditions.
It is so because the incessant ``shock-and-awe'' bombings introduce a
great deal of instability into the global environment when the
atmospheric system is being jerked around.  It also generates a ton of
heat, debris, and pulverized chemicals of all sorts that change the
composition of the local air currents which are then driven around the
globe over and over and wreak havoc in an unpredictable fashion but
with greater amplitude all the time.  And it exacerbates the impact of
global warming.  By itself, i believe that global warming would not be
as ferocious.  But with the large amount of sharp fluctuations brought
in at each modern war, beginning with Gulf War I, then the Balkan War
in 1995, then Balkan War II in 1999, then Afghanistan, then Iraq since
2003.  It is crazy to overlook the impact of all these fearsome strikes
have had on the weather system.
