(18 May 19770), which forbids the use of weather modification in war, or for other purposes. (See "Excluded from the Copenhagen Agenda: Environmental Modification Techniques (ENMOD) and climate change", Prof. Michel Chossodovsky, Dec 5 2009). Also not discussed at Copenhagen is something that the USA negotiated at the time of the signing of the Kyoto Accord, (which they did not even ratify!). The Pentagon (the USA war headquarters), ...the largest institutional user of petroleum products and energy generally", has a blanket exemption and their carbon emissions are not to be counted in any future international climate discussions and agreements." The Pentagon's aircraft, ships, etc. use at least 320,000 barrels of oil a day. (See "Pentagon's role in global catastrophe: Add climate havoc to war crimes", Sarah Flounders, December 19 2009.
