The Associated Press reports today that the Obama administration has held
discussions regarding the possibility of "geo-engineering" the earth's
climate to counter global warming by "shooting pollution particles into the
upper atmosphere to reflect the sun's rays." However, such programs are
already being conducted by government-affiliated universities, government
agencies, and on a mass scale through chemtrail spraying.
The AP report states that Obama's science advisor John Holdren is pushing
for radical terra forming programs to be explored such as creating an
"artificial volcano". Despite Holdren's admission that such measures could
have "grave side effects," he added that, "we might get desperate enough to
want to use it."
"Holdren, a 65-year-old physicist, is far from alone in taking
geoengineering more seriously. The National Academy of Science is making
climate tinkering the subject of its first workshop in its new
multidiscipline climate challenges program. The British parliament has also
discussed the idea," reports AP.
"The American Meteorological Society is crafting a policy statement on
geoengineering that says "it is prudent to consider geoengineering's
potential, to understand its limits and to avoid rash deployment."
However, a study of past and ongoing upper atmosphere aerosol programs
confirms that the government has been active in this field for years.
The Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program was created in 1989 with
funding from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and is sponsored by the DOE
's Office of Science and managed by the Office of Biological and
Environmental Research.
One of ARM's programs, entitled Indirect and Semi-Direct Aerosol Campaign
(ISDAC), is aimed at measuring "cloud simulations" and "aerosol retrievals".
Another program under the Department of Energy's Atmospheric Science Program
is directed towards, "developing comprehensive understanding of the
atmospheric processes that control the transport, transformation, and fate
of energy related trace chemicals and particulate matter."
The DOE website states that, "The current focus of the program is aerosol
radiative forcing of climate: aerosol formation and evolution and aerosol
properties that affect direct and indirect influences on climate and climate
change."
U.S. government scientists are already bombarding the skies with the
acid-rain causing pollutant sulphur dioxide in an attempt to fight global
warming by "geo-engineering" the planet, despite the fact that injecting
aerosols into the upper atmosphere carries with it a host of both known and
unknown dangers.
The proposal to disperse sulphur dioxide in an attempt to reflect sunlight
was discussed in a September 2008 London Guardian article entitled,
Geoengineering: The radical ideas to combat global warming, in which Ken
Caldeira, a leading climate scientist based at the Carnegie Institution in
Stanford, California, promoted the idea of injecting the atmosphere with
aerosols.
"One approach is to insert "scatterers" into the stratosphere," states the
article. "Caldeira cites an idea to deploy jumbo jets into the upper
atmosphere and deposit clouds of tiny particles there, such as sulphur
dioxide. Dispersing around 1m tonnes of sulphur dioxide per year across 10m
square kilometres of the atmosphere would be enough to reflect away
sufficient amounts of sunlight."
Experiments similar to Caldeira's proposal are already being carried out by
U.S. government -backed scientists, such as those at the U.S. Department of
Energy's (DOE) Savannah River National Laboratory in Aiken, S.C, who last
year began conducting studies which involved shooting huge amounts of
particulate matter, in this case "porous-walled glass microspheres," into
the stratosphere.
The project is closely tied to an idea by Nobel Prize winner Paul Crutzen,
who "proposed sending aircraft 747s to dump huge quantities of sulfur
particles into the far-reaches of the stratosphere to cool down the
atmosphere."
Such programs merely scratch the surface of what is likely to be a
gargantuan and overarching black-budget funded project to geo-engineer the
planet, with little or no care for the unknown environmental consequences
this could engender.
What is known about what happens when the environment is loaded with sulphur
dioxide is bad enough, since the compound is the main component of acid
rain, which according to the EPA "Causes acidification of lakes and streams
and contributes to the damage of trees at high elevations (for example, red
spruce trees above 2,000 feet) and many sensitive forest soils. In addition,
acid rain accelerates the decay of building materials and paints, including
irreplaceable buildings, statues, and sculptures that are part of our nation
's cultural heritage."
The health effects of bombarding the skies with sulphur dioxide alone are
enough to raise serious questions about whether such programs should even be
allowed to proceed.
The following health effects are linked with exposure to sulphur.
- Neurological effects and behavioral changes
- Disturbance of blood circulation
- Heart damage
- Effects on eyes and eyesight
- Reproductive failure
- Damage to immune systems
- Stomach and gastrointestinal disorder
- Damage to liver and kidney functions
- Hearing defects
- Disturbance of the hormonal metabolism
- Dermatological effects
- Suffocation and lung embolism
According to the LennTech website, "Laboratory tests with test animals have
indicated that sulfur can cause serious vascular damage in veins of the
brains, the heart and the kidneys. These tests have also indicated that
certain forms of sulfur can cause foetal damage and congenital effects.
Mothers can even carry sulfur poisoning over to their children through
mother milk. Finally, sulfur can damage the internal enzyme systems of
animals."
Fred Singer, president of the Science Environmental Policy Project and a
skeptic of man-made global warming theories, warns that the consequences of
tinkering with the planet's delicate eco-system could have far-reaching
dangers.
"If you do this on a continuous basis, you would depress the ozone layer and
cause all kinds of other problems that people would rather avoid," said
Singer.
Even Greenpeace's chief UK scientist - a staunch advocate of the man-made
global warming explanation - Doug Parr has slammed attempts to geo-engineer
the planet as "outlandish" and "dangerous".
Stephen Schneider of Stanford University, who recently proposed a bizarre
plan to send spaceships into the upper atmosphere that would be used to
block out the Sun, admits that geo-engineering could cause "conflicts
between nations if geoengineering projects go wrong."
Given all the immediate dangers associated with bombarding the atmosphere
with sulphur dioxide, along with the unknown dangers of other
geo-engineering projects, many people are concerned that "chemtrails" are a
secret component of the same agenda to alter the Earth's eco-system.
This graphic proposes, "Spraying aluminum powder and barium oxide into high
levels of the atmosphere, again delivered by aircraft, to increase planetary
reflectance (albedo) and cloud cover." High levels of barium have been found
in substances associated with chemtrails.
Reports of chemtrails, jet plumes emitted from planes that hang in the air
for hours and do not dissipate, often blanketing the sky in criss-cross
patterns, have increased dramatically over the last 10 years. Many have
speculated that they are part of a government program to alter climate,
inoculate humans against certain pathogens, or even to toxify humans as part
of a population reduction agenda.
In conducting Google searches, one finds discussion, such as this example,
of using sulphur dioxide as a jet fuel additive to be dispersed over the
world during routine commercial flights.
"I suggest that both the sulphur dioxide and the silica particles could be
delivered into the stratosphere by dissolving an additive in jet aviation
fuel," writes engineer John Gorman, who has conducted experiments to test
the feasibility of such a scenario.
"We would want to burn fuel containing the additive specifically when the
aircraft was cruising in the lower stratosphere," he adds.
Earlier this year, KSLA news investigation found that a substance that fell
to earth from a high altitude chemtrail contained high levels of Barium (6.8
ppm) and Lead (8.2 ppm) as well as trace amounts of other chemicals
including arsenic, chromium, cadmium, selenium and silver. Of these, all but
one are metals, some are toxic while several are rarely or never found in
nature.
The newscast focuses on Barium, which its research shows is a "hallmark of
chemtrails." KSLA found Barium levels in its samples at 6.8 ppm or "more
than six times the toxic level set by the EPA." The Louisiana Department of
Environmental Quality confirmed that the high levels of Barium were "very
unusual," but commented that "proving the source was a whole other matter"
in its discussion with KSLA.
KSLA also asked Mark Ryan, Director of the Poison Control Center, about the
effects of Barium on the human body. Ryan commented that "short term
exposure can lead to anything from stomach to chest pains and that long term
exposure causes blood pressure problems." The Poison Control Center further
reported that long-term exposure, as with any harmful substance, would
contribute to weakening the immune system, which many speculate is the
purpose of such man-made chemical trails.
Indeed, barium oxide has cropped up repeatedly as a contaminant from
suspected geoengineering experimentation.
KSLA also put aerosolized-chemical testing in its historical context, citing
a voluminous number of unclassified tests exposed in 1977 Senate hearings.
The tests included experimenting with biochemical compounds on the public.
KSLA reports that "239 populated areas were contaminated with biological
agents between 1949 and 1969."
One of the accepted truisms of scientific study is the fact that if
scientists are proposing an idea, then those scientists with access to the
bottomless pit of black-budget secret government funding are already doing
it.
It is highly likely that chemtrails are merely one manifestation of
"geo-engineering" that is taking place without proper debate, notification
or any form of legality, and with a callous disregard for the potential
dangers to both our health and our environment.
