Hi All, Whilst researching for my Planet in Peril papers I have just come across a source that lists a potential risk of esthetic interferences and inconvenience from the aerosol use for Geoengineering purposes: " Visibly blue moon The most literal meaning of blue moon is when the moon (not necessarily a full moon) appears to a casual observer to be unusually bluish, which is a rare event. The effect can be caused by smoke or dust particles in the atmosphere, as has happened after forest fires in Sweden and Canada in 1950 and 1951,[1] and after the eruption of Krakatoa in 1883, which caused the moon to appear blue for nearly two years. Other less potent volcanos have also turned the moon blue. People saw blue moons in 1983 after the eruption of the El Chichon volcano in Mexico, and there are reports of blue moons caused by Mt. St. Helens in 1980 and Mount Pinatubo in 1991.[2] " ^ Minnaert, M: "De natuurkunde van 't vrije veld" 5th edition Thieme 1974, part I "Licht en kleur in het landschap" par.187 ; ISBN 90-03-90844-3 (out of print); also see ISBN 0-387-97935-2^ a b NASA http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2004/07jul_bluemoon.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_moon I believe there could be a serious outlash from religious conservatives, photographers, poets, and climate change skeptics if the colour of the moon changes in the sky. I would say this could raise a rather serious opposition from certain corners of society. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "geoengineering" group.
