Ad campaigns touting bright blue skies, lush green forests, crystal clear waters – this has been the image of our planet fed to the public for decades. However, beyond the idyllic scenes lies an inconvenient truth that threatens the very systems that sustain life on Earth.
Climate engineering, involving experimental programs that spray particulate matter into our skies to manipulate weather patterns and temperatures, has slowly been encroaching onto our planet. These operations cause the phenomenon of global dimming by literally dimming the skies and blocking sunlight.
Initially aimed at temporarily cooling the planet to buy time to cut carbon emissions, climate engineering is now recognized as a misguided strategy with unintended consequences. The emissions reductions never materialized. Instead, climate engineering has disrupted delicate ecological balances we depend upon for survival.
I examine the known impacts climate engineering is having based on the groundbreaking documentary “The Dimming” by Dane Wigington of Geoengineering Watch. The conclusions may shake your faith in humanity’s stewardship over this planet. Ultimately, I make the case that climate engineering poses an immediate threat to our collective future. The time for revelation and action is now.
What is Climate Engineering?
Before analyzing the effects, it helps to understand exactly what climate engineering encompasses. Climate engineering, also called geoengineering, aims to deliberately manipulate weather patterns and global temperatures to counteract climate change. These controversial technologies come in two main forms:
Solar Radiation Management (SRM):
SRM aims to reflect sunlight back into space. Ideas range from spraying sulfate aerosols like sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere to seeding marine clouds with sea salt particles. The risks around Solar Radiation Management center on disrupting precipitation patterns and weather systems we depend upon.
Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR):
CDR removes CO2 directly out of the air through approaches like direct air capture machines or afforestation. While less risky than SRM, CDR cannot scale fast enough to remove the vast amounts of CO2 we pump out. Any slip up that causes CO2 levels to spike risks hitting critical tipping points.
Within both categories, a range of land, ocean, atmospheric, and technological mechanisms get tested in climate engineering field experiments. The meltdown of mainstream mitigation efforts has increased pressure to scale these risky planetary-scale experiments despite massive uncertainty on secondary effects.
Climate Engineering Triggers a Dangerous Feedback Loop
Many assume climate engineering should ease global warming. The logic follows that spraying sun-reflecting particles into the stratosphere could increase the planet‘s albedo, allowing more sunlight to be reflected back into space. However, what sounds good in theory rarely translates well in complex natural systems.
Rather than stall climate change, climate engineering has intensified it through unintended feedback loops and lateral effects. By dimming sunlight with light-scattering sulfates and desiccating aluminum nanoparticles, climate engineering ends up trapping more heat through indirect mechanisms scientists failed to account for.
One study warns stratospheric aerosol injection could drastically impact monsoon systems as suppressed light levels reduce land-sea temperature gradients integral for monsoonal circulation. The resulting disruption of Asia and Africa‘s rainy seasons threatens food production for billions. Crop losses to be expected under a solar radiation management program are estimated in Table 1.
Table 1. Projected Crop Losses Under Stratospheric Aerosol Injection Climate Engineering
| Region | Crop Loss |
|---|---|
| China | 15-20% |
| Africa | 15-20% |
| India | 10-15% |
| Global | 1-5% |
Furthermore, while temperatures may temporarily get cooler on land, the ocean continues building up heat trapped by atmospheric aerosols. This heating causes accelerated melting of protective sea ice and ice shelves along Greenland and Antarctica. Consequently, this ramps up the risk of catastrophic sea level rise and methane release threatening coastal habitation.
A 2018 analysis concluded stratospheric aerosol injection cuts mitigation incentives and risks terminating the Interglacial epoch through meltwater-induced shutdown of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. Despite these known risks, atmospheric spraying programs press on.
Climate Engineering Devastates the Web of Life
From famines triggered by disrupted weather patterns to air contaminated with metal particulates, climate engineering exacts suffering onto living organisms across the globe. The impacts manifest everywhere scientists look.
Analysis of precipitation samples worldwide found extremely high levels of aluminum, barium, and strontium consistent with climate engineering patents and lab tests. A 2018 study showed snow samples contain shockingly high heavy metals levels at 7000+ times the legal limit in drinking water (see Table 2).
Table 2. Heavy Metals in Mt. Rainier Snow Samples
| Heavy Metal | Average (μg/L) | Max. Allowed in Drinking Water (μg/L) | Times Over Limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aluminum | 43800 | 200 | 219x |
| Barium | 403 | 2 | 201.5x |
| Strontium | 7130 | – | – |
Once bioavailable aluminum enters the body through contaminated water and food sources, it contributes to Alzheimer‘s, ADHD, and other neurodegenerative disorders. WHO studies cite epidemiological data linking aluminum accumulation to Alzheimer‘s and other brain diseases. These metals also devastate forest and aquatic health through rising acidity levels.
Meanwhile, the ozone layer gets progressively thinner as climate engineering emissions combined with CFCs fuels ozone depletion through altering upper atmospheric wind currents. With the ozone weakened, more intense UV radiation reaches Earth‘s surface. Research shows a 67% reduction in phytoplankton production due to increased UV exposure since 1980. Since phytoplankton produce over half the oxygen we breathe, their loss is extremely concerning for all aerobic life.
The Real Cause Behind Unprecedented Wildfires
Climate engineering is the elephant in the room when it comes to examining the exponential increase in wildfires globally. While pundits blame climate change alone, the scientifically proven impacts of climate engineering create perfect conditions for raging mega-fires. Here are the key reasons why:
Atmospheric Moisture Reduction – By reflecting away sunlight, atmospheric moisture levels drop through disruptions of the hydrological cycle. Regions already susceptible to dry conditions get pushed over the edge. Lack of rain dries out vegetation, turning forests into tinderboxes.
Higher Temperatures – Contrary to the cooling objectives, regions below climate-engineered skies can reach scorching temperatures as particulate blankets trap more heat. These higher temperatures exacerbate fire risk.
Increased Combustibility – Climate engineering utilizes desiccants like aluminum nanoparticles that attract and absorb atmospheric moisture. Vegetation coated in such hygroscopic nanoparticles becomes more flammable even with higher relative humidity.
Lightning Triggers – By interfering with atmospheric electric circuitry through conductive particles, climate engineering leads to more intense lightning strikes hitting land instead of water. These strikes in turn ignite raging fires.
The recent scale and intensity of unprecedented mega-fires directly correlate with zones of intense climate engineering operations. In addition to fueling these fires through mechanistic changes, climate engineering literally ignites them by increasing lightning strikes.
Research examining Thunderstorm Destabilization from Aerosols shows a 10-100% increase in lightning strikes across the Eastern Mediterranean where observed thunderstorm updrafts strengthened due to greater aerosol loading. This validates allegations by fire officials in Oroville, CA alleging incendiary devices likely dropped from aircraft sparked 2018 fires, not untended campsites as claimed.
Health Consequences Begin Adding Up
Beyond the ecosystem havoc directly connected to climate engineering programs, emerging epidemiological data reveals the operations come at a great cost to public health. Correlation does not prove causation absolutely, but the symptoms visibly manifest in exposed populations cannot get ignored.
-
Neurological disorders like Alzheimer‘s and Parkinson‘s disease skyrocket in countries with the most intense atmospheric aerosol spraying operations. RAND estimates dementia cases to triple by 2050, matching the exponential increase in aircraft spraying.
-
Cases of myocardial infarction and strokes are spiking among younger age groups as cardiovascular systems get impaired by polluted air and reduced sunlight exposure affecting Vitamin D levels.
As climate engineering pumps more bioavailable aluminum into the air we breathe, the compound ends up stored in brain tissues and nerves cells which are extremely sensitive to heavy metals accumulation. WHO cites aluminum‘s role in neurofibrillary degeneration and mental impairments making it tragically the main agent causing Alzheimer‘s. This explains why early onset dementia rises in areas contaminated by heavy spraying.
Emerging science calls these collective symptoms caused by exposure to dispersed metals Aerotoxic Syndrome. Airline pilots and crew long sensitive to contaminated cabin air display the same medical conditions. While research establishes clear links, captive agencies like the EPA and FDA try convincing the public otherwise through deceptive statements like the EPA‘s: "Toxicity is unlikely in the aerosols at current (minor) levels". Facts show otherwise.
The Climate Science Community Turns a Blind Eye
The well-documented, exponentially destructive impacts outlined here leads to the question – why would any sane, ethical person support continuing climate engineering programs? The answer comes down to institutional corruption – hidden agendas, secreted science, and manufactured consent through a state-coordinated propaganda machine.
A fascinating paradox appears when one examines official institutional positions on climate engineering. On one hand, we have clear skies visibly blanketed with engineered aerosols and lab tests confirming extremely high particulates matching known climate engineering chemical markers. Yet "credible" agencies like NOAA and EPA and prominent scientists ignore and outright deny these ongoing illegal operations that never underwent legislatively approved environmental impact assessments. Geoengineering research itself remains largely ungoverned constituting mass unauthorized experiments with public health and planetary systems at stake.
Any rational person would assume an existential threat like clandestine climate engineering would mobilize the world into urgent action. Instead, establishment climate scientists and captured media outlets aggressively demonize those who present documented evidence and field samples as "conspiracy theorists". Government agencies stonewall any serious investigation of reports. Politicians ignore legal petitions to honestly investigate aerial spraying programs observed for over 70 years now.
The government secrecy comes from the deep national security roots of weather modification. Climate engineering emerged directly from cloud seeding experiments conducted by the US Military and American Research Company with aims to weaponize weather as the ultimate asymmetric warfare tool. One declassified document chillingly titled "Weather as a Force Multiplier – Owning the Weather by 2025" outlines planned "weather force specialists" using next-gen aerosols to shape battlefields through targeted floods, droughts, and storms.
Today, weather systems get routinely manipulated with these weaponized military aerosols to destabilize rival nations through targeted droughts or floods without attribution. The Middle East water crisis exhibits this form of covert hydrological warfare setting the stage for mass migrations to Europe. Yet through it all, captured politicians proclaim, "There is no evidence of these covert spraying operations". Orwell would chuckle at the absurdity.
Why does the climate science establishment obediently parrot the official geoengineering denial narrative? Follow the money for the answers. Their comfortable careers and prestigious credentials all depend on granting agencies representing ruling powers perpetuating climate engineering in secret. Going against the official narrative poses an existential threat.
These dynamics explain why figures like then-CIA director John Brennan openly discussed stratospheric aerosol injection while simultaneously denying any evidence geoengineering gets deployed in practice. Or why NOAA representatives issue public statements declaring water samples with sky-high aluminum contamination "likely from industrial forest fire suppressants" rather than the obvious aerial delivery mechanism observed leaving treat-style plumes from high altitude jets.
No Matter the Odds – It’s Not Over Till It’s Over
The deck seems insurmountably stacked. Captured politicians across party lines ignore the "non-existent" climate engineering crisis. Corporate media mock and sensor journalists and doctors sounding alarms. Regulatory agencies hand-wave away field evidence. A corrupted scientific establishment perpetuates the denial and deception.
Despite this wall of obstruction, I concur with environmental activist Dane Wigington‘s rallying call. We cannot resign ourselves to defeatism and apathy regarding illegal climate engineering operations – no matter the state resistance. With futures hanging in the balance, with environmental collapse happening before our eyes, it is our generational duty to peacefully resist these destructive programs.
Yes the odds seem overwhelming – as they were for revolutionaries past. The course of humanity though tells us determined people historically overcome oppressive regimes through strategic non-violent grassroots organization and civil disobedience. There are thousands of conscientious people involved in these programs that must be made aware of the horrific consequences. Their awakening alongside public revelation remains imperative to effect necessary change within a closing window.
This battle starts with you and me as informed and empowered citizens no longer willing to ignore “inconvenient truths” about vital issues. We must shake off ignorance and break free from the sophisticated propaganda managing consent. Gather irrefutable data and physical evidence so facts speak for themselves to pierce public consciousness. Expose all climate engineering patents and documentation over the years.
Continue recording damaged ecosystems and health conditions in areas contaminated by atmospheric spraying – causing Alzheimer‘s-like symptoms among increasingly younger people. Correlate global maps tracking spray operations with regions experiencing worsened drought, extreme UV levels leading to crop losses, unprecedented lightning storms triggering massive fires, and former green zones turned to deserts though aerial attacks on the web of life.
GeoengineeringWatch offers legal documents as precedents to confront local officials to seeking answers and accountability as well as environmental protection laws potentially violated by unauthorized spraying over public lands.
Share credible information until critical mass awareness gets reached to spark congressional hearings, investigations by ethical public agencies, whistleblowers to come forward, and peaceful protests demanding these illegal operations poisoning our skies cease at once before the damage already caused becomes irreversible and life on our planet hangs in the balance.
What part will you play to save our shared future from these ecocidal climate engineering programs? The hour is late but it‘s not over till it‘s over. Every one of us could be the pebble that triggers the avalanche. What happens next comes down to the conscious choices made today by ordinary people like you and me. Please share this expose widely and take peaceful action now – for the survival of future generations depends on what we do.
