viable enough that the UN has a resolution banning weaponized weather modification.

Remember the Beijing Olympics?
That's how viable it is.
Beijing is a smog-filled shithole but while the Olympics were being held the weather was seriously altered to clean the air.

wow, that's scary. to me its more threatening in ideal than a nuclear bomb. maybe not as damaging, but the ability to control something completely natural like that is one of the purest examples of humanity rising beyond being just an animal. a bit god-like desu.

also it wouldn't necessarily need to be done specifically on a battlefield. It can be an attack causing economic damage in an undeclared war.

yeah, especially if screwing about with the weather system has unforseen long term effects, setting patterns in motion unwittingly that could have consequences for millenia.
