Stop The Experimental Weather Modification Bill

- By Rosalind Peterson

U.S. Senate Bill 517 and U.S. House Bill 2995, a bill that would allow experimental weather modification by artificial methods and implement a national weather modification policy, does not include agriculture or public oversight, is on the "fast track" to be passed early in 2006.

This bill is designed to implement experimental weather modification. The appointed Board of Directors established by this bill does not include any agricultural, water, EPA, or public representatives, and has no provisions for Congressional, State, County, or public oversight of their actions or expenditures.

Weather Modification may adversely impact agricultural crops and water supplies. If the weather is changed in one state, region or county it may have severe consequences in another region, state or county. And who is going to decide the type of weather modification experimentation and who it will benefit or adversely impact?

This experimental weather modification bill will impact residents across the United States not just in California. Many current and ongoing weather modification programs (47 listed by NOAA in 2005), including the one in Wyoming that is designed to increase the snowpack, may be diverting rainwater away from Oklahoma and Texas, two states that are currently fighting fires caused by a lack of rainfall. We have no idea what the unintended consequences of the Wyoming action or other experimental weather modification programs might be now or in the future.

In addition to the experimental weather modification programs listed by NOAA, there are both private and ongoing government sponsored atmospheric testing and heating programs underway in Alaska and across the United States. Alaska Senator Stevens recently received $50 million in funding for Alaska's atmospheric heating program.

All of these unregulated, private, government, and public weather modification programs, may also have unintended synergistic effects. Senate Bill 517 does not address these issues but intends to implement more experimental weather modification programs without a national debate or public oversight.

Artificial weather modification can impact all of us by reducing water supplies, changing agricultural crop production cycles, reducing crop production, and water availability. Since most experimental weather modification programs use chemicals released into the atmosphere the public could be subjected increasingly toxic or unknown substances that could adversely impact agricultural crops and trees.

Trimethyl Aluminum (TMA) and barium are just two of the toxic chemicals used in recent atmospheric heating and testing programs according to NASA. The Alaska H.A.A.R.P. atmospheric heating program may have the capability of changing the Jet Stream which could also change our weather.

Many private weather modification companies admit that precipitation effects may be positive or negative. Fog dispersal programs, using dry ice, liquid nitrogen, liquid propane or silver iodide may improve visibility while adversely impacting Redwood Trees along the California coast by depriving them of needed water they derive from the fog.

The increasing use of varied chemicals like aluminum (coupled with increasing air pollution), can severely impact tree health by depriving trees of water and nutrients normally absorbed through their root systems.

The December 2005 Popular Science Magazine discussed a plan to use an oil slick to stop hurricanes without noting the adverse environmental impacts of the oil used to cover the ocean.

Popular Science also noted that a private company, Dyn-O-Mat, plans to purchase jets to drop thousands of pounds of a water absorbing chemical powder (unknown substance), into hurricanes to absorb moisture that may dissipate hurricanes. There is no agriculture oversight or public hearings to determine the consequences of this and other actions or to monitor or prevent adverse impacts of this chemical once it falls on the surface of the ocean or on land.

Alaska and other areas across the United States are beginning to feel the impacts of climate change. Enormous changes are being seen in the declining health of native plant and tree communities in many areas across the United States.

NASA noted in an October 2005 newsletter that increasingly persistent contrails are ".trapping warmth in the atmosphere and exacerbating global warming." NASA goes on to note that: ".Any increase in global cloud cover will contribute to long-term changes in Earth's climate. Likewise, any change in Earth's climate may have effects on natural resources."

Global dimming and the persistent contrails, that produce man-made clouds, may have serious impacts on crop production. A recent corn crop study in Illinois shows that cloud cover reduces corn crop production while direct sunlight increases production. In addition, increasing man-made clouds may reduce the effectiveness of solar panels.

Gil Smolin, an Avian Bird Flu expert, noted on the Ron Owens Show on KGO Radio (January 5, 2006), that the flu was spread more quickly in the winter when there was a "lack of sunlight". Would man-made clouds be contributing to the lack of sunlight which might cause the Avian Bird flu to spread more quickly at other times of the year? Experimental weather modification programs could also exacerbate this problem by changing climate patterns, increasing man-made cloud cover, and changing our weather and climate patterns.

Senate Bill 517 does not address any of these important issues. Its sole purpose is to establish an experimental weather modification policy without any agriculture or public oversight of private, military, and government programs. Without oversight or public hearings agriculture, our natural resources, and watersheds may be negatively impacted. And who will be responsible to determine the synergistic effects of these programs or pay for unintended disasters created by this experimentation. If these programs change growing seasons and interrupt the pollination process crop losses could be substantial exacerbating economic losses.

Please contact all of your elected local, state and federal officials to stop this bill in its present form. This bill needs to have appropriate agriculture and public oversight, with public hearings included, prior to any more experimental projects. We need a national dialogue on this subject before more experimentation takes place.

Rosalind Peterson was born and raised on a working farm in Redwood Valley, California. The weather was the foremost factor in determining whether or not our tree crops produced fruit and nuts.

Between 1989 and 1993 Rosalind worked as an Agricultural Technologist for the Mendocino County Department of Agriculture. After leaving Mendocino County she took a position with the USDA Farm Service Agency as a Program Assistant in Mendocino, Sonoma, and the Salinas County Offices.

In 1995, she became a certified U.S.D.A. Farm Service Agency Crop Loss Adjustor working in more than ten counties throughout California. Many crop losses throughout the State can be attributed to weather related causes.

Rosalind has a BA degree from Sonoma State University in Environmental Studies & Planning (ENSP), with emphasis on agriculture and crop production.

Over the past half dozen years, more and more Americans are wondering why their beautiful blue skies are turning a murky gray after a massive fly over by unidentified aircraft. A growing number are questioning just what is being left behind from all those strange contrails, who is doing the spraying and what is the purpose? I have written about this in the past; one can find a plethora of columns on the world wide web on this subject. Unfortunately, too much of it's junk and conspiracy theories spewed out by people who have no knowledge of the subject matter and turn speculation into "fact."

One year ago at this time I was contacted by Rosalind Peterson on this issue and found her to be a highly knowledgeable source and someone who does hard, time consuming research. She is also very qualified to evaluate this issue; Rosalind was a certified U.S.D.A. Farm Service Agency Crop Loss Adjuster working in more than ten counties throughout California. Rosalind lives in Mendocino County, north of where I live in Sacramento County. At my urging, Rosalind recently wrote a column on an upcoming bill in Congress on weather modification; see here.

Rosalind provided me with a box of research (weighing in at about 300 pounds!) which contained not only hundreds of photos of what is happening in her area to crops and trees (mirroring the same here in Sacramento County), but also water tables and mountains of data. We were finally able to secure an appointment last May with my state assemblyman's chief aide. The minute we walked into his office, we were greeted with, "I'm not interested in any conspiracy theories." That told me right away that Assemblyman Niello's office had already been bombarded with people contacting their office making allegations that most likely spooked the staff, i.e., the federal government is deliberately spraying the skies to kill off millions of Americans. It's exactly that kind of rhetoric which turns off those who are in a position to get some answers. In the end, Niello's office has done nothing and in November, I'll vote for a Constitution Party candidate or write in my own name. This issue is one of the top in my book because I know humans and the environment are in grave danger from the effects of these chemicals. Niello wants to ignore it, he will not get my pretend vote.

I don't claim to know it all, but after being in the trenches for sixteen long years, I do know that presentation and first impressions are everything because you might not have a second chance. In my humble opinion, Rosalind has approached this issue in a way that will eventually force public servants to deal with it. There is no question that the federal government has been fooling with the weather. There is no question that the powers that be who run Washington, DC from behind the curtain of deceit want control of space to be used as a weapon. There is no question the government wants total control of the weather and not for honorable reasons. There is no question in my mind after all the research I have done and read from dedicated Americans like Rosalind, that the health of Americans has been severely impacted by the chemicals raining down from these contrails. I also know that both elected and unelected public servants do not want to touch this issue, but we the people are about to turn up the heat so it can't be ignored.

In Rosalind's column, she clearly and succinctly defined the problem with House Bill 2995 and Senate Bill 517. It is imperative that this bill - both versions - get killed before it's too late. These bills are on fast tracking. The only way that's going to have a chance of happening is a massive uproar as we are seeing with this UAE port scam. There is a protest demonstration scheduled for later this month and I want to see supporters there - lots of them!

I will be speaking at this event and am very happy to be part of this effort. I know that this demonstration is on a Thursday, a workday. However, when Jodi Waters had her two rallies here at our state capitol in Sacramento on the MTBE issue on weekdays, both rallies drew thousands of people and that is not an exaggeration. It was amazing. People took a vacation day; some might have fudged and took a sick day hoping they wouldn't appear on the nightly news. The bottom line is the last rally rocked the capitol and the rats inside so badly it made my heart sing. Jodi's efforts brought down the oil companies and she is responsible for being the one woman hurricane that forced the MTBE issue to a successful conclusion.

If you live in the LA area, please get to this rally. Take a vacation day. Call your friends and relatives who might be retired. Call your friends, relatives or business colleagues that own their business and ask them to please get to this rally because we need thousands there. One other thing from the voice of experience: Many folks sent me e-mail saying they don't know anyone in their area to get active. These types of events are the perfect place to meet like minded folks and finding out who is heading up an organization right in your own county so that you can become part of the solution in a meaningful way. I have been all over this country in the past sixteen years making speeches and attending rallies. It has been a rewarding and exciting experience. I have made friendships with wonderful Americans that have lasted through the years and for this, I am truly blessed.

I encourage everyone who is a victim of this spraying above your cities and towns to do the same thing Rosalind and Bridget are doing: Coordinate a protest rally in front of your congress critter's office - preferably when they are back in the district. If you have talk radio in your area, call up and get things rolling. If you belong to a group or organization, give them a copy of Rosalind's column cited above and get things rolling. (You can copy & paste it to your word processor and print it out which saves lots of space.) We have to take this to the streets and get up close and in their faces or we will continue to be ignored and poisoned. Attend town hall meetings for both your state reps and senators and members of Congress. Just go to their web sites and find out their speaking schedules or call their offices. It doesn't take a lot of money to do this, just manpower. Hand out a copy of Rosalind's column at the town hall meetings and then make sure you bring it up during the public question session.

There's no question banker Barbi Boxer is a parasite on the body politic, but, she's not blind. If 10,000 people show up in front of her office good and angry, she will get the message. Since these arrogant, pompous public servants continue to ignore letters and e-mails on this issue, it's time to take to the streets and make them pay attention. While I hope we don't have any government plants show up who will try to egg on Americans who are there peacefully, these events are usually peppered with feds who have nothing better to do than harass Americans, so just ignore them. They are flunkies who can't get a real job in the private sector.

We Must Defeat: - U.S. House Bill 2995 - and - U.S. Senate Bill 517
