For all the people doubting existence of geomagnetic and climatic weapons, there are several international treaties adopted which  ban military application of those weapons but allow civilian one,    1. Convention on the Prohibition of Military or Any Other Hostile Use of Environmental Modification Techniques (UN General Assembly resolution 31/72 of 10 December 1976, ratified by Russia (as Soviet Union) and the USA, among others. “Art. 2. As used in article I, the term “environmental modification tech niques” refers to any technique for changing—through the deliberate manipu lation of natural processes—the dynamics, composition or structure of the Earth, including its biota, lithosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere, or of outer space.” 3. Any State Party to this Convention which has reason to believe that any other State Party is acting in breach of obligations deriving from the provisions o f the Convention may lodge a complaint with the Security Council of the United Nations. Such a complaint should include all relevant informat ion as well as all possible evidence supporting its validity. 4. Eac h State Party to this Convention undertakes to cooperate in carrying out any investigation which the Security Council may initiate, in accordance wi th the provisions of the Charter of the United Nations, on the basis of the complaint received by the Council. The Security Council shall inform the States Parties of the results of the investigation.” 2.There is also  Convention on Biological Diversity of 2010, which was not ratified by US which would ban some forms of geoengineering.
