Here is a summary of Geoengineering and Weather Modification News from around the globe for Monday, November 16 – Sunday, November 23, 2015
These weekly posts will chronicle links to raise awareness of Geoengineering and Weather Modification activities worldwide in advance of the COP21 conference, where Geoengineering SRM lobbyists will seek funding for their global weather control agendas. As you read these articles, take special note of their tone, their agendas, and who would benefit from the article.

For a full understanding of weather control history, who’s doing it, and why, see our amazing reference site.
If you want to get vast numbers of emails by propeller heads on Geoengineering, I recommend following this list (Groups/Google/Forum/Geoengineering), as I do.

“I know this may sound strange coming from a literature professor,” Karen Pinkus said. “Given that the shift to renewables will not happen fast enough, I believe we may be headed toward some combination of solar radiation management and carbon dioxide removal. If we are going to further geoengineer the planet, we need philosophical reflection and critical thought to guide the technological aspects of our work.”
Lighthouse Daily News: Taking Actions for Climate Change
It seems we will soon be taking actions for climate change through geoengineering. As the Climate Change Conference of the United Nations approaches (it will take place in December in Paris), methods for preserving our environment are brought into light.

The Guardian: Climate crisis: seaweed, coffee and cement could save the planet
If we wished to remove this amount (of CO2) by planting trees, for example, humanity would need, over a 50 year period, to cover an area the size of Australia with forest, planting a New York State-sized area every year, and maintaining the growing trees in a healthy state. It’s important to understand that, despite all of the CO2 that would be drawn out of the atmosphere by the trees, the Earth’s surface would continue to heat up. That’s because we would be replacing bright grasslands and desert – which reflect sunlight into space – with a dark forest canopy, which would capture sunlight and turn it into heat. As this thought experiment illustrates, the best way to think about CO2 by the gigatonne is that it is a volume of greenhouse gas that is significant in terms of planetary function.
Then we better plant twice that many per year ~ Jim

BBC Science Cafe: Geoengineering
In this week’s programme, ahead of the UN Climate Change Conference in Paris, Adam Walton explores some of the more radical ideas which are being put forward to prevent global warming – from artificial ‘forests’ capturing carbon dioxide to the creation of stratospheric veils against the sun. Welcome to the world of geoengineering.

Tech Times: Scientists Want To Combat Global Warming With Controversial Cloud Seeding
More specifically, University of Washington's Joint Institute for the Study of the Atmosphere and Ocean (JISAO) scientists believe that misting the clouds with saltwater, a cloud reflectivity modification technique would help in brightening up the clouds and aid it with reflecting sunlight back to lessen amount of heat that will enter through the atmosphere.
Weather Modification News
PRX: Owning The CloudsHumans have always been interested in controlling the weather. In the past we used raindances and sacrifices; today we turn to science. Cloud seeding is practiced all over the world, but there's still a lot we don't know about it. This piece delves into the surprising history, the controversial present, and the uncertain future of cloud seeding.The San Diego Union-Tribune: Rain promised, flood followed in 1916 (Photo Gallery)
The Hatfield brothers were unaware of the death and destruction west of the mountains because they left Lake Morena shortly after they saw 4 feet of water spilling over the top of the dam, which held. Charles was satisfied that he had fulfilled the contract and would collect his $10,000.But the Hatfields were not treated as conquering heroes in San Diego. In fact, they had to lay low after an anonymous caller threatened to lynch the brothers because of the damage the city had endured.
The next month, City Attorney Terence Cosgrove insisted that San Diego wasn’t obligated to pay Hatfield anything. Only some of the water that spilled over the Lake Morena dam could be attributed to Hatfield, he said. The City Council voted 3-2 not to honor the agreement.
Brimner suspects that even before the rain started falling, Cosgrove had no intention of paying Hatfield no matter what happened that winter. Cosgrove also knew that if the city admitted that Hatfield was working for it, the floodgates would open for legal claims against the city.
Hatfield later filed suit seeking the $10,000 he said he was promised. Cosgrove told Hatfield’s attorney he would instruct the council to authorize payment to Hatfield — if Hatfield would sign an agreement assuming responsibility for all flood claims, which by then had topped $3 million. The case lingered into 1917.
“Charles was hoping it (the rain) would be considered an act of Charles,” Brimner said. “But the courts decided it was an act of God. Hatfield knew he had been beaten.”
Antara News: President Jokowi emphasizes importance of intelligence cooperation
The Indonesian government has taken all efforts to fight the fires from land as well as air, involving more than 30,000 personnel, and has also conducted weather modification, while spreading 325 tons of salt to seed clouds to generate artificial rain using four planes, he said.The Standard: Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao needs P50m to cope with El Niño
Mending told media the proposed El Niño mitigation fund “will be used for programs to lessen the impact of drought, to provide farmers alternative livelihood, for cloud seeding operations, for medicine to make working animals stronger amid excruciating heat, and for procurement of heat-resistant agricultural products to be distributed to farmers.”Manilla Bulletin: Binay doubts gov’t can address El Niño displacement of 1M workers
“The worsening El Niño must be addressed through water conservation, cloud seeding and rice importation,” Binay said.Manilla Bulletin: Bulacan farmers fear poor harvest
Many farmers like Mang Nitoy said National Irrigation Administration (NIA officials have no choice but to cut temporarily the irrigation needs of Central Luzon and spend millions for 60-hour cloud-seeding operations over the Angat Dam watershed to avert a crisis.
