Apathy's Aftermath...

Weather engineering is the cause of climate change.

Xanax and Valium might assist your delusions sir.

I'm a scientist and my research is thorough. I'm not deluded by politicians.

Of what, creationism? Flat earth? I have my doubts.

Note: I haven't commented on any of your posts. It might just mean you're boring.

I noticed that Reggie, but your posts are on science mostly. I'm not talking about Creationism, I'm talking about Solar Radiation Management, and the 1997 Air Force study "Weather as a Force Multiplier: Owning the Weather in 2015". I'm talking about my own observations from a lifetime of watching contrails. I remember what they were when I was a kid, and I see what they are now. I used to fly all the time, on business, and I never saw anything like what I saw when I was flying about ten years ago from PA to MI, and the sky was completely criss-crossed and blanketed by persistent contrails. They told us then it was just increased air traffic. It was not, because I see far less activity currently, at least in PA. But I get reports from CA too, and things are different in different parts of the country. Climate Change is real, absolutely, it's just half the truth. What they are doing with Weather Engineering is like what they did in the Manhatten Project. It will finally be revealed at the proper time.

Must have been a Freudian slip. "Owning the Weather in 2025."

That polar inversion that ruined the winter olympics in Russia was no accident. HAARP is manipulating the jet streams. An extremely powerful weapon.

I have the same book on HAARP too. It was a fun fantasy read, and nothing I heard of while actually BEING an officer in the Air Force (and trust me, I had a Top Secret Special Compartmental Information clearance, so I heard an awful lot). Quoting a conspiracy book is not a scientific reference.

Please refer to the many comments I've put on your blog wall, and measure the proportional relevancy ("0").

I wanted to talk to you too about physics (unrelated to weather engineering) because scientists after all have different perspectives. Gold is a stable element but does that mean it's unchanging from one instant to the next?

Oh, I don't know WHAT I would have done without you! You probably could have helped me get my degrees in physics, or likely not.

White-splaining: a combining form extracted from mansplain, and meaning “to explain or comment on something in a condescending, overconfident, and often inaccurate or oversimplified manner, from the perspective of the group one identifies with,” as in ladysplain; whitesplain : racism being whitesplained to a person of color.

It wasn't any kind of splaining, it was a a question about physics.

I was looking into it a while ago and couldn't find the answer. So far I made a comment about a claim of apathy towards climate change, then a question that I thought a physicist could answer, and look what I get. Thanks anyway.

I think the references about the article explained as much as is needed. The apathy is the mythology around climate change being a "hoax," either by liberal scientists that somehow fabricated by the scientific community that has things like peer review to distinguish fact from malarkey, or as the bloviating, bigoted Orange Cheetos Jesus says: "the Chinese" to ruin American manufacturing. He leaves out the breathtaking hypocrisy of where his ties and flammable scarves are made.

A cursory search of the terms "climate change" http://www.physics4thecool.com/search?q=cl... and "global warming" http://www.physics4thecool.com/search?q=gl... says I've blogged about this quite a bit without your commentary.

Forgive me if I'm tired of fielding questions from the "already converted" whose wall will not be dented in the slightest by data that doesn't already fit their preconceived notions of reality.

Phil Plait (Bad Astronomy) on Slate.com has done far more posts than I on the subject, this one: "The Very, Very Thin Wedge of Denial" http://www.slate.com/blogs/bad_astronomy/2... in excerpt:

..."between November 2012 and December 2013. Out of 2,258 articles (with 9,136 authors), how many do you think explicitly rejected human-driven global warming? Go on, guess!

"One. Yes, one."

The book I purchased on HAARP was about as entertaining as Von Daniken's "Chariots of the Gods," whose had new life breathed into his flimflam on the (non) History Channel (H2) "Ancient Aliens." Also another ditty I read as a teenager "Christ Returns in 1998: 101 Reasons Why." Spoiler alert...It's still on sale at Amazon for $0.01. You'd pay more on shipping than the book itself.

Tomorrow is an epoch of my physics blog: the 2,300th post, 588,550 views. It means nothing. Some of the embeds, links and videos no longer exist since they were pulled from the web. The charter is simple and from Aristotle: "The one exclusive sign of thorough knowledge is the power of teaching." I cannot teach the already convinced.

"Oops" is not the thing you say when the infrastructure of nation states starts falling to droughts, famines and inevitably war.

The only thing you can wonder is what kind of world - if inhabitable - will be left.

We all are rightly concerned about our future generations.

Going on 9 billion people it's not an easy task.
