Geoengineering by Solar Radiation Management April 2010 There was a Royal Society report last year entitled Geoengineering the Climate royalsociety.org/policy/publications/2009/geoengineering-climate/Here's what Martin Rees (President of Royal Society) says: GEOENGINEERING THE CLIMATE - FOREWORD: The continuing rise in the atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases, mainly caused by the burning of fossil fuels, is driving changes in the Earth's climate. The long-term consequences will be exceedingly threatening, especially if nations continue 'business as usual' in the coming decades. Most nations now recognise the need to shift to a low-carbon economy, and nothing should divert us from the main priority of reducing global greenhouse gas emissions. But if such reductions achieve too little, too late, there will surely be pressure to consider a 'plan B'—to seek ways to counteract the climatic effects of greenhouse gas emissions by 'geoengineering'. Many proposals for geoengineering have already been made—but the subject is bedevilled by much doubt and confusion. Some schemes are manifestly far-fetched; others are more credible, and are being investigated by reputable scientists; some are being promoted over-optimistically. In this report, the Royal Society aims to provide an authoritative and balanced assessment of the main geoengineering options. Far more detailed study would be needed before any method could even be seriously considered for deployment on the requisite international scale. Moreover, it is already clear than none offers a 'silver bullet', and that some options are far more problematic than others. This report is therefore offered as a clarification of the scientific and technical aspects of geoengineering, and as a contribution to debates on climate policy. The Society is grateful to all the members of the Working Group, and especially to John Shepherd, its chairman. We also acknowledge the valuable inputs from the Council's review group, and the expert support, throughout the exercise, of the Society's Science Policy team. www2.eng.cam.ac.uk/~hemh/climate/Geoengineering_RoySoc.htmSPICE website, Stratospheric Particle Injection for Climate Engineering www2.eng.cam.ac.uk/~hemh/SPICE/SPICE.htm

Mysterious white goo repeatedly found blanketing cancer-stricken Turkish city — are chemtrails to blame? November 26, 2011 Residents of Dilovasi, an industrial suburb just outside of Istanbul, Turkey, have been looking for answers concerning a mysterious substance that, on numerous occasions, has been found covering cars, trees, clotheslines, and vegetable gardens throughout the city. Milliyet, a Turkish newspaper, reports that government officials are currently trying to identify the source of this sticky goo, which has reportedly made a number of people ill and ruined local crops. www.pakalertpress.com/2011/11/26/mysterious-white-goo-repeatedly-found-blanketing-cancer-stricken-turkish-city-are-chemtrails-to-blame/

Solid Proof That Weather Modification Projects Are Being Conducted All Over The United States November 21, 2011 NOTICE OF INTENTION WEATHER MODIFICATION PROGRAM THE SANTA BARBARA COUNTY WATER AGENCY HEREBY GIVES NOTICE OF INTENTION TO CONDUCT A WEATHER MODIFICATION PROGRAM NATURE AND PURPOSE: The purpose of the project is to increase rainfall to help alleviate deficiencies of water supplies in Santa Barbara County. Clouds would be seeded by the dispersal of Silver Iodide (AgI). Two possible modes of seeding, air based and ground based, would be used. LOCATION OF PURPOSE: Project operations could be conducted during the period between November 15 and April 15, for each year, 2011-2012 through 2015-2016. Airborne seeding operations would utilize air space over Santa Barbara County, portions of San Luis Obispo County as well as the Pacific Ocean immediately west of Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo Counties. Ground based seeding operations would be conducted from the Santa Ynez Mountains, the Casmalia Hills and the San Rafael Mountains. The target areas for seeding operations are the watersheds behind Cachuma and Gibraltar reservoirs on the Santa Ynez River as well as Twitchell reservoir on the Cuyama River. LICENSEE: The project would be operated and supervised by a licensed weather modification consultant.

technocracy and its servants - Climate Scientists Pushing for Large-Scale Geoengineering Funded by Bill Gates February 9, 2012 The earth is in a tail spin when it comes to climate change and finding an effective solution,… unfortunately, this is not an easy task. Emissions reductions is one way, but effectively implementing it on a global scale looks like it’s going to take quite some time in the best of circumstances. Also, getting all countries on board, well that’s another problem. Now, a handful of billionaires, including Bill Gates, are funding some of the leading scientists of the world to lobby governments and international bodies to back experiments into manipulating the climate on a global scale to help prevent climate change. The technique is called geoengineering and it comes in many forms. One example is the spraying of millions of tones of reflective particles of sulphur dioxide 30 miles above the earth to slow down global warming. The scientists are trying to persuade some of the top countries to release funding for international research, as they argue that a resolution for global greenhouse gas emissions will likely not be agreed upon within the global communities.

US geoengineers to spray sun-reflecting chemicals from balloon Experiment in New Mexico will try to establish the possibility of cooling the planet by dispersing sulphate aerosols Tuesday 17 July 2012 13.21 BST Two Harvard engineers are to spray sun-reflecting chemical particles into the atmosphere to artificially cool the planet, using a balloon flying 80,000 feet over Fort Sumner, New Mexico. The field experiment in solar geoengineering aims to ultimately create a technology to replicate the observed effects of volcanoes that spew sulphates into the stratosphere, using sulphate aerosols to bounce sunlight back to space and decrease the temperature of the Earth. www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2012/jul/17/us-geoengineers-spray-sun-balloon____________________ Cloud reflectivity modification Cloud reflectivity modification is a proposed process of altering clouds to make them more or less reflective, in order to change their effect on climate. There are two hypothesised forms: cirrus stripping and marine cloud brightening. High, cold cirrus clouds tend to allow sunlight through, yet reflect infra-red from the Earth's surface. Therefore, thinning or removing these clouds reduces their reflectivity to infra-red and results in a net cooling effect on the Earth's climate. Conversely, low cloud tends to be warm and highly reflective to sunlight, especially when the cloud is white due to the presence of smaller droplets (because of the Twomey effect. Therefore, modifying these clouds to make them more reflective cools the climate. This proposed technique is known as 'marine cloud brightening' or 'cloud whitening' on low cloud. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_reflectivity_modification

Secret meeting on climate dangers convened last summer Tipping point in global warming by 2050, geo-engineering on agenda June 25, 2013 Prime Minister Stephen Harper's national security adviser Stephen Rigby turned down a request to join a secret meeting attended by other senior government officials invited last summer to plan for worst-case global-warming scenarios. The public service department that supports the prime minister's office - the Privy Council Office - said Monday that it didn't send anyone to the meeting, convened by the former deputy minister at Environment Canada, Paul Boothe, who also invited the heads of Canada's spy agency, the Department of National Defence and the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade to attend. www.ottawacitizen.com/technology/Secret+meeting+climate+dangers+convened+last+summer/8573384/story.html

China Is Building 42,000 Military Drones: Should America Worry? May 10, 2015. The new Pentagon report highlights four Chinese drones in particular— the Xianglong, Yilong, Sky Saber, and Lijian— that were all unveiled in 2013. The Yilong, Sky Saber, and Lijian are all designed to carry carry precision-strike weapons, the report said, and the Lijian is a stealth drone... Back in May 2014, Forecast International, a private market researcher, released a forecast of the global UAV market over the next decade. The report estimated that the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), a state-owned Chinese defense company, will lead the world in UAV production. According to Forecast International, AVIC will produce about $5.76 billion worth of UAVs through 2023. That is more than half of the UAVs by value that will be produced during this time period. Most of those UAVs will go to Chinese consumers, the report said, with the largest consumer almost certainly being the Chinese military. China has also expressed an interest in exporting UAVs, including to Saudi Arabia. nationalinterest.org/blog/the-buzz/china-building-42000-military-drones-should-america-worry-12856
