Why is Neil deGrasse Tyson Promoting Geoengineering?By Derrick Broze Maher begins by discussing the drought in California and the possibility of a larger, more lethal drought happening in his lifetime. He asks, Where do we go? Whats the nearest place? You know what I want to happen? Tyson responds, I think its not about finding another planet. I think its about being masters of geo-engineering. He continues, Think about it: We run away from volcanoes, we know how to tap a keg lets tap the volcano, take the pressure out so it doesnt explode, use the thermal energy to drive the power needs of a city. We run away from hurricanes, were not there yet. Imagine if we controlled the energy of the earth oh, my gosh. Then we can control where it rains (and) how much it rains. Were just these scurrying, scared things. Unfortunately, deGrasse Tyson seems painfully uneducated about the dangers associated with the science of geoengineering. So what exactly is geoengineering? According to a 2013 congressional report: The term geoengineering describes this array of technologies that aim, through large-scale and deliberate modifications of the Earths energy balance, to reduce temperatures and counteract anthropogenic climate change. Most of these technologies are at the conceptual and research stages, and their effectiveness at reducing global temperatures has yet to be proven. Moreover, very few studies have been published that document the cost, environmental effects, socio-political impacts, and legal implications of geoengineering. If geoengineering technologies were to be deployed, they are expected to have the potential to cause significant transboundary effects. In general, geoengineering technologies are categorized as either a carbon dioxide removal (CDR) method or a solar radiation management (SRM) method. CDR methods address the warming effects of greenhouse gases by removing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. CDR methods include ocean fertilization, and carbon capture and sequestration. SRM methods address climate change by increasing the reflectivity of the Earths atmosphere or surface. Aerosol injection and space-based reflectors are examples of SRM methods. SRM methods do not remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere, but can be deployed faster with relatively immediate global cooling results compared to CDR methods. Ironically, the promotion of geoengineering might actually cause more harm than good, including an increase in droughts. A recent study from MITs Center for Global Change Science and the Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences, published in Natures Scientific Reports, has found that ocean fertilization geoengineering would alter global rainfall patterns and affect water resources. Ocean fertilization is a type of geoengineering that seeks to mimic the ability of phytoplankton, the microalgae at the base of most oceanic food webs, to photosynthesize sunlight. As the phytoplankton absorb carbon dioxide, they also release dimethyl sulfide (DMS) into the atmosphere, which can form sulfate aerosols and reflect sunlight and cool the climate. Geoengineers hope to reproduce this natural process and thus reflect sunlight and cool the Earth. According to Phys.org, the researchers employed one of the global climate models used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which simulates the evolution of and interactions among the ocean, atmosphere, and land masses. These simulations found that increased DMS emissions would actually lead to an increase of 1.2 degrees Celsius by 2100 and substantial reduction in precipitation for some regions. Chien Wang, a co-author of the study and a senior research scientist at MITs Center for Global Change Science and the Department of Earth, noted the study was the first in-depth analysis of ocean fertilization that has highlighted the potential danger of impacting rainfall adversely. Benjamin Grandey, a senior postdoc in Wangs group who configured the model simulations and analyzed the data, said that although Generally, our results suggest that the cooling effect associated with enhanced DMS emissions would offset warming across the globe, especially in the Arctic, it would also lead to dangerous changes in global weather. Precipitation would also decline worldwide, and some parts of the world would be worse off. Europe, the Horn of Africa, and Pakistan may receive less rainfall than they have historically. The lower rainfall could reduce water resources considerably and threaten the environment and livelihoods of the animals and people in the affected regions. The MIT team is not the first to ring the alarm bells when it comes to geoengineering and other forms of weather modification. Although a number of authorities have warned about the dangers of geoengineering techniques, the risks are seen as secondary to the perceived risks of climate change. The interesting thing to note is that although proponents of geoengineering hail it as the solution to climate change and sustaining life, studies show that geoengineering could actually have the reverse effect of heating the Earth. In February 2015, an international committee of scientists released a report stating that geoengineering techniques are not a viable alternative to reducing greenhouse gas emissions to combat the effects of climate change. The committee report called for further research and understanding of various geoengineering techniques, including carbon dioxide removal schemes and solar-radiation management before implementation. The scientists found that Solar Radiation Management, or albedo-modification techniques, are likely to present serious known and possible unknown environmental, social, and political risks, including the possibility of being deployed unilaterally. The report was sponsored by the National Academy of Sciences, the U.S. intelligence community, NASA, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the U.S. Department of Energy. Another danger of manipulating the weather is the loss of blue skies. According to a report by the New Scientist, Ben Kravitz of the Carnegie Institution for Science has shown that releasing sulphate aerosols high in the atmosphere would scatter sunlight into the atmosphere. He says this could decrease the amount of sunlight that hits the ground by 20% and make the sky appear more hazy. According to a 2013 study published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, if geoengineering programs were started and then suddenly halted, the planet could see an immediate rise in temperatures, particularly over land. The study, titled The Impact of Abrupt Suspension of Solar Radiation Management, seems to indicate that once geoengineering begins, the programs cannot be suspended without causing the very problem the engineering was intended to solve. It is utterly surprising and disturbing to see an educated person promoting the use of this disastrous science, which is increasingly being found to create more trouble than solutions. Without a doubt, the Earth is facing perilous times. As Anti-Media recently reported, a recent study from scientists with Stanford University, Princeton University, the University of California, Berkeley, and others warns that the Earth is experiencing a sixth mass extinction era. They are calling for fast action to save endangered species and habitats. The scientists claim that species are disappearing up to about 100 times faster than the normal rate between mass extinctions, known as the background rate. The study was published in the journal Science Advances. If it is allowed to continue, life would take many millions of years to recover, and our species itself would likely disappear early on, said lead author Gerardo Ceballos of the Universidad Autnoma de Mxico. What are the solutions to the many ecological and environmental problems facing humanity? The studies indicate that attempting to play God with the weather will have disastrous effects on the ability of the human population to live and prosper. If you fear the results of mad scientists controlling the weather or pursuing dangerous solutions like geoengineering, please share this article and continue to spread knowledge. It is time for the awakened people of this Earth to stand together against those who seek to destroy the planet and seek solutions that work with nature rather than seeking to dominate and exploit it.

Niel De Gassbag Mucho Ka Ka Hawking are NWO pawns cardboard cutouts to promote the NWO Agenda of the climate change BIG LIE of coercively imposed pseudo Settled Sciencethat is so full of hot air that UN NGO oligarch minions are trying to mandate fines imprisonment for anyone that doesnt believe their promulgated fairy talefascism anyonewould you like fries with that?..IMHO Geo engineering has little to do with cooling the earth or benefiting inhabitants. Its more to do with psychopathic control of people and the extraction of oil, gold and minerals under the ice caps. Geoengineering chemtrails is also a hazardous waste disposal scheme for coal ash. Scientific analysis has confirmed the contents. Amen! And to top it off, the rolled out senior flu shot from a couple of years ago, with it double load of aluminum, mercury, etc. has decimated the senior population I work with. Yes the Great Culling has begun. Youll have to bribe a doc to say he gave u the shot and chart it. A simple survival tactic. Im so pissed Ive decided to collect my VA rated disability cash benefits. For years Ive resisted with an 40% rating much to the VAs dismay. But bleeding the beast might help. Yea. I thought of that. But the Drs. Might think its a sting. Might have more luck with a NP at the quickie clinic at CVS. Good pt. on aerosol spraying of Nano particles which is also being applied into over 800 food products that enter our blood brain barriers at the sub-atomic levels without any regulatory oversite or public disclosures. Injuries to lab rats have occurred in the lungs, colon, kidneys and spleen. More Dangerous than GMOs! ~ BioEngineered NanoFoods ~ but Shhh Its a Secret! And at this same exact time, Gag orders have been issued to all national reporting agency employees Government Implements Illegal Gag Order On National Weather Service And NOAA Employees http://www.geoengineeringwatch.org/government-implements-illegal-gag-order-on-national-weather-service-and-noaa/ This also means your solar systems efficiency is reduced by hazing. That legally could constitute a cause of lawsuit action. Its simple God put fossil fuels here for a reason to use when its gone he returns. Faith is required to believe this but no more so than the untried n untested climate change pseudo science. I have felt for some time that he is promoting someones agenda is not what he seems to be. In reference to his comments on geo-eng and rainfall, for being so bright, he is terribly dense. To smart for common sense, I guess. Where Im going with this; there is a finite amount of precipitation to be experienced both on Earth as whole, and regionally, due to jet streams, etc. , but there is a simple axiom to be realized, and that is if one chooses (as he naively asserts) to bring rain to an area, then there is ANOTHER area that wont receive that rain intended for it if unmolested. Simply put, if you have X number of cookies in class and decide to give extra cookies to a student, friend, etc. then one of those that were to receive a cookie WONT. In reference to CTs, my belief is that they are spraying the skies for multiple reasons, with geo-eng but one of them. Another is the satanic desire to kill, which they decidedly do. Study disease rates since they started in 90 or 91 (approxdont get your panties in a bunch). The PRIMARY reason for chem trails, IMHO, is to prevent human beings (spiritual entities) from receiving the essential lightS the sun provides us, thus preventing us as spiritual beings from growing in the light, which is crucial to spiritual growth. FACT- The pacific northwest has the highest suicide rate in the USA. It is also, day in day out, the most cloud covered area in the USA. You say potato, I poh-tah-toe. Trends, like BO on an unwashed body, can stay hidden for only so long. They ALWAYS manifest and tell the real truth.
