Philosophy Wire: Sahara. Let it dry.

Wind and solar farms are known to have local effects on heat, humidity and other factors that may be beneficial - or detrimental - to the regions in which they are situated. A new climate-modeling study finds that a massive wind and solar installation in the Sahara Desert and neighboring Sahel would increase local temperature, precipitation and vegetation. Overall, the researchers report, the effects would likely benefit the region. [1] People trying to control things. Because they are more afraid to control the most difficult thing: Themselves. People trying to “do something”. Because they are too afraid to do the most important thing: Accept things. Men walking through the desert. It used to be a green valley, but not anymore. They do not care. They smell the hot air. They love their life. And they feel cool under the blistering sun…

Philosophy Wire: Humans. Geomechanics. Gods.

Philosophy Wire by Spiros Kakos [2015-01-06]: Scientists prepare geoengineering experiments so as to alter the atmosphere to reflect more of the sun's rays back into space, or to change clouds so that they let more of Earth's heat out instead of trapping it. [1] So immature that they understand nothing. So arrogant that they want to change everything. Humans. Accept your ignorance. Let the universe flow. Be a God.

Geo-engineering.

Scientists agree that geo-engineering is legal. [source]

Weather modification (including cloud seeding) was discussed from the 40’s [see declassified meeting notes of US Senate hearing at 1974 and here].

Patents for cloud seeding have been filed from this time. [Powder contrail generation]

Geo-engineering and weather modification today is part of the university research, part of private research, part of scientific research in general, part of state sponsored research, part of politics in the US, target of "philanthropy" (!) or part of military planning (see "Weather as a Force Multiplier: Owning the Weather in 2025" or here).

Taking all that into account, why should we even care if the chemtrails “conspiracy” theory is correct? [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]

After all, there is a specific US bill which prohibits such non-existent things… [source]

We want to control everything. Even the things which cannot be controlled. The chaos inside our mind has this crazy idea that it can impose order in the chaos outside of it. We cannot lash the sea.

The storm is right here. All we have to do is accept it and get wet.

Oh, how much we like to see the other way. How much do we really like to keep looking at a cloud taking “shapes”, while the storm keeps coming towards us from behind…

PS. Or could it be that everything have to do with money and weather derivatives? [8, 9]
