He Says No Threat Exists, Then Tries to Block the Sun

Gates Tones Down the Scare Talk, Then Reaches for the Sky Controls

For years, Bill Gates pushed the idea that climate change ranks among the biggest challenges facing mankind. He wrote books about it and toured the world, urging nations to spend trillions on new energy systems. He stood with the crowd that warned of danger at every turn.

Then, without warning, he released a memo claiming that climate change won’t end humanity, calling for calm thinking and saying fear does more harm than good.

People who never bought into climate panic thought he had finally caught up with reality.

Afterwards, they watched him push the strangest idea yet: supporting research to dim the sun. Reports laid it out in detail, while describing his plan to scatter sunlight away from Earth.

What better way of describing a man who now downplays climate danger: funding a plan meant for a world on the verge of collapse.

Like Stephen Curry switching hands, it reads like someone who switched talking points without changing direction.

He Calms His Voice Yet Builds a Project Fit for Panic

“Stop panicking!” cries the man who panicked for years. He is claiming the world will adapt, while telling leaders to focus on fighting poverty and disease instead of chasing perfect temperature goals. A message that many people believe sounds reasonable.

Hidden behind that tone is an idea borrowed from a plot in a climate disaster movie. Solar geoengineering aims to weaken sunlight, an idea Gates has backed for nearly 20 years through scientists who want to spray particles into the sky to reflect the light. Gates supports research that many climate activists call reckless.

A strange picture emerges from his pivot: he’s telling people to relax while he pays for a project built for a world on fire.

As his words drift one way, while his money drifts the other, what path do you think people will follow?

Earth Needs Steady Light More Than It Needs Tech Experiments

Plants don’t vote, trees don’t care about debates, and algae in the ocean don’t follow climate politics. There’s one significant thing they share: they all need sunlight.

Algae alone produce a large share of the oxygen we breathe. That tiny life floating near the surface depends on a stable source of light to survive. Shade the planet, and algae shut down, breaking food chains, changing fish stocks, and sliding the weather balance out of whack. Heck, even a slight drop in sunlight worsens harvests, shifts rainfall, and hurts the poorest regions first.

Gates fixes software issues with updates, solving them in days, while mistakes with sunlight can last for generations, if we’re lucky.

His plan treats the Sun like a variable light switch he can dial back when he feels like it.

Chemtrails: Conspiracy Fact

“The greatest, most damaging form of human activity on the planet at this moment in time must be considered these operations: climate engineering.”

If you caught Tucker Carlson’s November 10 show, you heard Dane Wigington issue this warning without hyperbole.

Wigington is a solar energy contractor who founded GeoEngineering Watch after noticing a significant decline in solar energy uptake of photovoltaic cells near his home in California. Having researched the phenomenon for nearly three decades, he believes it stems from “solar obscuration” caused by large-scale weather manipulation by our government.

Popularly known as “chemtrails” or “contrails,” these white streaks across the sky, left by aircraft, are familiar to most Americans these days. Fact-checkers are quick to dismiss chemtrails as conspiracy theory and label Wigington and his ilk as charlatans scamming people with fear and misinformation. After all, who would ever believe mankind could manipulate weather?

Documented History

Such naysayers obviously never heard of Operation Popeye, a U.S. military weather-modification program that used cloud seeding to increase rainfall during the Vietnam War between 1967 and 1972.

U.S. President Lyndon Johnson had bragged about government’s geoengineering plans in a 1962 address at Southwest Texas State University. Speaking first of satellite telecommunication technology, he revealed that “it lays the predicate and foundation for the development of a weather satellite that will permit man to determine the world’s cloud layer and ultimately to control the weather.” The purpose of this invention he revealed in his next breath: “He who controls weather will control the world.”

Fast-forward 50 years to 2011, when then-Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad accused Western governments of stealing rain. “European countries are using special equipment to force clouds to dump” water on them, with little left for drought-plagued nations like his own. Western media scoffed, and they ridiculed and trashed the story.

They’ve treated U.S. Air Force whistleblower Kristen Meghan with equal disdain. She served as a bioenvironmental engineer for nine years and made it a personal mission to debunk “chemtrails.” What she found was that the technology was “actually coming right out of my office.” Last year she told a reporter with kla.tv: “There are multiple forms of weather modification…. They’re saying it’s combating climate change. Well, the climate change we need to be worried about is man-made climate engineering, also known as geoengineering.”

U.S. Government Confirmation

Indeed, visit the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) website, and you’ll read that the Weather Modification Reporting Act of 1972 mandates that “all persons intending to engage in weather modification activities in the United States are required to provide a report to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) at least 10 days prior to undertaking the activity.”

NOAA, in turn, claims that “cloud seeding is the only common weather modification activity currently practiced in the United States.”

The only common activity? So, it’s not the only one.

Geoengineering Is No Longer Just A Theory

Most people check the weather the way they check traffic or the time. Rain might mean rearranging plans or canceling a child’s T-ball game. A cold snap might simply mean pulling out a sweater or your favorite tweed jacket. Weather, for most people, is an inconvenience or a conversation starter. Because when you need water, you turn on a faucet. When you’re cold or hot, you adjust the thermostat. Weather becomes background noise rather than a force that shapes survival.

For farmers, weather is everything.

We don’t just look at the forecast. We live by it. We watch humidity, wind patterns, soil temperature, and cloud formation with the kind of attention most people reserve for financial markets or national security briefings. A few degrees of difference can determine whether a crop thrives or dies. We wait for moisture the way some people wait for medical news. Because one wrong call can erase months of work.

Earlier this year, the temperatures had been in the high 90s for weeks. Summer seemed to arrive early, and the weather service confidently projected warm, stable nights in the 50s. Based on that forecast, we continued preparing the greenhouses and tending the spring crops. Everything looked promising.

Then one Monday morning in late April, we woke up to ice. Not frost. Ice.

Our greenhouses weren’t sealed, because the forecast told us we were safe. The propane heaters inside are set to turn on automatically at 38 degrees, and they ran full force all night. By sunrise, we had burned through $5,000 in propane, and everything was still dead. Every spring tomato. Every cucumber. Tender annuals. Guavas, lemons, and young tropicals. Outside the greenhouse, brand-new kale and broccoli seedlings that had finally established themselves were frozen limp and useless.

There was no warning. Just loss.

That is what it means when a farmer mentions the weather. He isn’t complaining. He is praying that a single cold snap, drought, hailstorm, or unpredictable shift doesn’t take away his livelihood. We do everything we can, but the weather still decides what survives.

Which is why the cultural conversation around climate and weather is so interesting. We’ve been quick for years to talk about climate change. And I’ve always said: If we’re going to talk about climate change, we also have to talk about geoengineering. Because at this stage, it’s hard to know where one ends and the other begins. It’s hard to know whether the shifts we’re experiencing are natural, human-caused, manipulated, or some combination of all three. It’s even fair to ask whether climate change exists in the exact framework we’ve been presented—or whether geoengineering exists in the exact framework we’ve been told—or whether the lines have been blurred without transparency.

This was once considered wild conspiracy, the kind of thing people joked about with tinfoil hat references. Yet now it’s discussed openly. Amazon Prime hosts documentaries about it. Universities conduct research on it. Weather modification companies operate publicly in multiple states. Government agencies acknowledge it.

Today here in Kerr County, after heavy flooding, a CEO of a weather modification company made a point to assure the public that his cloud seeding was not responsible for the rainfall. I’m not claiming it was. But when someone feels compelled to explain themselves for something everyone swore didn’t exist 10 years ago, the conversation has already changed.

And that leads to a reasonable and necessary question:

What is the ripple effect?

Iran begins cloud-seeding operations as severe drought bites

The Iranian authorities have launched cloud-seeding operations to induce rainfall as the country 

faces its worst drought in decades, state media reported.

“Today, a cloud-seeding flight was conducted in the Urmia Lake basin for the first time in the current water year (which begins in September),” the official Irna news agency said late on Nov 15.

Urmia, in the north-west, is Iran’s largest lake, but has largely dried out and turned into a vast salt bed due to drought.

Irna added that further operations would be carried out in the provinces of East and West Azerbaijan.

Cloud seeding involves spraying particles such as silver iodide and salt into clouds from aircraft to trigger rain.

In 2024, Iran announced it had developed its own technology for the practice.

US military accused of secret climate spraying operation dumping 60 million tons of toxic nanoparticles into the skies

The US military has been accused of spraying toxic chemicals into the air for decades as part of a secret program that has backfired in its goal of stopping global warming.

Dane Wigington, an environmental researcher for 30 years, claimed that the conspiracy surrounding ‘chemtrails’ is not only true but has actually crippled the Earth’s ability to naturally overcome the pollution caused by humans.

The ‘chemtrail’ conspiracy focuses on the idea that the government has been spraying a host of dangerous chemicals from commercial airliners for several reasons, including to control the weather and make people sick.

The vast majority of scientists and the US government have long declared this theory as false, and most condensation trails, or ‘contrails’, seen in the sky are the result of water vapor from aircraft exhaust freezing into ice crystals as it hits cold air at high altitudes.

However, Wigington said that lab tests on rain samples, photos of specialized planes carrying these chemicals, government documents, and whistleblower testimony all show clear evidence that a secret program has attempted to weaponize weather.

The researcher claimed that the US military has built a massive weather control program over the last years, with chemical spraying ramping up in the 1990s to block sunlight and cool the planet.

He estimated that airliners equipped with secret nozzles and tanks on their wings, filled with aluminum, barium, manganese, graphene, and various polymers, have dumped between 40 and 60 million tons of nanoparticles in the sky every year.

‘These programs are literally disabling the planet’s counterbalancing life support systems,’ Wigington said on the Tucker Carlson Show.

Musk: AI Satellites Would “Adjust” Sunlight to “Prevent Global Warming”

With Bill Gates retreating from his high-profile climate crusade, the stage has opened for more unconventional actors to step into the planetary arena. Enter Elon Musk, the chief executive of SpaceX and self-styled architect of humanity’s future in space.

This week, Musk floated an audacious vision: a vast swarm of orbiting satellites, not merely to beam internet or data, but to harvest solar energy and regulate how much sunlight reaches Earth. On Monday, he wrote on his platform X:

A large solar-powered AI satellite constellation would be able to prevent global warming by making tiny adjustments in how much solar energy reached Earth.

It is not an isolated musing. Musk already commands more than 8,000 satellites in orbit, making SpaceX the single largest operator in low Earth orbit. His company is also deeply integrated with the U.S. defense and intelligence establishment, providing secure communications and reconnaissance support. And as one of Donald Trump’s biggest donors and technology contractors, Musk stands at the intersection of private ambition and state power.

The announcement reignited debate over geoengineering — also known as solar radiation modification (SRM) — a highly controversial concept to cool the planet by deflecting sunlight. Many observers, weary of climate-doomsday narratives and wary of billionaire “saviors,” have urged Musk to refrain from “playing God.”

The Technical Blueprint

Musk’s posts were brief, but behind them lie two vast engineering ambitions — one focused on solar power, the other on climate control. To most readers, it may sound like science fiction, yet the ideas are grounded in real, if speculative, physics.

Satellites to Capture the Sun

The first part of Musk’s plan involves satellites that would collect solar energy directly in space. He mentioned harnessing 100 gigawatts per year through an array of orbiting satellites launched by SpaceX’s upcoming Starship rocket. For perspective, one gigawatt equals the output of a large nuclear power plant.

Space-based solar power isn’t new, but it has never advanced beyond early experiments. The principle is simple: Sunlight in space is stronger because it’s unfiltered by Earth’s atmosphere. In orbit, solar panels could generate power 24 hours a day, unaffected by clouds or night.

The challenge is transmitting that energy back to Earth. Musk’s vision likely involves converting solar power into microwave or laser beams, then directing them to ground-based receivers. In theory, it could supply clean electricity to power grids or floating data centers. In practice, it would require precise targeting and vast safety controls to prevent energy loss or harm.

Musk also hinted at an even grander future — moon-based factories building AI satellites directly on the lunar surface. At that scale, he suggested, new satellites could generate hundreds of terawatts of power. That would surpass humanity’s current total energy use of about 17-20 terawatts.

Israeli-U.S. Geoengineering Company ‘Stardust’ to Begin Blocking the Sun with Airborne Chemicals ‘As Soon as April’

Israeli-U.S. geoengineering company Stardust Solutions has announced a $60 million fundraising round for its efforts to block the sun by spraying particles into the atmosphere.

Stardust says they have created a powder that they promise “wouldn’t accumulate in humans or ecosystems, and can’t harm the ozone layer or create acid rain like the sulfur-rich particles from volcanoes.”

But it refuses to disclose what the particles are actually made of, rendering those promises meaningless without transparency, independent verification, or the public’s informed consent.

The startup will use the money to begin “controlled outdoor experiments” as soon as April, according to a POLITICO report that broke the news. “Those tests would release the company’s reflective particles inside a modified plane flying about 11 miles (18 kilometers) above sea level.”

Such technology is “thinly researched and mostly unregulated,” POLITICO notes.

It could even “disrupt global weather patterns and trigger geopolitical conflict.”

The investors were reportedly just “putting their trust in the concept,” instead of demanding proof that tampering in such a significant and dangerous way with sunlight won’t unleash irreversible atmospheric or geopolitical fallout.

More than 590 climate scientists and governance scholars now support a worldwide moratorium on such experiments involving the sun, and have called for an ‘International Non-Use Agreement on Solar Geoengineering.’

Nevertheless, Stardust has now raised a total of $75 million for its sun-blocking scheme.

RFK Jr. Explains EXACTLY How They’re Doing The Chemtrails and Why No “Huge Conspiracy” Is Necessary

I’ve been talking about chemtrails on this website for 10+ years….

And each time I do, there’s always a small but very vocal group of people who have extremely strong cognitive dissonance reactions.

They get very angry with me, because their brain can’t quite process the fact that they’ve (1) been lied to for decades, and (2) are being actively poisoned by their Government.

I get it, that’s a very tough red pill to swallow.

But I’ve been right all along, and I want you to notice something: RFK Jr. was just asked about chemtrails AGAIN yesterday on Dr. Phil’s show, and I want you to notice what he says in response….

He doesn’t say “oh that’s not real” or “that’s just a conspiracy” or “I really don’t have any information on that.”

Nope.

None of that.

Instead, he confirms flat out that they’re real and then he says he believes DARPA is doing the spraying.

He also says he’s bringing on someone whose entire job will only be to investigate this and shut it down.

So to all the people who think this is just a huge conspiracy theory and you’re going to go down in the comments section and type “bUt NOah theSE aRe just CONtrails not chEmtrails” derpy derpy derp….you’re going to have to content with RFK Jr. who does not agree with you.

Experts Urge Government Ban On Solar Geoengineering

The United States should lead an international effort to prohibit the use of solar geoengineering, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, Roger Pielke Jr., told members of Congress on Sept. 16.

Pielke testified before the House Oversight and Government Reform Subcommittee on Delivering Government Efficiency during a hearing on weather manipulation, specifically cloud-seeding and geoengineering.

While geoengineering is a broad category that covers processes to intentionally cool the Earth’s temperature—which could even include painting buildings a certain way—the subset known as solar geoengineering or solar radiation modification drew Pielke’s concern.

Those modification techniques involve the dispensing of reflective elements such as sulfur dioxide into layers of the atmosphere to prevent the sun’s rays from reaching the Earth’s surface.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), there is limited understanding of these techniques, which could have an effect on the ozone layer, crop yields, rain, snowfall, and even respiratory health.

Described as an expert in climate, science, and technology policy—as well as the politicization of science and government science advice—Pielke was one of more than 500 scientists and academics from around the world calling for an international non-use agreement for solar geoengineering.

He argued that no outdoor experimentation of solar geoengineering should be allowed and that governments should work to monitor the atmosphere to track and enforce that ban.

“We have one Earth, and experimenting on it carries considerable risks,” he said in his opening remarks. “I have likened geoengineering to risky gain-of-function research on viruses with uncertain benefits and catastrophic risks.”

Pielke was joined by Christopher Martz, a meteorologist and policy analyst at the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow, who also saw a need for prohibition.

“Solar geoengineering should be prohibited, given the uncertainties about climate change itself, as well as the uncertainties that geoengineering could have on both the environment and life on Earth,” Martz said in his opening statement.

GOP-led DOGE panel warns of risks of weather manipulation

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene sounded the alarm Tuesday on weather-tampering efforts aimed at counteracting climate change and promoting rainfall, warning the left wants to take away Americans’ “God-given rights over the Earth in order to satisfy their godless climate cult beliefs.”

“No one wants to be a lab rat,” she said.

Chairing a DOGE subcommittee hearing called “Playing God with the Weather – a Disastrous Forecast,” Ms. Greene said concerns over attempts to change the climate — including solar geo-engineering that seeks to cool the Earth by reflecting sunlight and cloud-seeding to increase rainfall — reach far beyond the conspiratorial corners of the internet.

“What this whole debate comes down to is, who controls the skies?” said Mr. Greene, Georgia Republican. “Do we believe in God and that he has dominion over his perfect creation of planet Earth?

“Do we believe that he has given us everything we need to survive as a civilization since the beginning of time?” she said. “Or do you believe in man’s claim of authority over the weather, based on scientists that have only been alive for decades and weren’t here to witness the climate changes since the beginning of time?”

Democrats accused Republicans of exaggerating their concerns, and said more research needed to be done.

They also criticized President Trump and Republicans for pulling out of international climate-change negotiations and slashing funding for the Environmental Protection Agency.

“The purpose of the EPA, literally, this is why the EPA exists, is to regulate, study and understand how modifications to the environment impact human health and the environment,” said New Mexico Rep. Melanie Stansbury, the ranking Democrat on the subcommittee.

For years, the furor over weather manipulation efforts was chalked up mainly to conspiracy theorists who pointed to airplane “chemtrails” and other phenomena as proof the government or shady groups were releasing dangerous chemicals for nefarious reasons, including to manipulate the weather, the population, and even people’s minds.

The subject area largely flew under the radar before Mr. Trump and Republicans took back control of Washington.

EPA Secretary Lee Zeldin this year said it was time to address Americans’ urgent and vital questions about geo-engineering and condensation trails.
