		<description>I agree with you, the experiments are happening all over the world and the experimenters do not understand the consequences that those experiments can bring.
I consider the radioactive elements that are produced in the construction of nuclear bombs and also used in nuclear power plants as very dangerous chemicals.
It is only a suspicion on my part, but I think that the Aral sea has almost disappeared, not because of anthrax experiments on the island there or the diversion of water from the rivers to cotton fields, but because the lake was (probably) a dumping ground for radioactive waste.

P.S. Glad to “hear” that you are OK.  Drop by once in a while.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m aware of some of the NASA research (Never A Straight Answer). Should we playing god with the atmosphere? My problem is the chemicals they are dumping on the land and sea, and the Tesla technology, because there is NO oversight. We are just a big LABORATORY to some weather scientists trying to keep the grant money flowing. And the &quot;Defense Dept.&quot; has very deep and endless pockets.</description>

		<description>Additional info

From:  http://science.nasa.gov/earth-science/big-questions/how-does-the-earth-system-respond-to-natural-and-human-induced-changes/

“Earth&#039;s climate system is &quot;sensitive&quot; to any of the aforementioned changes at a scale of 1 watt per square meter, or greater. That amount of energy equals one Christmas tree light bulb for every 3-foot by 3-foot square of our world&#039;s surface. Climate scientists found that adding to or reducing Earth&#039;s energy budget by 1 watt per square meter is enough to cause the globe to warm or cool, depending upon the direction and magnitude of the change. “

From:  http://www.universetoday.com/25756/surface-area-of-the-earth/

“The total surface area of the Earth is 510 million square kilometers.“

Or 510,000,000,0000,0000 square meters.  So, if these numbers are correct, then all that is needed is 510,000,000 megawatts of power to increase the temperature of the Earth‘s climate.
The quicker that amount of energy is generated and released into the environment, the quicker the globe will heat up.
493,014 quadrillion BTU of energy was used in the year 2008.
Info from:  http://www.eia.gov/cfapps/ipdbproject/IEDIndex3.cfm?tid=44&amp;pid=44&amp;aid=2

Converting 493,014 quadrillion BTU to 5.202*10^23 Joules, so in 2008 there was 1.445*10^20 W h. of power being used. 
To me, that seems like enough power, or energy, usage to increase the globe’s temperature.
 Somebody check the math.</description>

		<description>The artificial rain making has been around for a long time and new methods are being tested all the time.
Like the one at the following web site:  http://www.nature.com/news/2010/100502/full/news.2010.213.html

The weather changes can be detrimental to the local areas, but it is much worse if the changes are global in nature.
Perhaps the weather experiments have some effect on the global scale, but I think that there is a different reason for the world wide changes that are taking place.
To see that there are changes all over the world, you can start with some of these web sites:  
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aral_Sea  ,  
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-south-asia-15216875  ,  
http://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2009/3046/  ,  
Excerpt from this site:  http://vanishingsouthgeorgia.com/tag/south-georgia-rivers-creeks-lakes/

“This postcard image shows the pavilion and beach at Crystal Lake in its early days as a tourist attraction, circa 1964. Well known to locals since the 1860s, Crystal Lake was originally known as Bone Pond, for Willis Bone,”

“The lake has now almost completely dried up and is no longer open to the public. Owned by the Adcock Family of Tift County, it is leased as a hunting club today.”

Excerpt from this site:  http://www.iugls.org/great-lakes-water-regulation-a-balancing-act.aspx

“For instance, the amount of water delivered to Lake Superior per month by Mother Nature has varied from 32 to minus 9 centimeters. The minus means there was more evaporation than precipitation and runoff to the lake that month.”

More evaporation than precipitation?  I wonder if that is a relatively recent phenomenon. Could it have something to do with the “extra” energy we are distributing into the environment by converting mass into energy trough the nuclear processes?</description>

		<description>If you think weathewr geo-engineering is a &quot;conspiracy theory&quot;, then yo need to educate yourself:
These exponentially growing programs have no government or public oversight, limited oversight in a very few states which allow them, and no government or public oversight or consent for the rest of them.  These programs change the climate, the micro-climates needed for watersheds, negatively impact tree health, and agriculture crop production.

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Don&#039;t forget we now have a &quot;Mysteries of the Multiverse&quot; board here.&lt;/p&gt;

Anything you&#039;re worried about sounding too strange or smacking of &quot;conspiracy theory&quot; is not only welcome there, but encouraged.  Anomalies, ghosts, bigfeet, UFOs, Men in Black, Reagan Democrats, you name it.

Go for it!</description>

		<description>I&#039;m still not sure if any of you think this is still a conspiracy theory, and actually it SHOULD be over on the Space/Science board but I know Podrock won&#039;t put it there until 2015, when NASA Ames finally brings out the summary of their 10 year results of atmospheric engineering; but high levels of aluminum are now showing up in WHALES, along with public drinking water.

By the time any of you understand or accept this, you&#039;ll already have alzheimers, so it won&#039;t matter.</description>
