Self Made Disaster

Recently, in Aspen, as group of climatologists had a run in with Lowell Wood, pentagon Weaponeer who's idea it is to shoot particulates into the stratosphere to reduce the amount of heat the planet absorbs.

They'd be invisible to the naked eye, Wood argued, and harmless to the environment. Depending on the number of particles you injected, you could not only stabilize Greenland's polar ice -- you could actually grow it.

At first glance it sounded reasonable, but the counter arguments regarding the possibility of permanent damage to the planet is something to not be taken lightly. Recently, for example, I began to understand that individual water droplets, being di-poles unto themselves and tending to form at certain altitudes in flat even-bottomed sheets, could be a form of condensation formed by electrical/magnetic reactions to the magnetic field of the earth. It could possibily change the principles of meteorology if we could prove an interaction between water ions while suspended in a electric/magnetic field, and terrain and other ground features.

A common man looking at this idea through the new paradigm can see the prophetic words in the article, written by Lester Brown, are not words to be taken lightly. We do not know what is going on up there in our skies and for some reason they do not make sense. But we are looking at the skies as electrically neutral. This is not the case, Tornadoes have been shown to be electric phenomenon and this means our atmosphere, the buffer between the capacitors of the planet's surface and the ionosphere, has clearly the possible capacity to alter and affect cloud formation and it's not just heat and gas laws which have to be taken into consideration.

Lester Brown, one of the godfathers of the environmental movement and president of the Earth Policy Institute, sees geoengineering as "another step down the road of actively managing the planet -- something we've already proven we're not terribly good at. The whole idea of geoengineering is based on an assumption that we know how this all works, when in truth we haven't a clue."

Lester is right, we will never have a clue in an electrically neutral universe.
