Today's look at 1977 is going to be brief.
On this date in Madman history, the US, the Soviet Union, and several other nations signed the Environmental Modification Convention. This pact prevented nations from weaponizing the weather in order to cause devastating effects towards an enemy nation.
We had to sign a treaty preventing the use of weather WAR machines! What the what?
Was there a Batman villain threatening the to flood Gotham City? This kind of things sounds ludicrous outside the realm of comic books! I've been do this project for 5 months now and so far, this is the craziest thing I've ever heard.
I'm so glad we took immediate care of this issue. It wasn't like nuclear bombs or chemical weapons were any threat to mankind! But let's make sure man doesn't have the ability to make it snow in the Sahara.
Folks, now we know why for the past 40 years Superman just hasn't ended famines in Africa or droughts in California. He's forbidden by international law to do so!
Geez, Louise.
Until next time- maybe keep an umbrella handy...
