RE: The Deadpost Initiative - Week 14 - Share your most undervalued work + week 13 winners ($10 STEEM prize pool) - Let's go Trending this week to get a huge prize pool next week!
Thank you for sharing. I will definitely being going back through the rest of your series, this is an area that I want to know more about. I think you made a good point: "The way I see it, is to give the sky and the oceans the official status of a national park where experiments with weather or anything else are not permitted and not-tolerated.. " It is concerning to know how little we actually know about these chemicals, experiments, etc. we put into the air for all life to have to deal with. There seems to be little regard for what may happen to the entire ecosystem on earth.
Very enlightening post. Looking forward to reading more of your posts.
Thanks. I actually find it very important that we know as much as possible about what is going on in this area - it is a s you: all life has to deal with it. I'm not finished with the geoengineering series, yet, although what is officially known as geoengineering is more or less covered. But I don't think I have the last ot the ultimate word about it. It would do us and every living being good, if the sky and the oceans would be left undisturbed, besides every hadron collider and cyclotron on the planet should be forbidden to operate, unless the physicist prove that it is harmless, has no impact at all and personally reliable for any consequences.
Fascinating post, @irastra. It is obvious that you are very passionate about geoengineering and the impact it has on the planet. It seems that, in some cases, manipulation of the weather could bring great benefit. For example, creating rain in areas of drought where crops are failing and animals perish due to lack of water. However, a change in one system inevitably creates changes in others, and not necessarily for the better. In my example, other animals may move to the newly "watered" area, only to perish if humans do not continue to manipulate the weather in that same area. Those animals may have been better off where they were and, over time, could have adapted to changing conditions. It's not all that different of a chicken-and-egg argument as seen with selective animal control. Thanks for the thought provoking-post.
Thank you very much @crystalize for the information. I haven't finished the Geoengineering series, yet, just the collecting of information for the next GS #10 takes a bit longer.
It is a highly technical topic with significant environmental and social ramifications. Good on your for tackling it. I'll be watching for the next installment.
Ok @irastra I will have to go back and check all of the series now. I am aware of geoengineering and more than likely one of those series may make mention of the U.S. Airforce.
The post was informative and worthy of posting, but I would suggest maybe a couple of things. Start using paragraph headers if possible and also post the sources of your material.
I did look at some of your later posts in GE to see if you were doing that and it didn't look like you had.
What you post about should be more widely known and I applaud your efforts towards that end.
I also liked your 1st book review on Edward Bernays "Propaganda". I truly believe that if everyone read and understood that book the world would be a much better place.
As time permits I will try and go back to read your whole GE series.
Thanks for suggestions @sighmanjestah, I'll take them into consideration. I can't edit the posts as they are past the 7-day window, but I may make a compliation of posts with all the sources that are now in links.
Saying that only US Airforce is doing this would be misleading, it looks like more or less every state is doing it to a certain degree, but other documents of this type might be less readily available also due to other languages. It looks like humankind is jointly chopping off the branch upon which we all sit.
Thanks for liking Propaganda book review, I thought no one really read it. I agree, it might be better if everyone would read and undertood that book, but people should not react with rage on the realizations it brings.
I realize you can't go back and edit the older posts, I was just offering it as a suggestion to make the post more readable and therefore hopefully get you more aware individuals.
I reread what I said about the USAF and realized I left out part of what I wanted to say and that was the paper the USAF put out about "owning the weather". Are you familiar about this paper in your researching?
I did catch the part about saying more than likely other states are doing it and that was something I had not considered prior to reading your post.
If you haven't already submitted it in one of the earlier deadpost initiatives I'd encourage you to try doing it.
I hope you did not take offense at my suggestions.
PS As time permits I'd like to go through your obsolescence posts as well.
I know the USAF document and in the Obsoleteness posts you may find another even more terrible one, or at least similarly terrible. And the patents speak for themselves. Really, what are we thinking, I mean, we humans?
No, your suggestions didn't offend me, I'll use them in the next GE series post when it's finished, partly. I thought of placing the used literature links in the last post, so that the style of the posts remains the same. I tried to do it differently before but it just didn't function and then I just didn't want to spend more time correcting the mess than writing.
I am still trying to figure out how to do some formatting. I understand what you mean. I will get something formatted on one post and then forget how I did it on the next post. Truly frustrating.
