I guess it's reassuring that someone outside of the usual GE suspects is reading this stuff (assuming it's not a bot). On the other hand, if geoengineringwatch is the only group doing this, that might be concerning. Are you able to find out who else bothered to read this report? Is there a reason to be paranoid? Greg

My guess would be that they're monitoring geoengineering research because they can't distinguish it from chemtrails spraying, which I think is military related spraying in the sky that at some level sounds a lot like aerosol spraying in SRM. Many citizens are extremely concerned (and rightly so!) with the health and environmental effects of chemtrail spraying, hence the watchdog group monitoring anything and everything they could find related to it. If a simple keyword in your publication automatically triggered some monitoring by their method, then it's not surprising you got onto their watch list.

Despite all the above it appears that an extensive monitoring operations about my communications and publications are now being carried out byGeoengineering Watch group - shown here by Academia.edu analysis website: see .pdf of web traffic analysis of my site. It was a virtually unrelated article about melting Arctic that related to the evidence I was giving at the Houses of Parliament here in the UK, this April for Sea Research Society. If you read through 47 pages of my evidence I gave, you will come across just one solitary reference, a word 'geoengineering' research therein. Nevertheless, this one solitary reference to 'geoengineering research' in my Parliament evidence has drawn over dozen geoengineering queries byGeoengineering Watch group - an astounding achievement by them in monitoring me: https://www.academia.edu/33000316/MPs_to_review_UKs_role_in_Arctic_sustainability_-_24th_April_2017.docx | | MPs to review UK's role in Arctic sustainability - 24th April 2017.docxwww.academia.eduThe draft paper as at 24th April which is being amended as the draft for the oral presentation session 5th April 2017 does not contain any references and text errors needed corrections. The paper is still being worked on with more sections being | I deliberate here on the possible motivations of "reasons why" and backers of those people who so activelymonitor geoengineering researchers that their radar captures even mosquitoes like me (unless I have unknowingly become something of a geoengineering research giant without really noticing what I had invented)!!! So what are the 'reasons why' and the backers of those people who are attempting to monitor geoengineering researchers and gather information about anything and everything even as small as just one solitary word reference to geoengineering in a fairly long 47-page Parliamentary evidence document? Several possibilities and motivations of these people and other similar groups are coming to my mind. These kind of extensive monitoring efforts almost certainly point to an indirect organised interests and perhaps utilitarian purposes to carry out (help) campaigns against geoengineering research and so to monitor the researchers meticulously. My foremost thought here is that the very idea of someone researching or citing about geoengineering - even briefly - implies (indirectly) that there would be an evidence about changing climate which then justifies an investment in such a research (that threatens the interests of the patrons of the campaigns against geoengineering research). So, if geoengineering research can be refuted (killed), it means that there is also neither climate change and so no need to mitigate any such a climate change. Thus, by killing geoengineering research, "the Plan B", this would also kill all argument for any climate change happening in the first place. According to BBC, during his election campaign, Donald Trump stated recently that climate change was 'a hoax' and, implicitly reconfirmed this by his announcement on Thursday, 1st June 2017, stating that the United States will now withdraw from the Paris Climate Change Agreement. President Trump has since avoided questions on the subject likewise his White House press secretary Sean Spicer. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-40128026 | | Will Paris pull-out hurt Trump? - BBC Newswww.bbc.co.ukThese are external links and will open in a new window In the end the collected pressure from environmentalists, diplomats, major US corporations, foreign ... | I would like to have your reflections what you think about the motivations of those who want to stifle geoengineering? Do you think like I am starting to think that it is partly arising as a fear of admission of climate change happening in the first place. I just think that my Parliament evidence was very thin in geoengineering indeed and there seems to be a paranoia that even one single word justifies attack by a dozen or more people from the said organisation to peer through all 47 pages. Have you had experiences like this or any harassment as a geoengineering researcher? What do you think about my paper and how you see it relevant here?
