Absent international agreements, it could also spark conflict. -It sounds like something out of science fiction: A country suffering from heat, flooding or crop failures decides on its own to send out a fleet of aircraft to spray a fine, sun-blocking mist into the earth\u2019s atmosphere, reducing temperatures and providing relief to parched populations. Other countries view it as a threat to their own citizens and ready a military response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But members of the U.S. intelligence community and other national security officials were worried enough last year to plot how to avert a war triggered by this kind of climate engineering. In a role-playing exercise, they practiced managing the tensions that would be unleashed, according to people familiar with the exercise, a sign that they see it as a credible threat in need of a strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The practice, known as solar geoengineering, is theoretically possible. And as the world\u2019s most vulnerable populations suffer more sharply from rising temperatures, global decision-makers will likely come under heavy pressure to deploy the technology, scientists and policymakers say. Compared to other methods to combat the effects of climate change, it\u2019s likely to be cheaper and faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because the technique could weaken the sun\u2019s power across the globe \u2014 not just above whichever country decided to deploy it \u2014 security officials are concerned about the potential to spark conflict, since a single capital could make decisions that shape the entire world\u2019s fate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">#<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatedepot.com\/2022\/08\/09\/biden-the-weather-may-be-beyond-our-control-for-now-biden-joins-bill-gates-china-in-seeking-to-control-the-weather\/\">Biden: \u2018The weather may be beyond our control \u2014 for now\u2019 \u2013 Biden joins Bill Gates &amp; China in seeking to control the weather<\/a>&nbsp;\u2013 August 9, 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatedepot.com\/2020\/12\/29\/bill-gates-savior-complex-funds-sun-dimming-plan-to-save-the-human-race\/\">Bill Gates\u2019 Savior Complex: Funds Sun-Dimming Plan To Save the Human Race<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatedepot.com\/2021\/04\/08\/watch-morano-on-fox-and-friends-rips-efforts-to-block-the-sun-with-geoengineering-to-stop-global-warming\/\">Watch: Morano on Fox and Friends rips efforts to block the sun with geoengineering to stop \u2018global warming\u2019<\/a>&nbsp;\u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Marc Morano:<\/strong>&nbsp;This is&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/arielcohen\/2021\/01\/11\/bill-gates-backed-climate-solution-gains-traction-but-concerns-linger\/?sh=4cfa86e793b6\">Bill Gates funding this as well through Harvard University<\/a>. This is retro 1970s. In the 1970s, they believed fossil fuels were creating aerosols blocking the sun, creating man-made global cooling. So they came up with the same kind of geo-engineering solutions back then. They wanted to put black soot on the Arctic to melt it. There was one proposal was to use nuclear energy to loosen the Arctic ice caps because they thought they were growing too much. John Holdren (Science Czar) in the Obama Administration supported geo-engineering, if you will, of the climate. This is radical, risky, unproven, with unknown effects but they are doing it as a sort of lever over us. The Biden Administration is saying \u2018We know this is dangerous, we don\u2019t know the effects, but darn it, people aren\u2019t buying electric cars fast enough, or they aren\u2019t embracing the Green New Deal policies, so we have to risk our entire planet with this research.\u2019 It is basically weather modification.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatedepot.com\/2022\/08\/09\/watch-world-economic-forum-touts-chinas-efforts-to-control-the-weather-with-cloud-seeding-to-create-55-billion-tons-of-artificial-rain-weather-modification-department\/\">China has been doing it for years.<\/a>&nbsp;Another form of what the government is been doing.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatedepot.com\/2023\/07\/01\/good-morning-america-meteorologist-ginger-zee-on-the-view-climate-is-now-so-desperate-that-cloud-seeding-is-ramping-up-it-is-huge-only-getting-bigger-they-send-silver-iodide-into-the-c\/\">ABC News meteorologists (Ginger Zee) talked about the cloud seeding<\/a>&nbsp;to increase rain, snow or storms, They will \u2014 the government will control the weather, and you will be Happy.

Here\u2019s where it\u2019s always going to get controversial, perhaps. Cloud seeding is something that I studied in school for meteorology \u2014 weather modification. Back when I went to school, it was like pooh-poohed a little bit, too expensive; it\u2019s not efficient enough. Well, guess what? When you get desperate, and then technology gets better. Twenty years later, here we are, cloud seeding is ramping up so big. You see me there, showing that flare on the plane. They send silver iodide into the clouds, and it then it makes it snow more. So they can\u2019t make a cloud, right? But they\u2019re taking storms already there and then giving it a little boost. That part is not new. What\u2019s new is they have hundreds of these ground cloud seeders. so they are actually puffing the silver iodide with a flare into the air. That thing sits all over the Rocky Mountains, all over the American West. Ten states are doing this. My friend Russ (Schumacher) is the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/schumacher.atmos.colostate.edu\/people\/people.php#:~:text=Director%2C%20Colorado%20Climate%20Center%20and%20Colorado%20State%20Climatologist&amp;text=Russ%20joined%20the%20faculty%20at,2001%2C%20and%20earned%20his%20M.S.\">State Climatologist of Colorado<\/a>, and he said, \u2018You got to see with cloud seeding.

It\u2019s used today to boost precipitation in at least eight states across the western U.S. and dozens of countries around the world. \u2026 Open flames burst from the throats of metal chimneys, mounted on squat towers nestled among the peaks. With a low hiss, puffs of particles belch from their mouths into the air, where the wind catches them and whisks them away. These aren\u2019t ordinary particles. They\u2019re tiny bits of crushed-up silver iodide, a crystal-like photosensitive substance once used in photography. But it\u2019s not used to take pictures out in the mountains. It\u2019s meant to make snow. \u2026 The crystalline silver iodide particles have a structure similar to ice\u2014and inside a cloud, like attracts like. Water droplets begin to cluster around the particles, freezing solid as they gather together. These frozen clusters eventually grow too heavy to stay in the air.
