Hi everyone! I bring to you a small list of recent videos on the topics of geoengineering.
There's a playlist with more videos on topic, you can check it here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLF8369A27273314D8 Enjoy! Hope we all have a great coming week. *How can fiction help people think about Solar Radiation Modification?* https://youtu.be/GtnQYz0BqRo by C2G Carnegie Climate Governance Initiative When author Eliot Peper first heard about solar geoengineering, or solar radiation modification, he knew he had to write a novel. “There are so many different angles on this kind of a problem. It raises so many questions that impact every area of our lives,” he told C2GTalk ( https://www.c2g2.net/c2gtalk/) . Speculative fiction, says Peper, can spark people’s curiosity and inspire them to become engaged. “If it makes other people look more deeply and pay more attention, to me that’s a huge win.” Eliot Peper is the author of nine novels, including Cumulus, Bandwidth, and Neon Fever Dream. He publishes a blog, sends a monthly newsletter, tweets more than he probably should, and lives in Oakland, CA. Peper’s most recent novel, Veil, is a speculative thriller about diplomats, hackers, spies, scientists, and billionaires racing to control our climate future. Janos Pastor, C2G’s executive director, calls Veil “the tale we need to confront climate change. Peper deftly explores one of the most controversial ideas on the climate agenda—solar geoengineering—and its geopolitical quandaries—raising tough questions and showing why we require new forms of governance to answer them." *Saving the Arctic with Cloud Brightening* https://youtu.be/0BBVTStBrhw?list=PLF8369A27273314D8 by Facing Future Sean Twomey, an Irish physicist, flew into clouds to measure their reflectivity, and found that the smaller and more numerous the water droplets, the higher the albedo. Watching the white spray from crashing waves, John Latham realized that Twomey's idea could work to keep the Arctic cool. If tiny droplets of seawater could be seeded into clouds, they would reflect more sunlight, and prevent ice from melting in the summer. He asked #StephenSalter to design a system to make it work. He did. Peter Wadhams agrees that this method would apply a sticking plaster to global warming and buy time to restore the climate. The same process could help preserve coral reefs. Now the question is, can someone be found to finance the operation soon enough to prevent the melting of the Arctic and subsequent release of methane? As #PaulBeckwith points out, it's not rocket science. Instead of sending rockets into space, if Messrs. Musk, Bezos, or Branson would focus on saving the planet, they could provide the ships needed for marine cloud brightening. #PeterWadhams notes that the cost is low for such a powerful intervention and well worth it. It could save the sea ice, the coral reefs, and help cool the ocean. If nations won't do it, maybe a scientifically minded billionaire can rise to the challenge. *Debating The Geoengineering Reality, Dane Wigington and Cal Tech Scientist Douglas MacMartin* https://youtu.be/HXAFh5fktSU?list=PLF8369A27273314D8 by Dane Wigington In regard to critically important issues that have extreme ramifications, live on air debates of verifiable facts are absolutely essential. Global climate engineering programs pose an immense and immediate threat to the Earth’s life support systems (and thus the entire web of life). A live on-air public debate has now taken place on WBAI radio in New York (hosted by Geoff Brady) in order to specifically address the ongoing global geoengineering reality. Cal Tech / Cornell / MIT scientist Douglas MacMartin says climate engineering is not occurring. Dane Wigington, lead researcher for GeoengineeringWatch.org (the world's largest and most visited geoengineering website) states available data makes overwhelmingly clear that global geoengineering programs have been deployed for decades with catastrophic results. Who is telling the truth and backing it up with verifiable facts? View this fast moving 1 hour video (complete with imagery and documents related to the debate) and decide for yourself. We must publicly expose academicians who are helping to cover the tracks of the climate engineers. Once the public is fully awakened to the geoengineering atrocities, those that are accomplices to the cover-up should be held legally and morally accountable in a court of law. All of us are needed in the critical battle to expose and halt climate engineering, sharing credible data is key.
