An evil atmosphere is forming around geoengineering

* 21 July 2010 by Clive Hamilton

IN 1892 Edvard Munch witnessed a blood-red sunset over Oslo, Norway. Shaken by it, he wrote in his diary that he felt "a great, unending scream piercing through nature". The incident inspired him to create his most famous painting, The Scream.

The striking sunset was probably caused by the eruption of Krakatoa, which sent a massive plume of ash and gas into the upper atmosphere, turning sunsets red around the globe and cooling the Earth by more than a degree.

Now a powerful group of scientists, venture capitalists and conservative think tanks is coalescing around the idea of reproducing this cooling effect by injecting sulphur dioxide into the stratosphere to counter climate change. Despite the enormity of what is being proposed - nothing less than seizing control of the climate - the public has been almost entirely excluded from the planning. continued

Giant pipe and balloon to pump water into the sky in climate experiment

Field test by British academics marks first step towards recreating an artificial volcano that would inject particles into the stratosphere and cool the planet
John Vidal, environment editor

It sounds barmy, audacious or sci-fi: a tethered balloon the size of Wembley stadium suspended 20km above Earth, linked to the ground by a giant garden hose pumping hundreds of tonnes of minute chemical particles a day into the thin stratospheric air to reflect sunlight and cool the planet.

But a team of British academics will next month formally announce the first step towards creating an artificial volcano by going ahead with the world's first major "geo-engineering" field-test in the next few months. The ultimate aim is to mimic the cooling effect that volcanoes have when they inject particles into the stratosphere that bounce some of the Sun's energy back into space, so preventing it from warming the Earth and mitigating the effects of man-made climate change.

Before the full-sized system can be deployed, the research team will test a scaled-down version of the balloon-and-hose design. Backed by a £1.6m government grant and the Royal Society, the team will send a balloon to a height of 1km over an undisclosed location. It will pump nothing more than water into the air, but it will allow climate scientists and engineers to gauge the engineering feasibility of the plan. Ultimately, they aim to test the impact of sulphates and other aerosol particles if they are sprayed directly into the stratosphere.

If the technical problems posed by controlling a massive balloon at more than twice the cruising height of a commercial airliner are resolved, then the team from Cambridge, Oxford, Reading and Bristol universities expect to move to full-scale solar radiation tests...................http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2 ... experiment

Public supports geoengineering research, survey finds

First international survey on the perception of geoengineering finds 72% of respondents approve of research

The British, American and Canadian public is largely in favour of research into engineering the planet's climate to combat global warming, according to a study published on Monday. But critics said the paper was "not exactly disinterested science" because one of the authors is the founder and president of a geoengineering company.

The first international survey on the perception of geoengineering, published in the Environmental Research Letters of the Institute, comes at a critical stage as a major UK test project was recently postponed.

Scientists from Cambridge, Oxford, Reading and Bristol universities had planned to send a balloon with a hose attached 1km into the sky above Norfolk within months, to test the future feasibility of pumping hundreds of tonnes of minute chemical particles a day into the thin stratospheric air to reflect sunlight and cool the planet. But late in September, they delayed the test, citing the need to "allow time for more engagement with stakeholders.".................http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2 ... sfeed=true

I just joined this forum and I haven`t read all the posts in this thread, but I like what I see. Now I caan hardly wait to get back and read the rest.

Hi Neo. There are experiments that bother me on this scale too. Some of which involves the oceans.
I am a newbie too and like the feel of this forum and its issues.

I'm more than a little bothered about what some of these looney toons are suggesting. You don't start screwing around with the whole darn planet and get a second chance to say oops, never mind. These people need to have their wings clipped before they take flight.

Oh, and glad to have you on board as a newbie.

Back in the day, some of these same scientists were predicating the imminent arrival of the next ice age and
the idiots came up with a method of combating that scenario. The idea was to spread carbon over all the
ice and snow covered areas of the northern hemisphere. The carbon would attract the sun rays and melt or keep
the ice fields from expanding. Unbelievable how the sheeple fall for this idiotic BS.

The mgh(mindless grazing herd) are considered by criminals, government, and the system as just critters to be milked and preyed upon. Look at the police hwo have become mere tax collectors, the government over taxation, scams like legalized financial tyranny that forces mgh to pay outrageous rates of insurance, the ever expanding panorama of laws that enslave, etc

Globaloney is but another scam to steal money from the herd, and useful idiots enable their own theft by supporting this scam. Fools.

New-found particle could help cool Earth

A long-hypothesized particle which could cool the planet by cleaning up the atmosphere has finally been discovered....................http://www.tgdaily.com/sustainability-f ... cool-earth

[richardson]

scientists conducting experiments to project hundreds of tonnes of minute particles into the sky to cool the earth? What could possibly go wrong? But just in case something could, instead we could send them to an isolated island formed from a dormant volcano which they could try to revive. And maybe find some old DNA in mosquitoes trapped in amber.

Motl: Getting ready for 1100° C greenhouse runaway Earth
Posted on January 15, 2012 by Steve Milloy | 2 Comments

“In such a temperature, you won’t need a sweater.”

Luboš Motl reports at the Reference Frame:

The current global average mean temperature is about 15 °C. However, Colin Goldblatt and Andrew J. Watson have submitted a preprint called “The Runaway Greenhouse: implications for future climate change, geoengineering and planetary atmospheres” to the Royal Society which discusses a balmier temperature that we may expect soon: 1,100 °C. In such a temperature, you won’t need a sweater.

Body Blow To German Global Warming Movement! Major Media Outlets Unload On “CO2 Lies!”
“THE CO2 LIES … pure fear-mongering … should we blindly trust the experts?”
By P Gosselin on 6. Februar 2012

That’s what Germany’s leading daily Bild (see photo) wrote in its print and online editions today, on the very day that renowned publisher Hoffmann & Campe officially released a skeptic book – one written by a prominent socialist and environmental figure.



Germany has now plunged into raucus discord on the heated topic of climate change

What has set it all off? One of the fathers of Germany’s modern green movement, Professor Dr. Fritz Vahrenholt, a social democrat and green activist, decided to author a climate science skeptical book together with geologist/paleontologist Dr. Sebastian Lüning. Vahrenholt’s skepticism started when he was asked to review an IPCC report on renewable energy. He found hundreds of errors. When he pointed them out, IPCC officials simply brushed them aside. Stunned, he asked himself, “Is this the way they approached the climate assessment reports?”
