However, the UC Berkeley team has found new evidence that sun-blocking material will likely also reduce the yields of certain crops. The researchers came to this conclusion by studying previous volcanic eruptions in Mexico and the Philippines. The 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines and El Chichon in Mexico in 1982 caused a decrease in wheat, soy, and rice production due to the volcanic ash blocking sun light.
“Here we use the volcanic eruptions that inspired modern solar radiation management proposals as natural experiments to provide the first estimates, to our knowledge, of how the stratospheric sulfate aerosols created by the eruptions of El Chichón and Mount Pinatubo altered the quantity and quality of global sunlight, and how these changes in sunlight affected global crop yields,” the researchers wrote.
The researchers concluded that “projected mid-twenty-first century damages due to scattering sunlight caused by solar radiation management are roughly equal in magnitude to benefits from cooling”. The team calls for more studies on the effects of solar radiation management on other global systems, including human health. The research team published their study, Estimating global agricultural effects of geoengineering using volcanic eruptions, in the journal Nature.
“If we think of geoengineering as an experimental surgery, our findings suggest that the side effects of the treatment are just as bad as the original disease,” author Jonathan Proctor of the University of California, Berkeley, told Reuters UK during a telephone news conference.
Unfortunately, the UC Berkeley study is only the latest in a long line of research pointing to the dangerous outcomes involved with the implementation of geoengineering technology.
On April 6, Janos Pasztor, former United Nations assistant secretary-general on climate change, spoke at Arizona State University regarding the dangers of solar geoengineering and the need for international rules to regulate the controversial technology. During his speech Pasztor discussed the potential dangers of geoengineering, including the upcoming experiment being conducted by Harvard University in Arizona.
“Some time within the next year, we may see the world’s first outdoor experiment on stratospheric aerosol injection take place here in the skies above Arizona, yet for the most part governments are not aware of, nor addressing, the profound governance issues this poses,” Mr Pasztor said. “We urgently need an open, inclusive discussion on how the world will research and govern solar geoengineering. Otherwise we could be in danger of events overtaking society’s capacity to respond prudently and effectively.”
Pasztor is referencing Harvard engineer (and consistent proponent of climate engineering) David Keith and his plan for a new project, SCoPEx (Stratospheric Controlled Perturbation Experiment), which will assess the risks and benefits of deploying geoengineering on a large public scale. Keith and fellow engineer, Frank Keutsch, will research the benefits and risks by spraying particles such as sulfur dioxide, alumina, or calcium carbonate from a high-altitude balloon over Arizona during 2018.
Pasztor currently serves as the head of the Carnegie Climate Geoengineering Governance Initiative (C2G2), an initiative launched by the Carnegie Council in order to “bring the profoundly complex issues of geoengineering governance and ethics to a much wider audience.” The Carnegie Council has previously called for global governance structures to regulate the use of geoengineering.
In late January, researchers with Yale University, Rutgers University and the University of Maryland offered a warning against the sudden starting or stopping of controversial geoengineering programs. The researchers warn that efforts to inject aerosols into the atmosphere to combat climate change may end up causing more harm to wildlife, the environment, and humanity. The study, “Potentially dangerous consequences for biodiversity of solar geoengineering implementation and termination,” was published in the journal Nature.
This study is not the first one to draw attention to the dangers of beginning geoengineering programs. According to a 2013 study published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, if geoengineering programs were started and then suddenly halted, the planet could see an immediate rise in temperatures, particularly over land. Another study published in February 2015 by an international committee of scientists stated that geoengineering techniques are not a viable alternative to reducing greenhouse gas emissions to combat the effects of climate change. The committee report called for further research and understanding of various geoengineering techniques, including carbon dioxide removal schemes and solar-radiation management before implementation. The scientists found that SRM techniques are likely to present “serious known and possible unknown environmental, social, and political risks, including the possibility of being deployed unilaterally.”
In addition, in late October 2016, the United Nations’ Convention on Biological Diversity released a report examining the problems of geoengineering and whether or not humanity will be forced to employ the practice in an attempt to halt climate change. The report, Update On Climate Geoengineering In relation to the Convention on Biological Diversity: Potential Impacts and Regulatory Framework, found that geoengineering “would reduce the impacts of climate change on biodiversity at the global level,” but also cause unpredictable rain and temperature distribution on the local level.
In addition, back in January a leaked draft report from the U.N. panel of climate experts called geoengineering “economically, socially and institutionally infeasible.” The U.N. once again recognized that geoengineering could disrupt weather patterns.
With all of this evidence indicating disruption of global weather patterns, loss of blue skies, and reduction in crop yields, one has to ask, why is the scientific establishment still pushing such a dangerous idea?

First the ruling elite called it “Global Warming”, a group of so called “scientists” at East Anglia University in London were caught falsifying data in an effort to “prove global warming was going on”. They got caught, so then the CIA controlled mass media began referring to this scam as “Climate Change” (whatever the hell THAT is supposed to mean.) Al Gore used to walk around trying to scare the hell out of everyone with his so called “Hockey Stick Graph” that purported to “prove global warming” was going on. This fraudulent graph conspicuously OMITTED any reference to the Little Ice Age, or to the Medieval Warm Period, historical periods in England where the climate was both much COLDER and much WARMER than anything we’re experiencing today. When the Little Ice Age happened, the Thames River froze solid, and when the Medieval Warm Period happened, they had a more Mediterranean Climate in England and grapes grew quite well just like in Portugal or Spain. Throughout human history there have always been times of solar fluctuation, and these are examples. The Heartland Institute has done a great job of exposing the scam called “Climate Change”. Their climatologists weren’t allowed to present their data at the UN’s Conference on Cliimate Change, or at the Vatican’s conference, so massive censorship is occurring to hide the truth. In fact, we are entering a period of global cooling, another ice age is coming. Geoengineering/ Solar Radiation Management has been going on since the late 80s, and it is raising hell with weather patterns globally as it disrupts the hydrological cycle. The huge draught in California is being caused by geoengineering and it is causing and intensifying wild fires all over the western US while bringing rain to the Midwest were Monsanto has acres of genetically engineered crops planted. Its all about population control and societal control, another part of UN Agenda 21. The Club of Rome and the Vatican are directly involved in pushing it on us. We are being sprayed with billions of metric tons of toxic heavy metals, toxic chemicals including ethylene dibromide and mycoplasma, but the worst thing being sprayed is weaponized parasites that are being tweaked in bioweapons labs at Stanford University and at Yale. This is an effort to hijack our natural biology and turn it synthetic as the elite intend to radically cull the human “herd” and to screw with specific biological processes such as our red blood cells ability to carry oxygen, and others that were identified by Dr. Clifford Carnicom in his paper “A Working Hypothesis on Morgellons Disease”. We must detox our organs of elimination and engage in a program of detoxification on a constant basis to avoid developing full blown Morgellons disease with its open non healing skin lesions that colored fibers come out of, chronic fatigue, extreme itching and pain. Morgellons is yet another CIA created disease that follows their creation of Lymes Disease. Many people who develop full blown Morgellons already had an impaired immune system by getting Lymes first.
I have a double opt in newsletter that people can subscribe to for free that has a lot of valuable information on all of this including how to detoxify to protect yourself. You can subscribe and also see the archives at IAHF dot com.
Nice sum up John Hammell.
to whom is this total scam written up by Bronze(?) actually addressed? To all the blind ones, who do not see what is going on for years, or decades, already?? Just clean up any surface and then touch it within the next few days, and you will end up with SHINY MICRODUST on your fingers, visible with naked eye in a strong light!! That dust accumulates on everything, and everyone, in fact, with every single day. And the more of it is out there, the wilder the explosive ‘fires’ all across this planet!!! That dust prevents normal water condensation and is nicely steerable with microwaves, or laser light in fact. How to do it is partly described at https://physics.aps.org/articles/v5/95 and countless other resources… Also NASA documents are famous for bringing up their news about the ‘dust’: https://www.aircrap.org/2016/04/29/chemtrail-flu-nasa-microdust-weaponry-warfare-document-predicts-aerosols-deployed-as-bio-weapons/
or >hundred pages about it at :

and at many other web pages, which WARN EVERYONE, WAKE UP!!!
More like ‘intended consequences ‘.
Its a new angle on an old game.This is conditioning provided to us so we can reason with the blatant stupidity of capturing a gas,storing it with a yet to be developed technology,and this is the kicker…….taxing people for it.Cap and Trade,more like steal and take.There is technology available now to remove carbon from the air and reuse it as a fuel.That takes away mean old green house gas and leaves no legitimate need for bilking taxpayers for bullshit like geoengineering.
