The Government Is Already “Geo-Engineering” The Environment

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.
