Overview

A storm does not need to strike to change a nation's choices. Influence can flow through forecasts, drought schedules, and rumours about who ""controls"" the rain. This book shows how environmental knowledge becomes leverage, and why citizens should understand the playbook before fear fills the gaps. You will learn what physics permits, what remains myth, and how climate security increasingly hinges on data, models, and trust. From weather manipulation claims to real disaster prediction advantages, it explains dual-use tools without sensationalism. It clarifies geoengineering ethics, environmental coercion, and the politics of rivers, dams, and insurance. For strategists, policy leaders, journalists, and curious readers, it offers a disciplined method for assessing risk, mapping escalation, and identifying grey-zone tactics targeting supply chains, infrastructure, and public confidence. Instead of an alarm, you will gain a vocabulary for decisions: when to share data, when to demand verification, and when to draw lines. With climate intelligence, strategic forecasting, and pragmatic water politics, the goal is stewardship over panic, resilience over rivalry, and clarity over conspiracy.

Author Information

Prof. Tariq Al-Mansoori writes at the crossroads of climate science and strategy. Trained as a climatologist and seasoned by years advising on climate risk, he examines how environmental knowledge reshapes power, security, and public trust. His mission is to bring discipline and clarity to a field crowded by hype, grounding hard questions of coercion, consent, and responsibility in accessible science. As the author of War and Weather, he has mapped the human decisions behind storms, droughts, and preparedness. A quiet thread runs from the Indian Ocean monsoon pilots to today's satellite constellations: communities have always read the sky for safety and meaning. Al-Mansoori asks how that wisdom can inform modern guardrails so that tools built for resilience are not turned into instruments of pressure.
