Yeah, like Brian Williams lying is the biggest problem with the media!
And it’s not as if they’d mention this, either:
A senior US scientist has expressed concern that the intelligence services are funding climate change research to learn if new technologies could be used as potential weapons. Alan Robock, a climate scientist at Rutgers University in New Jersey, has called on secretive government agencies to be open about their interest in radical work that explores how to alter the world’s climate.
Robock, who has contributed to reports for the intergovernmental panel on climate change (IPCC), uses computer models to study how stratospheric aerosols could cool the planet in the way massive volcanic eruptions do. But he was worried about who would control such climate-altering technologies should they prove effective, he told the American Association for the Advancement of Science in San Jose.
Last week, the National Academy of Sciences published a two-volume report on different approaches to tackling climate change. One focused on means to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, the other on ways to change clouds or the Earth’s surface to make them reflect more sunlight out to space.
The report concluded that while small-scale research projects were needed, the technologies were so far from being ready that reducing carbon emissions remained the most viable approach to curbing the worst extremes of climate change. A report by the Royal Society in 2009 made similar recommendations.
The $600,000 report was part-funded by the US intelligence services, but Robock said the CIA and other agencies had not fully explained their interest in the work. “The CIA was a major funder of the National Academies report so that makes me really worried who is going to be in control,” he said. Other funders included Nasa, the US Department of Energy, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
“Timothy Leary……he’s outside looking in.” Moody Blues, Legend of a Mind.
The American people fund the CIA. Without taxpayer money the CIA ceases to exist.
MK-ULTRA and LSD. MK-ULTRA was the CIA program directed at gaining control over human behavior through “covert use of chemical and biological materials like LSD.”
It appears that the CIA now has a program directed at controlling the weather and climate by scrubbing the atmosphere.
The American people fund the CIA. Hasn’t the time come to de-fund the CIA?
Timothy Leary and Ken Kesey, the merry pranksters.
I’ve heard about the Pentagon interest in climate change for several years, so the CIA and other 3-letter agencies also makes sense.
From what I’ve read, it sounds like the little grey men with their fingers on the button are actually smart enough to realize what global warming means. I.e. it’s global. They know nobody can use it as a directed weapon. (And one of the first rules of military strategy is not to use undirected weapons that can hit you just as easily as the enemy.)
Their interest sounds mainly like how to use mitigation – geoengineering so it benefits the US and the consequences for anyone else be damned.
If you know just the tiniest bit more than the very basics about climate change, that attitude is even scarier than the idiots who think they could control the process.
Look up at the sky. The USA is already spraying our skies with persistent trails. They contain substances that are designed to expand and block sunlight. Been happening since 1996. Look at any weather cam and you’ll see the fake clouds being created. Look all over Youtube. People are starting to get pissed about it.
