Hi,

And don’t forget the splitting of Jerusalem, but then again, it was Prophesized ( Joel )…

“Do you think that this started the end of January, 2009?”

Not me! Industry’s been in a slump since 2002, but I’ll accept the assertion that the economy began the plunge in December 2007.

When global cooling was the climate emergency, plans were afoot to spread soot on the Arctic ice cap to absorb sunlight and artificially warm the planet (”The Cooling World”, Newsweek, April 28, 1975).

Fortunately, nothing was ever done to avert this impending catastrophe of global cooling. Then, with no assistance from mankind, the climate reversed temps all by itself. Or maybe post WWII industrial CO2 emissions kicked in, just in time. It’s funny how Mother Nature works. And government-science complex. And media-science complex. And the environmental-science complex.

Whether we were smarter back in 1975 than now remains to be seen. We’re getting close to finding out.

What do you mean? Do you think that this started the end of January, 2009?

Can’t we just stop with the madness already? What kind of “science adviser” is this? He sounds like a raving lunatic!

Why not get your data directly from the source:

The U.S. Department of Energy Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program
Indirect and Semi-Direct Aerosol Campaign (ISDAC)

I’m amused at how zealots try to pin the Economic Crisis on Obama.

FYI

The recession began in December 2007

Bear Stearns failed in March 2008

Obama was elected November 2008

Obama took office January 2009 – 13 months after the crisis began

The Obama Adminstration budget will be enacted October 1, 2009

I believe using artificial means to try and reflect the sunlight in the upper atmosphere is foolish and shortsighted. We spent decades trying to remove atmospheric pollutants. Now they want to re-introduce them?!

That’s just dumb.

Carbon sequestration is equally stupid.

Reduce the emissions at the source.
Prevent the destruction of and help restore natural carbon sinks.

“We believe there is enough evidence to warrant an immediate investigation. Our federal, state and county water and air quality officials have a legal and moral responsibility to locate the sources of these contaminants and protect the public welfare.”

I believe that too. So before making wackadoodle claims, find evidence that links these chemicals to intentional dispersion via aircraft. Determine what portion of the contaminants are the results of industrial emissions, geological sources and leachates.

Your assertions about contrail formation were factually flawed. The assertion here about the chemical pollution sources are completely useless without ant effort to trace the paths of the contaminants.
