CHEMTRAILS%20-%20CONFIRMED%20-%202010%20by%20William%20Thomas

No wonder. Since the 1970s, as Arctic temperatures have risen a balmy 11 degrees, the thickness
Arctic ice cap has shrunk by nearly half. This warming is extending far inland and underwater to
thousands of billions of tons of methane stored in the frozen tundra and seafloor. Once released in the
atmosphere, methane traps 22-times more heat than CO2. If it lets go, we will be toast. And we may
have a hard time breathing.
Issued for peer review on May 15, 2000, Chapter 4 of the GOVERNMENT / EXPERT REVIEW IPCC-
WGIII TAR SOD report was all about geoengineering – the deliberate, large-scale, manipulations of
dynamic and complex Earth ecologies we know little about such interactions, and have no control
whatsoever over the vast oceanic processes that drive weather and climate.
Intended to advise policy makers around the globe on ways to anticipate and perhaps ameliorate the
catastrophic effects of global warming, the IPCC report pointed to the plausible “potential” of Caldeira’s
computer models and Teller’s sunscreen scenario. By increasing Earth reflective albedo by 1½ to 2%, a
predicted doubling of atmospheric CO2 over the next 50 years would result in no net temperature
increase. At least, not over the Western Hemisphere.
Concurring with a 1992 National Academy of Scientists study, Teller and his cohorts found that 10
million tons of sunlight-reflecting chemicals spread in the atmosphere would be sufficient to increase the
albedo of the Earth by just under 1%.
They did not say what would happen to millions of people who inhaled particulates so tiny the EPA
called them “an extreme human health hazard.”
But the IPCC worried about “unexpected environmental impacts, our lack of complete understanding of
the systems involved, and our concerns with the legal and ethical implications.”
International atmospheric experts also cautioned against “the potential impact on atmospheric
chemistry,” the change in diffuse sunlight (later termed “global dimming”) – “and the associated
whitening of the visual appearance of the sky.”
GOING FOR IT ANYWAY
Panicking scientists now say that an 80% reduction in CO2 emissions is essential for meaningful climate
change abatement. Immediate and drastic reductions in fossil fuel consumption would not only literally
provide breathing space, but would also cushion the shock of no-longer-affordable oil. Known as Peak
Oil, this dangerous intersection of plummeting oil supplies and skyrocketing demand is already occurring
– and is expected to seriously disrupt advanced societies… very soon.
The first detailed assessment of more than 800 oil fields – covering three-quarters of global reserves –
has just found that most of the biggest fields have already peaked, and the rate of decline in oil
production is now running at nearly twice the pace as calculated just two years ago.
Chronic under-investment by oil-producing countries is hastening an "oil crunch" within the next five
years that will jeopardize any hope of a recovery from the present global economic recession said Dr
Fatih Birol, the chief economist at the respected International Energy Agency in Paris, which is charged
with the task of assessing future energy supplies.
In its first-ever assessment of the world's major oil fields, the IEA concluded that the global energy
system was at a crossroads and that consumption of oil was "patently unsustainable", with expected
demand far outstripping supply. Oil production has already peaked in non-OPEC countries and the era
of cheap oil has come to an end, it warned.
"We have to leave oil before oil leaves us," Dr Birol said. "The earlier we start, the better, because all of
our economic and social system is based on oil, so to change from that will take a lot of time and a lot of
money and we should take this issue very seriously."
