 International Organization, v. 29, no. 3, summer 1975: 805-826. 



"In the past few decades we have been improving our understanding of 

 the weather system and exploring ways to modify it. Over sixty countries 

 have experimented with modifjing the weather. The new technology of 

 weather and chmate modification will raise important political problems 

 which will demand new responses from the international community. Whether 

 states will be able to establish the cooperative measures necessary to develop 

 and manage new technology depends upon whether there are sufficient 

 incentives to do so. This article analyzes the historical patterns of interna- 

 tional cooperation in meteorology, and then plots against several time hori- 

 zons projected developments and capabilities in weather modification 

 technology and the potential problems emerging fr«m using the technology. 

 It derives a tentative picture of the responsibilities demanded, compares 

 the likely responses with those needed, and assesses whether they will be 

 adequate for the problems projected."
