GeoEngineering: A Climate Engineering Introduction To Media And The Uninformed

Bringing the critical issue of global climate engineering to light and to a halt is the great imperative of our time. In order to have any reasonable chance of succeeding in this all important battle, all of us are needed to join the fight. Each of us can gain ground every single day in this effort by spreading and sharing credible introductory information with individuals, organizations, and media, that would care if they only knew of the issue and had a dose of solid data to go on. The introduction article below was drafted for the use of the public relations firm which is helping us with media exposure for the Geoengineering Watch Legal Team. This letter can be used by anyone to help with the effort to start "spot fires" of awareness everywhere possible. The more such an introduction to geoengineering is forwarded groups, organizations, media, and individuals (that, again, would care if they knew of the issue), the sooner we will reach a critical mass of awareness. If we all combine our efforts in this battle, we can yet make a profound difference even at this late hour.
As President Obama publicly rallies world leaders to move forward with a global response to climate change, a less discussed, but ongoing effort has long since been underway to attempt the management of solar radiation through the spraying of light scattering aerosols into the atmosphere and the direct manipulation of weather patterns — a process otherwise known as “geoengineering.”
Geoengineering is the science term applied to processes of climate intervention for the primary stated purpose of temporarily slowing a runaway greenhouse scenario on Planet Earth. Though the official narrative regarding programs of "solar radiation management" is that they are just "proposals", all available evidence overwhelmingly confirms SRM programs have been fully deployed for nearly seven decades. These programs are further fueling a phenomenon known as "global dimming".
Solar radiation management
From WikipediaMore background on SRM from Wikipedia
Solar radiation management[1] (SRM) projects (proposed and theoretical) are a type of climate engineering which seek to reflect sunlight and thus reduce global warming.[2] Proposed examples include the creation of stratospheric sulfate aerosols. Their principal advantages as an approach to climate engineering is the speed with which they can be deployed and become fully active, their potential low financial cost, and the reversibility of their direct climatic effects. Solar radiation management projects could, for example, be used as a temporary response while levels of greenhouse gases can be brought under control by greenhouse gas remediation techniques. They would not reduce greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere, and thus do not address problems such as ocean acidification caused by excess carbon dioxide (CO2). By comparison, other climate engineering techniques based on greenhouse gas remediation, such as ocean iron fertilization, need to sequester the anthropogenic carbon excess before any reversal of global warming would occur.
Climate engineering projects have been proposed in order to reduce global warming. The effect of rising greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere on global climate is a warming effect on the planet. By modifying the albedo of the Earth's surface, or by preventing sunlight reaching the Earth by using a solar shade, this warming effect can be canceled out — although the cancelation is imperfect, with regional discrepancies remaining.[3]Headlines like the one below elude to the magnitude of what is unfolding, but the reality of the ongoing climate engineering programs are still not acknowledged.
Climate Change Panel Warns Geoengineering May Be Humanities Last Hope
“Society has reached a point where the severity of the potential risks from climate change appears to outweigh the potential risks from the moral hazard of research.”More and more science studies are recognizing SRM consequences that have in fact long since been occurring.
"The risks of experimentation on such technology could actually worsen the problem and lead to massive experimentation that may aggravate climate change even more and cause irreparable damage to the environment".
Though there are numerous "proposed" forms of climate engineering
methods, the primary method (that has long since been deployed) is "stratospheric aerosol geoengineering" . This is shown in the image above, the jet aircraft spraying reflective aerosols into the atmosphere.
The downturn and leveling off of global temperatures from 1945 to
the mid 1970s perplexed the climate science community which were unaware
of the ongoing covert geoengineering.
