The Copenhagen Consensus Center (CCC) analyzes the world's greatest challenges and works with organizations concerned with mitigating the problems facing the world.
With the process of prioritization, the center aims to establish a framework in which solutions to problems are prioritized based upon economic and scientific analysis of distinct subjects.
This process first took place in 2003, when some of the world's best economist wrote papers on the major challenges facing the earth. A panel of stellar economists, including four Nobel laureates, produced a prioritized list of opportunities, responding to the challenges by using the papers produced by the first group of economists.

Interviews with The Tibetan Photo Project

 

Tibetan Photo Project.
The goal of The Tibetan Photo Project is to provide the tools and technical education in photography to create a voice from the films and photos by Tibetans.
While there have been thousands of great visual works documenting the Tibetans, most have been from the perspective of the Western eye.
The Tibetan Photo Project is working to present the Tibetans' own perspective through the Website, exhibits, films, DVDs and other visual programs created from their own photographic work or by film and photo efforts directed by Tibetans.

ResearchChannel is a nonprofit media and technology organization that connects a global audience with the research and academic institutions whose developments, insights and discoveries affect our lives and futures.
An intellectual community, ResearchChannel was founded in 1996 by leading research and academic institutions so they could share the work of their researchers with the public. These ideas are shared in their original form — unmediated and without interruption. Today, more than 70 participating members and affiliates provide all programming, and that number continues to grow.

RAF rainmakers 'caused 1952 flood' - Unearthed documents suggest experiment triggered torrent that killed 35 in Devon disaster
John Vidal and Helen Weinstein - Thursday August 30, 2001 - The Guardian
On August 15, 1952, one of the worst flash floods ever to have occurred in Britain swept through the Devon village of Lynmouth. Thirty five people died as a torrent of 90m tons of water and thousands of tons of rock poured off saturated Exmoor and into the village destroying homes, bridges, shops and hotels.

Project STORMFURY was an ambitious experimental program of research on hurricane modification carried out between 1962 and 1983. The proposed modification technique involved artificial stimulation of convection outside the eyewall through seeding with silver iodide.

Code Name - Popeye (also known as Operation Intermediary or Operation Compatriot)
Project Popeye was a clandestine, all-service military/civilian program conducted by aircraft during October 1966 over southren Laos in order to (1) test known weather modification techniques in the Southeast Asia environment and (2) provide an operational evaluation of the concept of impeding traffic on the Viet Cong infiltration routes by increasing the amount of rainfall and the legnth of the rainy season. During the experimental phase of the program, 56 targets were selected, 36 of which, randomly chosen, were seeded with silver iodide smoke produced by free-falling or aircraft-borne pyrotechnic generators.

Weather as a Force Multiplier: Owning the Weather in 2025
A Research Paper presented to Air Force 2025 - August 1996
In 2025, US aerospace forces can "own the weather" by capitalizing on emerging technologies and focusing development of those technologies to war-fighting applications. Such a capability offers the war fighter tools to shape the battlespace in ways never before possible. It provides opportunities to impact operations across the full spectrum of conflict and is pertinent to all possible futures. The purpose of this paper is to outline a strategy for the use of a future weather-modification system to achieve military objectives rather than to provide a detailed technical road map.
