In 2019, researchers plan to spray particles into the stratosphere to test the geoengineering method of dimming the sun.
By Matt Agorist | The Free Thought Project
The controversial subject of geoengineering or weather modification – which was popularized, and oversimplified with the term “chemtrails” – is once again stepping from the shadows and into the light of public scrutiny. And it may soon be a reality as scientists plan first-ever experiment to spray particles in the sky to dim the sun.
What was once a conspiracy theory is now the subject of congressional debate, peer-reviewed studies, and now a Harvard experiment. Harvard scientists will attempt to replicate the climate-cooling effect of volcanic eruptions with a world-first solar geoengineering experiment set for early 2019.
What was once a conspiracy theory will soon be a reality, in only months.
Known as the Stratospheric Controlled Perturbation Experiment (SCoPEx), the experiment will spray calcium carbonate particles high above the earth to mimic the effects of volcanic ash blocking out the sun to produce a cooling effect.
The experiment was announced in Nature magazine last month, who was one of few outlets to look into this unprecedented step toward geoengineering the planet:
“If all goes as planned, the Harvard team will be the first in the world to move solar geoengineering out of the lab and into the stratosphere, with a project called the Stratospheric Controlled Perturbation Experiment (SCoPEx). The first phase — a US$3-million test involving two flights of a steerable balloon 20 kilometres above the southwest United States — could launch as early as the first half of 2019. Once in place, the experiment would release small plumes of calcium carbonate, each of around 100 grams, roughly equivalent to the amount found in an average bottle of off-the-shelf antacid. The balloon would then turn around to observe how the particles disperse.”
Naturally, the experiment is concerning to many people, including environmental groups, who, according to Nature, who say such efforts are a dangerous distraction from addressing the only permanent solution to climate change: reducing greenhouse-gas emissions.
The idea of injecting particles into the atmosphere to cool the earth also seems outright futile considering what scientists are trying to mimic—volcanic eruptions. If we look at the second largest eruption of the 20th century, Mount Pinatubo, which erupted in the Philippines in 1991, it injected 20 million tons of sulfur dioxide aerosols into the stratosphere. Scientists from the USGS estimated that this 20 million tons only lowered the temperature of the planet by about 1°F (0.5°C) and this only lasted a year because the particles eventually fell to back to Earth.
The Harvard team, led by scientists Frank Keutsch and David Keith, has been working on the SCoPEx project for several years but they haven’t always been in total agreement. In fact, as nature reports, Keutsch—who is not a climate scientist—previously thought the idea to be “totally insane.” But he’s since changed his mind. As Nature reports:
“When he saw Keith talk about the SCoPEx idea at a conference after starting at Harvard in 2015, he says his initial reaction was that the idea was “totally insane”. Then he decided it was time to engage. “I asked myself, an atmospheric chemist, what can I do?” He joined forces with Keith and Anderson, and has since taken the lead on the experimental work.”
Adding to the questionable nature of this experiment is the fact that it is largely funded by none other than Microsoft co-founder, Bill Gates. Gates is no stranger to controversial experiments as he’s publicly funded many of them including one that would implant devices into babies to automatically give them vaccines.
While the Harvard team’s experiment may sound like something out of a dystopian science fiction movie, the reality is that it has long been on the table of governments and think tanks from around the world. In fact, just last month, a new study published in Environmental Research Letters, talked about doing the exact same thing—geoengineering and planes spraying particulates into the atmosphere to curb global warming.
What’s more, that study echoed the sentiments of then-CIA director John Brennan when he addressed the Council on Foreign Relations in 2016, detailing a similar process of spraying chemical particulates in the atmosphere to cool the planet.
At the meeting, Brennan addressed instability and transnational threats to global security at a meeting with the Council on Foreign Relations. During his long-winded talk of threats to US interests and how the largely CIA-created ISIL threat is impacting the world, Brennan brought up the topic of geoengineering:
“Another example is the array of technologies—often referred to collectively as geoengineering—that potentially could help reverse the warming effects of global climate change. One that has gained my personal attention is stratospheric aerosol injection, or SAI, a method of seeding the stratosphere with particles that can help reflect the sun’s heat, in much the same way that volcanic eruptions do.”
Brennan went on to echo the calls from some scientists who have called for aerial spraying:
“An SAI program could limit global temperature increases, reducing some risks associated with higher temperatures and providing the world economy additional time to transition from fossil fuels. The process is also relatively inexpensive—the National Research Council estimates that a fully deployed SAI program would cost about $10 billion yearly.”

what gives them the right? effects the whole planet. what gives them the right?
i trust them not at all. dim the sun. sounds like something a super-villain might want to do.
wont that require a massive fleet of new aircraft capable of operating in the stratosphere? how much is that going to cost? us military is already greatest contributor to anthropogenic global warming. wont this just increase the carbon footprint? not to mention the unintentional consequences, which are likely not all that unintentional.

Nomad, if these people aren’t stopped, I’m pretty certain that the US military will be paying for it if they’re doing doing so already. People have been complaining about chemtrails for years and the mysterious illnesses they seem to cause. I’m sure the Pentagon is only interested in the military utilizations – like inflicting drought on your enemies. I don’t think they give a damn about climate change.

If Bill Gates has anything to do with it than that makes it suspect from the gitgo. I don’t know why those people in Africa haven’t thrown that deviant out. Bill Gates acts as though the whole world is his to experiment with and the amount of money that he is using for this insane project could have gone to house hundreds of thousands of homeless people and feed the hungry. That shit (geoengineering)they want to do with $10 billion yearly is a joke and not a very funny one at that!
And I am equally as tired as nomad is of having no say in what gets sprayed on my ass! This is madness!

i notice that evidence of earlier weather experiments are being scrubbed from the internet. chemtrailsplanet.net has been removed. videos scrubbed but luckily i captured one or two articles you might find interesting.
” On August 7, 1994, in Oakville, Washington at 3am, rain began to fall, blanketing a 20 square mile area. Though that is common in the area, residents began to note that it was not water but a strange, gelatinous substance they had never seen before. “

” it was not water but a strange, gelatinous substance they had never seen before.”
I’ve seen it….in my own kitchen sink! When I lived in Minnesota, I wondered why there was something that resembled ‘gel’ in my sink. The ‘water’ actually turned to ‘gel’. I called the water inspectors and threw sixteen fits. They came out and tested the water and then a few weeks later, called me and said that the water had a wee bit of bacteria in it, tasted nasty and smelled bad, but it was okay for me to drink. I cussed those assholes out to no end and told them to send their mama over here to use it! That is when I did research on ‘bottled water’ and thankfully found some great water since I contacted the company and received a report from them as to the situation as it pertains to their water.
Nomad, they’ve already begun to do this shit we are only just now hearing about. This is why people are dropping dead in droves from shit that was never heard of half a century ago. And this is why I go on and on about ‘pasty-assed parasites’ because it is whites who are responsible for doing this mess. If we were still living like ALL indigenous peoples lived, we would not be dealing with the mess we are dealing with, but whites came along and decided that how the indigenous populations lived was the most fucked up way of living and turned around and literally fucked everything up and now they claim to be fixing what they’ve fucked up???!!! That is beyond ridiculous!

I totally share your opinion of Gates, Shelby. If there’s an evil technology that hurts a lot of people, he always seems to end up supporting it.
It’s stuff like this that makes a joke out of our so-called democracy. We’re just playthings to the billionaires and lackeys that run our do-called democratic governments.

Chemtrails are nothing compared to Gates nuclear plans. They have been using sulfuric acid droplet above the stratosphere for years by now. Old hat.
