The uptake of water by contrails in ice-supersaturated air and the release of water after ice particle advection and sedimentation dehydrates the atmosphere at flight levels and redistributes humidity mainly to lower levels. The contrails impact the entire hydrological cycle in the atmosphere by reducing the total water column and the cover by high- and low-level clouds.

Alexis speaks with George Barnes, director of the award winning film Look Up about action steps we can take to address the issue of geo/climate engineering It was February of 2014 when Alexis first sat down with commercial photographer and film maker George Barnes to discuss the issue of geo-engineering and its potentially grave impact on billions […]

Alexandra May Hunter attended the Paris Climate Conference as a presenter. The title of her subject matter was, “Geoengineering: Existing State Specific Laws and the impacts upon human health, the Eco-system & Economics. An overview and analysis of currently in effect state statutes on air pollution and how any proposed geoengineering and/or climate intervention plans or programs would impact current laws, human health, the Eco-system and state economies.”
Alexandra was well received by many of conference attendees from the academic, scientific, government policy makers of varying levels, lawyers, governance, medical, biologist’s, agency personnel and researchers.

And so the climate conference comes to an end. The sessions were very controlled, repeating the mantra that we’re all going to die from global warming unless we all pay craploads of carbon taxes. The Alan Robock talk was a scant ten minutes, and he wouldn’t take my question. When I chimed in “what about the health effects” he refused to address it in the session. My BFF Ken Caldeira had an equally short talk and wouldn’t take my question either. After the session, I asked what he thought of my paper – and he responded by turning his back on me and scurrying away.

Last week, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released 1,000-plus draft pages of its “Hydraulic Fracturing Drinking Water Assessment.” The report took almost five years to produce and essentially tells us (in great detail) what we already knew: Fracking and drinking water are a bad combination. On top of that, the EPA finally admitted that water resources have already been contaminated by fracking: “We found specific instances where one or more mechanisms led to impacts on drinking water resources, including contamination of drinking water wells.”

Rather than seriously undertaking its mission, the U.S. EPA’s headline and conclusions in the fracking study reflect the agency’s on-going narrative about the safety of fracking. The agency asserted in the report on the study that there were no “widespread, systemic impacts on drinking water resources.” They based this outrageous conclusion on the limited industry controlled data and analysis that was included in the poorly designed research project.

A global march against “chemtrails” and geoengineering is set to take place on April 25th, 2015. It’s a worldwide march similar to the global March Against Monsanto, where millions of people around the world gathered to successfully protest the big biotech giant and Genetically Modified Food (GMOs). You can find out more about the march that’s taking place this weekend here.

In this article, I will be discussing 5 reasons why Earth Day and chemtrails/geoengineering go together and that each Earth Day should include education and development of strategies around this issue. The fact that the date for the International March Against Chemtrails this year occurs the weekend after Earth Day seems to me to be very appropriate. If geoengineering/chemtrail activists are right, that a toxic chemical cocktail is being allowed to rain down upon us, then this phenomenon not only affects our air, but also our land and seas.
