CIA said to back study on ways to hack the global climate


CIA said to back study on ways to hack the global climate
2013 07 22
By John Roach | NBC News
Red Ice Creations Note:
Pumping the "skies full of sunlight reflecting particles" - If this all sounds very familiar, it should. For how many years have people been pointing out strange aerial spraying in their areas? For how long have experts sounded the alarm that governments and intelligence agencies had open geoengineering designs?

Now it seems there is apparently mainstream ’disclosure’ regarding geoengineering. But if only to reinforce the narrative that;

a) Our overlords are the only ones qualified to protect us (from our planet and ourselves),
b) They are forced to fix what we have broken,
c)This is ALL NEW and hasn’t, in fact, been taking place for decades without public oversight or permission,
d)Climate change as it exists is controllable, reversible (and undoubtedly taxable).

Interesting that recent analysis of ’climate change’ is suggesting we understand it less than we thought, can’t decide if we’re warming, cooling, or even sure of what is ultimately driving it.

It’s outrageous that the CIA is assessing risks that climate change can "destabilize governments and could add to terrorism", since western intelligence agencies’ modus operandi has been the destabilization of governments, foreign and domestic, essentially since their creation. Ultimately it would seem that geoengineering is simply another weapon of control in their already vast arsenal.

CIA said to back study on ways to hack the global climate

The U.S. intelligence community is helping to fund a study that is evaluating ways to cool the global climate, including proposals to pump the skies full of sunlight reflecting particles and build machines that vacuum greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.

A final report is tentatively scheduled for release in the spring or summer of 2014 by the National Academy of Sciences, which has convened a committee of science and policy experts to study the issue.

"It is an assessment of the science — what do we know, what do we not know, what are the risks based on what we know and don’t know right now," Lauren Rugani, a spokeswoman for the National Academy of Sciences, told NBC News.

"We are not conducting experiments, we are not producing original research, we are not developing any new technologies," she added.

In addition to the U.S. intelligence community, sponsors of the $630,000 study include the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NASA and the sciences academy. According to Grist, an environmental news website, the term "U.S. intelligence community" refers to the CIA.

Edward Price, a spokesperson for the CIA, would not confirm the agency’s involvement, but told NBC News in an email that "on a subject like climate change, the agency works with scientists to better understand the phenomenon and its implications on national security."

An intelligence community report in 2008 found that climate change, among other things, is likely to destabilize governments and could add to terrorism, posing a threat to U.S. national security, for example.

A 2011 National Research Council report urged the U.S. Navy to prepare for climate change impacts including the prospect for geopolitical conflicts in the Arctic as the sea ice there continues to dwindle, opening the region up to increased mineral exploration and shipping traffic.

To that end, military contractor Raytheon is working with the Navy to develop technologies that will improve communications and "maintain vigilant situational awareness over a somewhat austere area and very logistically challenging to be able to operate in," Tim Raglin, a program manager for the Raytheon Innovation and Prototyping team, told NBC News in a technology briefing in April.

That the government’s top science agencies and intelligence community are also willing to fund research on techniques to cool the climate suggests the seriousness with which the government takes the potential impacts of global warming.

Atmospheric Geoengineering: Weather Manipulation, Contrails and Chemtrails
By Rady Ananda | GlobalResearch


At an international symposium held in Ghent, Belgium May 28-30, 2010, scientists asserted that “manipulation of climate through modification of Cirrus clouds is neither a hoax nor a conspiracy theory.” It is “fully operational” with a solid sixty-year history. Though “hostile” environmental modification was banned by UN Convention in 1978, its “friendly” use today is being hailed as the new savior to climate change and to water and food shortages. The military-industrial complex stands poised to capitalize on controlling the world’s weather.

“In recent years there has been a decline in the support for weather modification research, and a tendency to move directly into operational projects.”
~World Meteorological Organization, 2007


The only conspiracy surrounding geoengineering is that most governments and industry refuse to publicly admit what anyone with eyes can see. Peer-reviewed research is available to anyone willing and able to maneuver the labyrinth of scientific journals. So, while there is some disclosure on the topic, full public explanation is lacking. A brief list of confirmed cloud seeding events is produced at bottom, starting in 1915.

Going under a variety of names – atmospheric geoengineering, weather modification, solar radiation management, chemical buffering, cloud seeding, weather force multiplication – toxic aerial spraying is popularly known as chemtrails. However, this is merely one technique employed to modify weather. The practice of environmental modification is vast and well funded.

Hosted by the Belfort Group, which has been working for the last seven years to raise public awareness of toxic aerial spraying, the Symposium included chemtrail awareness groups from Greece, Germany, Holland, France and the U.S. Belfort published five videos covering only May 29,[1] when filmmaker Michael Murphy (Environmental Deception and What in the world are they spraying)[2] and aerospace engineer Dr. Coen Vermeeren [3] gave the most dramatic presentations.

Dr Vermeeren, of the Delft University of Technology, presented [4] a 300-page scientific report entitled, “CASE ORANGE: Contrail Science, Its Impact on Climate and Weather Manipulation Programs Conducted by the United States and Its Allies.” [5]

Case Orange notes it was prepared for the Belfort Group by a team of scientists but presented anonymously. It was sent to embassies, news organizations and interested groups around the world “to force public debate.”

The report spends some time on HAARP, the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program, [6] which is a military endeavor focused on ionospheric, electromagnetic, and global electrostatic field manipulation, and on other exotic weapon systems that manipulate the environment. While related, they go beyond this discussion of chemtrails.

2013’s solar maximum could be weakest since the dawn of the space age

2013’s solar maximum could be weakest since the dawn of the space age





So this is unexpected. The Sun is currently at the peak of its 11-year solar cycle. It should be awash with sunspots, solar flares, coronal mass ejections and the like. And yet, observations indicate our parent star has actually been pretty quiet this year – so quiet, in fact, this years solar max could go down as the weakest in a century.

"It’s the smallest maximum we’ve seen in the Space Age," said David Hathaway of NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center yesterday via teleconference.

Earlier this year, there was speculation that scientists had miscalculated the maximum of the current cycle, though it’s become increasingly apparent that no, this is the maximum, it’s just a quiet one. And that, according to NASA, isn’t necessarily uncommon:

Conventional wisdom holds that solar activity swings back and forth like a simple pendulum. At one end of the cycle, there is a quiet time with few sunspots and flares. At the other end, Solar Max brings high sunspot numbers and solar storms. It’s a regular rhythm that repeats every 11 years.

Reality, however is more complicated. Astronomers have been counting sunspots for centuries, and they have seen that the solar cycle is not perfectly regular. For one thing, the back-and-forth swing in sunspot counts can take anywhere from 10 to 13 years to complete; also, the amplitude of the cycle varies. Some solar maxima are very weak, others very strong.

Back in March, solar physicist Dean Pesnell of the Goddard Space Flight Center hypothesized that the Sun could be experiencing a lull between two peaks in sunspot activity. A similar "twin peak" solar maximum, Pesnell said, occurred back in 1989, and again in 2001. The first peak of the current solar maximum, he said, reached its zenith in 2011, dipped in 2012, and continued through the beginning of 2013. "I am comfortable in saying that another peak will happen in 2013 and possibly last into 2014," he predicted at the time.

But 2014 is fast approaching, and still no signs of a second spike. Is this a bad thing? Hardly. Disappointing? You might think so, said Hathaway at yesterday’s conference, "but it’s quite the contrary."

SPACE.com gives an example of what Hathaway and his colleauges are taking away from this cycles tamer-than-usual antics:

North-south, or meridional, flows carry magnetic elements from sunspots to the sun’s poles, building up the polar magnetic fields until they eventually flip around the time of the solar maximum, Hathaway explained. Scientists are noticing that the strength of the polar fields when a new cycle begins influences the strength of the cycle, he added. For example, weak polar fields observed in 2008 led to the current weak cycle, while strong polar fields in 1986 spawned a strong Cycle 22.

The polar fields have been slowly reversing at this maximum, Hathaway said, suggesting that they are not going get much stronger during Cycle 24. This also sets the stage for an even smaller maximum during Cycle 25, scientists believe.

"We’re seeing fields that suggest the next sun cycle will be even weaker than this one," Hathaway said.
