Russian political scientist has claimed the United States may be using climate-change weapons to alter the temperatures and crop yields of Russia and other Central Asian countries.
Andrei Areshev, deputy director of the Strategic Culture Foundation, wrote, "At the moment, climate weapons may be reaching their target capacity and may be used to provoke droughts, erase crops, and induce various anomalous phenomena in certain countries." Articles on this have been carried by publications throughout Russia, including "International Affairs," a journal published by the Foreign Ministry and by the state-owned new agency RIA Novosti.
Areshev voiced suspicions about the High Frequency Active Aural Research Program (HAARP), funded by the U.S. Defense Department and the University of Alaska. HAARP, which has long been the target of conspiracy theorists, analyzes the ionosphere and seeks to develop technologies to improve radio communications, surveillance, and missile detection. Areshev writes that that the true aim of HAARP is to create new weapons of mass destruction "in order to destabilize environmental and agricultural systems in local countries."
