Weather Control Technology: The Future of Climate Management

The idea of controlling the weather using technology has been transformed from what was once a fantasy into a real scientific field. Even though the application of weather manipulation on a large scale is still a theoretical construct, research is being done into promising technologies and methods with encouraging results. As global climate change and natural disasters are on the rise, weather modification technologies can be the key for easing these issues.

1. Cloud Seeding

Cloud seeding is the most beloved weather control technique and also the most commonly known one. To that end, substances like silver iodide or salt are spread off into clouds to including rain. In several countries, cloud seeding has been used for drought mitigation, water supply to increase, and fog control at airports. But, doubts are still there regarding its long-run effectiveness and environmental impacts.

2. Hurricane Modification

Studies are being carried out on ways to alter the direction of hurricanes or weaken them. Research is being done on such techniques as injecting cold water into the ocean or using wind turbines to disrupt hurricane winds. These are hypothetical methods, and as such, they may be able to stop storms from causing mass destruction, though it is hard to tell.

3. Laser Technology

Laser-based weather control is a novel branch of science, that can allow humans to decide the course of lightning storms in the future. Scientists are studying the process of using high-energy lasers to ionize the air which creates a path of desirable lightning to land safe on the ground. This technology has the potential to save people from lightning strikes which is the major problem of severe storms.

4. Geoengineering

Geoengineering is a larger set of technologies intended to manipulate the Earth’s climate to balance the consequences of global warming. The idea of solar radiation management is one way to do this; where particles are released into the stratosphere to reflect sunlight and cool the planet. The use of this method may act as a shield to global warming but most definitely, the long-term ecological impacts of the interventions are still largely unknown.

Ethical Considerations and Challenges

Unintentional consequences

For instance, weather modification may hurt the normal weather patterns, which will result in rainfall shifts in the neighboring areas, or it may disturb the natural ecosystems.

Impact on the environment

The impending development of geoengineering projects introduces threats to the environment, such as loss of biodiversity and the alteration of the ocean currents.

Ethical dilemmas

The capability to manipulate the weather brings about grave ethical concerns regarding the just distribution of the benefits and the potential for abuse.

Benefits

Food security will arise as a result of weather control as it acts to enhance the production of crops.

Preventing disaster: Employing these strategies ensures that the consequences of climate-related disasters are greatly diminished.

Economic Development: Protection of the buildings and the materials.

Challenges

Environmental Impact: Unanticipated outcomes of weather control.

Ethical Concerns: The question of who has the right to control the weather.

Technical Limitations: Limitations in the technology for scalability and efficacy.

Emerging Trends

Space-Based Weather Control: Solar radiation management through the use of satellites.

Artificial Weather Systems: The grand scheme of weather modification.

Nanotechnology: Weather alteration at the molecular scale.

AI-Powered Weather Forecasting: The ability to predict with greater accuracy.

The Future of Weather Control

Even though weather control technology is still in the early stages, it has some potential for alleviating serious global issues such as climate change and food security. Nevertheless, moving ahead with caution and reflecting on the ethical as well as environmental consequences of such actions are of utmost importance.

Conclusion

Weather control technology sits on the borderline of science and ethical dilemmas. Although the promise of tackling global challenges is attractive, it is necessary to treat weather control technology with caution and respect the ecological and ethical aspects. As science and technology progress, there must be an open discussion about responsible weather modification practices.

Money Above the Law; Bribery

Welcome back to Ethics 101! 😁

Today’s blog will highlight bribery as an unethical issue in the criminal justice system, especially among law enforcement officials such as police officers. Is it ethical for police officers to accept bribes from citizens? Is it right for the wealthy to evade the law, simply because our officers can be bought? I think not!

According to Gan Integrity Glossary, Bribery refers to the “criminal and corrupt practice where an entity offers something of value to a corporate or public official in exchange for their cooperation in influencing a decision-making process, committing or allowing fraud against the official’s organization, or otherwise violating their official duties”(Gan Integrity, n.d.). In essence, bribery is the unethical act of influencing someone’s decision or allowing them to think a certain way by offering them valuable items or cash. 

Is the Bribe Worth it?

The Corruption (Prevention) Act (section 14, subsection 1&2) clearly warns against bribery, and states that any such act is an act of corruption, for which the perpetrator will be held liable to prosecution for the offence. It is sad to know that bribery has been and continues to plague the criminal justice system in more ways than one. Politicians are one of the many groups of individuals who are guilty of offering bribes to citizens. During the Jamaican election period, it is a popular campaign tactic to offer money, empty promises, chickens, water tanks and other items to citizens in exchange for their votes. This is unethical and our ministers need to do better and put an end to this culture, as it is the root from which all other forms of corruption begin. This ethical issue goes against “justice, equality and fairness’’, the pillars on which the criminal justice system was founded thus the CJS is failing the society at large. Imagine our officers who are tasked with serving and protecting us, violating the law and condoning the actions of law breakers! In Jamaica, it has become a trend for many police officers to accept bribes while on traffic duty. So, rather than giving drivers tickets for dark tints, speeding, no seatbelt, or otherwise these officer accept cash and allow these traffic violators to go free. A gleaner article dated September 2019, highlights one scenario in which three police officers were accused of breaching the Corruption Act by soliciting $6000 from a motorist who committed a road traffic violation. They were charged, offered a $200,000 bail and scheduled to return to court at a later date (Jamaica Observer, 2019). Accepting the bribe was definitely not worth it. 

Ethical or Unethical?

Bribery is clearly unethical and morally wrong; therefore, police officers and other law enforcement officials should refrain from participating in such acts, not only because there are negative consequences but because it goes against their code of conduct. These criminal justice practitioners are responsible to serve and protect all, not just those who are able to “afford your price”. This can eventually lead to citizens losing faith in the justice system, as it would appear that the scales are tipped in the direction of those with bigger pockets. 

A New Way of Operating

In order to improve the Criminal Justice System, 

it is imperative that law breakers are held accountable no matter their class, financial situation or job title.

the various oversight of the CJS must keep a watchful eye to ensure that the laws are not being broken by those who are tasked with enforcing them

the various disciplinary bodies of the CJS must ensure that such acts of corruption are met with serious consequences in an effort to prevent reoccurrences. 

these officers must be constantly reminded that “No one is above the law” and that it is their duty to deliver justice to all. 

One cap must fit all as it relates to the obedience of the law and justice should not have a price tag; therefore, realistic changes must be made within the field of criminal justice to ensure that bribery (a popular act of corruption) is minimized.

What Happened? A Timeline of the Baltovich Case

The legal proceedings of the Baltovich case were long and exhausting. Let’s dive into a timeline of the important events that took place…

June 19th, 1990: Elizabeth Bain disappears (1).

November 19th, 1990: Baltovich is arrested and charged with first- degree murder, despite no finding of Bain’s body (1).

February 4th, 1992: Baltovich’s first trial commences. The charge is dropped to second- degree murder in light of evidence brought forward by both the defence and the Crown (1).

March 31st, 1992: Baltovich is found guilty of second- degree murder charge, receiving a life sentence for the crime (1).

May 1992: Baltovich files an appeal with a new attorney as he believed his defence counsel in the first trial was incompetent. Baltovich also believed many ethical issues occurred in his first trial and addresses these in his formal request for an appeal (1).

May 16th, 1992: The appeal is filed with the Ontario Court of Appeal and Baltovich remains in jail until the scheduled hearing (1).

March 2000: Association in the Defence of the Wrongly Convicted agrees to take Baltovich’s case and requests release of Baltovich while his appeal is considered. By this point Baltovich had been imprisoned for over eight years. He is then released pending the appeal (1).

September 2004: Ontario Court of Appeal reviews the case and orders a new trial on the grounds that there were drastic errors in the first trial. However, they state an acquittal will not be automatically received and a jury must make a new formal decision (1).

April 2008: Second jury finds Baltovich not guilty of the new charge of second- degree murder minutes into the retrial and it is decided an inquiry into the case will not be conducted (1).

📷

Baltovich spent 18 years attempting to clear his name and was able to do so upon presenting a compelling case during his retrial. He presented the inadequacies of the first trial and showcased the fact that he was deprived of a fair and balanced charge/ trial.

Baltovich’s case is not the first miscarriage of justice and will certainly not be the last. The disastrous effects on Baltovich’s life from a wrongful conviction are ones that can never be undone. He spent 18 years attempting to clear his name and will now spend the rest of his life attempting to make up for the time he lost while behind bars (2). He legally cleared his name but restoring his reputation is a much harder job and Baltovich states that regardless of his newfound innocence by the court system, there will always be individuals who believe he is guilty (2). Baltovich highlighted the true heartbreak of his miscarriage of justice by stating “Wrongful accusations can be devastating to even the strongest person. I don’t think you ever really become you again.” (2). Throughout the entirety of the 18 years of the legal proceedings, Baltovich maintained his innocence and worked diligently to be acquitted of the charges wrongfully laid on him (1).

“Ethics is about how we meet the challenge of doing the right thing, when that will cost more than we want to pay.”

- The Josephson Institute Of Ethics.

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to my academic blog! My name is Kadian Wright, I am a second year Criminal Justice student at the Northern Caribbean University. This blog will be focused on various aspects of the course Ethics and Jurisprudence and the discussions to follow will be based on ‘ Ethical Issues within the Criminal Justice System.’

What is ethics? You may ask 👇🏽

If you are curious to know, the criminal Justice system is made up of;

Law Enforcement

The Court System

Corrections

These branches consists of police officers, wardens, probation and parole officers, lawyers, judges etc. throughout the course of their service these individuals are often faced with many different ethical issues. These issues involves intimidation, use of excessive force, bribery, being impartial, regressive sentencing, and sexual exploitation. We will be discussing these ethical issues as we go along.

See you next time.

Excessive Force... Ethical or Unethical?

Welcome back to Ethics 101!😁

In this blog we will be focusing on the use of force, specifically excessive force, and whether or not it is truly an ethical issue. In order for individuals within the Criminal Justice System (CJS) to be able to carry out their roles effectively, they must be given certain powers, one of which is their ability to use force when carrying out certain duties. This power can be directly linked to persons within the law enforcement branch of the CJS.  We often here the phrase, “with power comes great responsibility” thus rules that govern conduct are put in place to ensure that their powers are being used in the right manner and for the right reasons. 

The Force Using Force

Good conduct is a foundational principle that governs the CJS and according to the Code of Conduct for Police officers, an officer may ONLY USE REASONABLE FORCE and only in situations of “making a lawful arrest, in self-defense and to protect other officers and citizens who are facing an immediate threat” (Jamaica Constabulary Force, n.d). This power is also given to correctional officers, members of the Jamaica Defense Force (JDF) and members of security forces when the situation demands it. Therefore, it is safe to say that when officers use the minimum amount of force and use it as a last resort when faced with impending danger, to serve and protect the nation, then it is considered ethical by law. On the other hand, the use of force can become an issue/ unethical when it becomes excessive or is being used for the wrong reasons. But where do we draw the line? How do we know the point at which it becomes unethical?

How much is ‘too much’?

If we are being honest, Jamaica is plagued with violence and it has seeped into the criminal justice system. Numerous videos can be found that provide solid evidence of instances where police officers have beaten citizens and even inmates who were neither a threat to themselves nor others. So, do you see the issue here? I definitely do! Force becomes excessive, unlawful, and unethical when it is used in such a way that the victim’s life is at risk. Going back to the police officers’ code of conduct, it clearly outlined that, “it is unlawful for force to be used to punish misbehavior, for revenge or in response to a spoken insult. If an injury is inflicted upon any individual or prisoner, for such reasons, it is considered to be gross professional misconduct and will result in being sued or criminally charged.”(Jamaica Constabulary Force, n.d).

Unethical Force Today- A Prisoner but Still Human

Officers have developed the habit of using ‘excessive/deadly’ force as a first resort and as a quick response to simple verbal abuse such as insults, and such actions are contrary to what is outlined by law (making these actions unethical).  On February 21, 2022, the Jamaican Gleaner reported an incident involving  dancehall artiste Leroy Russell, popularly known as ‘Tommy Lee Sparta’ who is serving a 3 years sentence. He was badly beaten by correctional officers to the point where he had to be rushed to and admitted at the Kingston Public Hospital for medical attention. Are we seeing the ethical issue? This inmate was unharmed and posed no imminent threat to the officers, himself or other inmates, so why was ‘deadly’ force used? His right to humane treatment was violated, and since the correctional officers knew the right and did it not, it became unethical use of force. Prisoners are still humans and while their actions may have allowed them to forfeit their right to freedom, their life is still of great value and disregarding their life may result in serious consequences. 

(See Below: Tommy Lee being taken into the Kingston Public Hospital on a stretcher after being badly beaten.)

What can be done?

 Law enforcement officials should ensure that they abide by the laws of the land and their various codes of conduct while carrying out their duties. They should also be informed of the limitations to their powers and to know ‘how much is too much’. Every citizen must be made aware of their rights, so that they can be aware of violations. Criminal justice practitioners who make unethical decisions willingly such as using unwarranted deadly force, must be held liable and this must go for all individuals regardless of rank, position or level of authority because ‘No one is above the Law’. Excessive use of force/ deadly force is never ethical!

The "Evidence"

So, it has been established that Robert Baltovich was the victim of a miscarriage of justice but what now? How did the circumstantial evidence lead to the wrongful conviction of an innocent man? Stick around, you're about to find out...

Key witnesses Marianna Perez and David Dibben's testimonies contributed greatly to the execution of this miscarriage of justice as they were at the core of the Crown's case (1). Perez claimed to have seen Baltovich sitting with Bain on a picnic table at 5:40pm on the day of Bain's disappearance and although Baltovich retained an alibi regarding his whereabouts during this time frame, the Crown proceeded forward with this evidence. Perez claimed to be unsure of the specific details of that evening, causing the court to have Perez undergo hypnosis in an attempt to sharpen her memories (1). This was a major ethical issue within Baltovich's case as the Supreme Court of Canada had ruled in R v Trochym that witnesses undergoing hypnosis could not provide credible witness testimony, thus making this evidence inadmissible in court (2). Daniel R. Webert states there are three major problems with the use of hypnosis on witnesses; a) they become more susceptible to suggestion as a result of unconscious influence on their beliefs and attitudes, b) they may fill in gaps of their memories to make it more comprehensible for other individuals, and c) there is a belief that hypnosis leads to "memory hardening", in which individuals have increased confidence in their memories, regardless of whether or not they are true or false (3). The work of Daniel R. Webert at the American Criminal Law Review illustrates the ethical issues of hypnosis on witnesses and highlights the sole fact that, although hypnosis may have positive affects, the cost- benefit analysis of its use in legal proceedings shows that hypnosis can lead to wrongful convictions and produce inaccuracies in witness testimony.

Moving on to Dibben, he also presented to the court that he saw Baltovich driving Bain's vehicle on the 22nd of June, three days after her disappearance (1). However, his testimony was also found to have many flaws and his perception of the man he believed to have been Baltovich had changed significantly over time and did not accurately match Baltovich's physical appearance (1). Dibben also later admitted to not paying adequate enough attention at the time of the sighting and stated he did not get a good look at the driver of Bain's vehicle (1). Much like Perez, his memory and description of the individual had evolved as the criminal case moved forward and more information was provided to the witnesses in an unethical manner.

Another important ethical issue that occurred within Baltovich's trial is the use of faulty photo- lineup techniques. Perez, one of the key witnesses for the Crown, completed a photo- line up for the court in which the formatting used was a photo array (5). Perez admitted to selecting an individual within the photo line-up based on a "process of elimination", knowing, based off previously acquired information from the officer conducting the line- up that Baltovich was in fact present in the line-up (1). This is an action that ethical implications as line- ups are required to be conducted in a manner in which members of the force do not know the individuals included in the line-up to allow for the prevention of conveying suggestive information to the witness that may cause them to select the suspect that police are strongly considering as the sole suspect (1). Wells and Quinlivan highlight the sole fact that suggestibility during eyewitness identification procedures, like the photo line-up, can have a significant contribution on the conviction of innocent individuals (6). A lack of structure and function within criminal processes leading up to a trial hearing often leads to the inability to properly identify offenders during conducted testing on witnesses (6).

All evidence presented by the Crown was completely circumstantial and led to a miscarriage of justice. If resources and capabilities had been directed to ensuring the proper acquiring of credible evidence and performance of a fair and proper trial, there may have been an ability to identify the real suspect in the case of Elizabeth Bain's death. Rather than doing so, the Crown invested their assets and time into wrongfully convicting a man for a crime in which he did not commit and allowing the real suspect to roam free, with the ability to cause harm to other societal members.

An understanding of how changes in technology impact on the way humans communicate, and the ethical issues that surround these issue.

Mobile phones are increasingly becoming the most common way we communicate, yet this change comes with problems. We live in a society where mobile phones are used to communicate globally. Depending on the culture of a country, issues surrounding the idea of mobile phones differ. 

A study investigated and compared the usage of mobile phones in Sweden, Japan and the USA. This study explored a number of cultural differences that were problematic, or not, to each country. I found it interesting that they asked all three countries if they use their mobile phone quietly in public spaces. Japan and Sweden said they are quiet, whereas USA expressed that they are not quiet if they need to use their phone in public. (Baron & Segerstad, 2010). This can be an example of ethical issues being prominent in some countries, but not others. If an American were to travel to Japan, they may still use their mobile phone loudly in a public space, and be seen as being rude without understanding why.

The issue of cyberbullying has been an ongoing issue in Australia, and is increasingly getting worse. (Price & Dalgleish, 2010). Australia is now introducing school policies in response to cyberbullying. Australian schools have found a convincing connection between cyberbullying, and technologies being used during school. Many schools have already banned mobile phones from classroom, and Australia believes this is an appropriate and effective implication to decrease the ethical issue of cyberbullying. (Butler & Dalgleish, 2010). The way that students communicate is imperative to their learning, and the presence of cyberbullying is detrimental to students and their education.

Being more mindful about the way we use, and when we use our mobile phones, can ensure that we globally reduce issues relating to our mobile phones.
