Researchers quietly planned a test to dim sunlight. They wanted to ‘avoid scaring’ the public.

A team of researchers in California drew notoriety last year with an aborted experiment on a retired aircraft carrier that sought to test a machine for creating clouds.  

But behind the scenes, they were planning a much larger and potentially riskier study of salt-water-spraying equipment that could eventually be used to dim the sun’s rays — a multimillion-dollar project aimed at producing clouds over a stretch of ocean larger than Puerto Rico.

The details outlined in funding requests, emails, texts and other records obtained by POLITICO’s E&E News raise new questions about a secretive billionaire-backed initiative that oversaw last year’s brief solar geoengineering experiment on the San Francisco Bay.

They also offer a rare glimpse into the vast scope of research aimed at finding ways to counter the Earth’s warming, work that has often occurred outside public view. Such research is drawing increased interest at a time when efforts to address the root cause of climate change — burning fossil fuels — are facing setbacks in the U.S. and Europe. But the notion of human tinkering with the weather and climate has drawn a political backlash and generated conspiracy theories, adding to the challenges of mounting even small-scale tests.

Last year’s experiment, led by the University of Washington and intended to run for months, lasted about 20 minutes before being shut down by Alameda city officials who objected that nobody had told them about it beforehand.

That initial test was only meant to be a prequel. Even before it began, the researchers were talking with donors and consultants about conducting a 3,900-square-mile cloud-creation test off the west coasts of North America, Chile or south-central Africa, according to more than 400 internal documents obtained by E&E News through an open records request to the University of Washington. 

“At such scales, meaningful changes in clouds will be readily detectable from space,” said a 2023 research plan from the university’s Marine Cloud Brightening Program. The massive experiment would have been contingent upon the successful completion of the thwarted pilot test on the carrier deck in Alameda, according to the plan. The records offer no indication of whether the researchers or their billionaire backers have since abandoned the larger project.

EPA confirms existence of GEOENGINEERING programs, validating long-held public concerns

  • The U.S. EPA officially confirmed the existence of government-backed geoengineering programs, reversing years of denial. Administrator Lee Zeldin announced a transparency initiative detailing solar radiation modification (SRM) and its risks.
  • SRM involves injecting reflective particles (e.g., sulfur dioxide) to cool the planet, but the EPA warns it may harm the ozone layer, disrupt weather, damage crops and cause acid rain. Neurological risks, like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, are also linked to nano-aluminum particles from atmospheric spraying.
  • The EPA admitted tracking private actors engaged in geoengineering, suggesting undisclosed corporate or international programs. Weather modification techniques like cloud seeding (using silver iodide) were also confirmed.
  • The disclosure sparked debate, with some lawmakers pushing for bans while critics dismissed extreme weather links. Skeptics argue the move distracts from broader climate policy failures, blurring lines between fact and conspiracy theories.
  • The admission raises concerns about undisclosed programs and long-term consequences. While the EPA denies large-scale SRM operations, public distrust persists, leaving citizens to navigate potential health and environmental risks. The era of denial has ended, but the full impact remains uncertain.

In a dramatic shift, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has officially acknowledged the existence of government-backed geoengineering programs – a revelation that confirms what skeptics and concerned citizens have alleged for decades.

On Thursday, July 16, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced the agency’s new transparency initiative. The agency published detailed resources on geoengineering and contrails while admitting the potential dangers of such programs. The EPA’s admission marks a stunning reversal from years of official denial and ridicule directed at those who questioned the unnatural patterns in the skies above them.

For years, Americans who pointed to persistent white trails crisscrossing the atmosphere were dismissed as conspiracy theorists. Now, the EPA has conceded that geoengineering – specifically solar radiation modification (SRM) – is not only real, but poses serious environmental and health risks.

EPA admits geoengineering programs exist: Government finally confirms what “conspiracy theorists” knew all along

In a stunning reversal that validates decades of public concern, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin has officially confirmed what millions of Americans have been reporting with their own eyes – geoengineering programs are real, active, and potentially dangerous.

For years, anyone questioning the persistent white trails crisscrossing our skies was dismissed as a “conspiracy theorist.”  Not anymore.  The EPA just dropped a transparency bomb that changes everything.

Federal agency admits to “significant reservations” about sky spraying programs

In an unprecedented move, the EPA released comprehensive online resources addressing two explosive topics the agency has avoided for decades: geoengineering and contrails.  Administrator Zeldin’s statement should send chills down every spine:

“EPA shares the significant reservations many Americans have when it comes to geoengineering activities.”

Translation: The government is worried about its own programs.

The toxic truth about solar geoengineering exposed

The EPA’s new resources reveal the terrifying scope of solar geoengineering activities – programs designed to cool Earth by reflecting sunlight back to space through injecting gases like sulfur dioxide into the upper atmosphere, where they form reflective particles.

Sound familiar?  This is exactly what concerned citizens have been documenting and reporting for years, only to be ridiculed by mainstream media and dismissed by officials.

The EPA now admits these programs could cause:

  • Ozone layer depletion – destroying Earth’s natural radiation shield
  • Crop damage – threatening global food security
  • Weather pattern disruption – creating unpredictable climate chaos
  • Acid rain formation – poisoning water supplies and ecosystems

Decades of denial finally crumble

The agency’s admission represents a seismic shift from decades of official denial.  The EPA’s new webpage “addresses head-on various claims” about the intentional release of dangerous chemicals or biological agents at high altitudes.

While debunking some theories, they’re simultaneously confirming that geoengineering programs do exist and pose serious environmental and health risks.

Dr. Russell Blaylock, retired neurosurgeon, has been warning about this exact scenario for decades.  His research shows that nano-aluminum particles from atmospheric spraying programs bypass natural barriers and travel directly into brain tissue, potentially triggering Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.

EPA’s Lee Zeldin publishes facts page debunking claims that ‘chemtrails’ alter weather

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin rolled out a new facts page Thursday debunking wild claims — including from his fellow Republicans — that so-called “chemtrails” are being sprayed from aircraft to change the weather, alter populations or even control people’s minds.

In a video message accompanying the launch, Zeldin said the new webpages were written to inform “anyone who’s ever looked up to the streaks in the sky and asked, ‘What the heck is going on?’”

“We did the legwork, looked at the science, consulted agency experts, and pulled in relevant outside information to put these online resources together,” he added.

“Everything we know about contrails to solar geoengineering will be in there.”

The EPA website explains how condensation trails, or “contrails,” are common exhaust clouds left behind by high-altitude aircraft and visible to Americans gazing up at the sky “for the same reason that you can see the exhaust from your vehicle or your own breath on a cold day.”

EPA Promises ‘Total Transparency On The Issues Of Geoengineering And Contrails’

As this Substack has been exposing for many years, geoengineering is an all too real weather warfare program, with the government owning the following patents (just like they own patents for the Modified nRMA slow kill bioweapon C19 “vaccines”):

  • US3613992A – Weather Modification by Artificial Satellites (1971): Method for modifying wether using satellites.
  • US3564253A – Artificial Ion Cloud Method and Apparatus (1971): For creating artificial ion clouds to alter atmospheric conditions.
  • US4686605A – Method and Apparatus for Altering a Region in the Earth’s Atmosphere (1987): This patent, linked to HAARP, describes a system for altering the ionosphere.
  • US20060201547A1 – Hurricane and Tornado Control Device (2006): A method of disrupting or controlling the energy of hurricanes and tornadoes.
  • US2007012532A1 – System and Method for Wind and Water Alteration (2007): Used to control atmospheric conditions, specifically rain and wind.

And if weather warfare geoengineering were such a crazy conspiracy theory, then why was NOAA tasked with monitoring weather manipulation projects under the Weather Modification Reporting Act of 1972?

And if weather warfare geoengineering were such a crazy conspiracy theory, then why did the U.S. sign on to the international treaty known as the Environmental Modification Convention (ENMOD) in 1977, which prohibits the military or any hostile force from deploying environmental modification methods, not limited to weather manipulation, in warfare?

The ENMOD Convention includes the following:

  • Article 1 prohibits the use of environmental modification techniques as a means of destruction, damage, or injury to any other State Party.
  • The Convention defines environmental modification techniques as deliberate manipulations of natural processes affecting the earth’s biota, lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, or outer space.
  • The treaty entered into force for the United States on January 17, 1980, after the ratification by the Senate.

Of course, ENMOD also leverages the whole “climate change” scam back when it was called Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW), except that now there is no warming on average, but we digress.

The War on Weather Modification Gains Momentum

The devastating floods in Texas over the July 4th weekend, which claimed 109 lives, including 27 girls at a summer camp, and left 180 people missing (at the time of writing), have once again sparked a heated debate on weather modification. Well-founded questions about cloud seeding causing heavy rainfall that led to the floods are dismissed by the experts featured in mainstream media. They acknowledge that a company performed cloud seeding nearby on July 2, but expect people to accept at face value its CEO’s statement that it did not “contribute to the floods that occurred over the region.”

Answers to those questions are unlikely to come soon (if at all) because the mainstream media is driven by a fanciful narrative written by globalist elites and supported by their leftist woke followers. They want us to believe that climate change is real and that ordinary people must be willing to give up their freedom for the greater good of the earth, while weather modification, which has been practiced for many decades, has no negative effects. There is hope, however, because many scientists are rebutting this insidious lie, and many states are legislating to ban weather modification and punish those who carry out such procedures with imprisonment and heavy fines. But before we get into that, a brief look at the history of weather modification and how it has been weaponized for both war and peace.

Weather modification began with rainmaking. In 1946, two scientists at General Electric Research Laboratories (GE) in upstate New York—Nobel laureate Irving Langmuir and his assistant Vincent Schaefer—discovered the principles of cloud seeding. They found that dropping dry ice into a cloud causes water droplets to turn into ice crystals that grow and induce rainfall. Their first demonstration was striking: Schaefer dropped six pounds of dry ice into a cloud from a plane at 4,600 meters, resulting in artificial snowfall on Mt. Greylock, the highest point in Massachusetts.

Later, their colleague Bernard Vonnegut developed a method of seeding using silver iodide crystals, for which he received a 1947 patent. Since then, cloud seeding has been used to increase rainfall, reduce hailstone size, disperse fog, and disrupt enemy troops. Results have been mixed—there are no success stories of cloud seeding turning deserts into lush, green fields, though simple, steady drip irrigation has accomplished that. However, the unwarranted enthusiasm for seeding persists.

Peter Kirby, a researcher and author of Chemtrails Exposed: A New Manhattan Project, says that cloud seeding marked the start of the weaponization of the environment. He claims that over a trillion dollars have been spent, hundreds of papers written, and thousands of studies published on weather modification, and yet the public remains unaware of the harm being done.

Cloud seeding is well known. But newer methods—such as geoengineering, aerosol injection into the stratosphere, management of solar radiation, and chemtrails—are not. Whenever these topics come up, experts tell people that such methods either don’t exist or aren’t being used. Suspicions or questions born out of fear or concern are dismissed as “conspiracy theories” or “bad science” in the mainstream media. Because of this, when ordinary people read about them, they tend not to think much of it. However, Kirby explains these topics in detail, offering plausible techniques and scenarios of CIA-controlled weather weaponization. He claims that such activities have blocked sunlight, reduced food production, and discusses how adding toxic materials to the atmosphere could be used as a military tool.

Cloud Seeding Company Accused Of Causing Texas Floods

Despite the fact that conspiracy theory after conspiracy theory has been proven to be fact and not fiction time and time again, the collective consciousness of society inevitably reaches a point where its psychological defense mechanisms kick in. When subjects too difficult to broach are reached, they’re dismissed as if they’re the apophenic delusions of a madman when in reality they’re often a truth too distressing to acknowledge. Often, association with a tragedy makes recognizing the epiphany that an official narrative is the real work of fiction, like in the cases of Sandy Hook or 9/11, an act of heresy. Then, independent inquiry meant to uncover the truth is treated as an act of violence instead of critical thinking.

This dynamic has reared its ugly head once again in the wake of massive floods across central Texas that have tragically led to the deaths of over 100, including 84 fatalities alone in Kerr County, where 28 children lost their lives after devastating flash flooding on the Fourth of July led to waters from the Guadalupe River rising over 26 feet in merely 45 minutes. The disaster has entered into the history books as one of the deadliest floods in Texas to take place in decades. The fatal turn of events led to a predictably politicized response where leftist media blamed everything from climate change to President Trump’s policy making. Despite that shameless exploitation of the tragedy, the liberal legacy media shied away from another factor behind what may have caused the floods that has remained unexamined despite having more empirical evidence behind its validity: weather modification.

For decades, weather modification has been a facet of technocratic operations led by governments and private industry alike that has been relegated under the dismissive label of being a conspiracy theory. Yet, in the case of the Texas floods, it has emerged as a clear factor behind the natural disaster. On July 2nd, just 2 days before the massive deluge, a cloud seeding company named Rainmaker finished its operations in Texas. Rainmakers operation was designed to modify the weather by inducing cloud formations to fend off droughts in high-risk areas throughout the state. In the wake of the tragedy, its cloud seeding operations have come into focus as being a potential cause of the devastating floods.

MTG to Introduce Bill Banning ‘Dangerous and Deadly Practice’ of Government Weather Modification

Conservative firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) says she’s introducing legislation seeking to ban the government spraying of aerosolized particulate matter into the atmosphere – covert operations conducted under the guise of geo-engineering, or weather modification research.

“I am introducing a bill that prohibits the injection, release, or dispersion of chemicals or substances into the atmosphere for the express purpose of altering weather, temperature, climate, or sunlight intensity. It will be a felony offense,” wrote Rep. Greene on X Saturday, adding she’d researched the bill with the legislative counsel for months and that it would be modeled off Florida’s Senate Bill 56, which punishes such activities and aircraft operators with fines and imprisonment.

“We must end the dangerous and deadly practice of weather modification and geo-engineering,” Rep. Greene added.

Rep. Greene’s bill comes as Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has suggested a federal probe into the government’s clandestine “chemtrail” program may be forthcoming.

In April, RFK told a Dr. Phil guest he believed the geo-engineering program may be headed up by DARPA, the Pentagon’s advanced research laboratory.

A woman named Emily asked, “…The stratospheric aerosol injections that are continuously peppered on us every day, bromium, aluminum, strontium, it’s sprayed in our skies all day long… How do we stop it?”

A Closer Look at ARIA: Britain’s Secretive £800 Million Sun-Dimming Quango

The UK’s Advanced Research and Invention Agency (ARIA), established in 2023 with an £800 million purse of taxpayer funds, received a burst of publicity last week when it was unveiled that the agency was planning to “dim the sun” to fight global warming. The agency approved £56.8 million to be spent on “climate cooling” projects which include looking into the logistics of building a ‘sunshade’ in space and injecting plumes of salt water into the sky to reflect sunlight away from Earth.

ARIA is the brainchild of Dominic Cummings, a prominent British political strategist who served as the chief adviser to UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson from 2019 to 2020. Cummings pitched a lean, “audacious” agency to fund high-stakes research in AI, quantum computing and synthetic biology, sidestepping the “timid bureaucracy” of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). In a research paper published in 2018 on his website, ‘On the ARPA/PARC “Dream Machine”, science funding, high performance and UK national strategy’, Cummings proposed a high-powered publicly-funded British research agency to emulate the US Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Xerox’s Palo Alto Research Centre (PARC).

The latter two entities inculcated high-risk, high-reward research with minimal bureaucracy and exemplified high-performance team performance, flexible work processes and visionary leadership. They yielded many innovations such as GPS, the internet, laser printing, the graphical user interface and the computer mouse, which resulted in large societal and economic returns.

National Weather Service on alert after conspiracy group threatens radar sites

The National Weather Service (NWS) is on heightened alert after recent threats from a militia-style group that believes the agency’s Doppler radar systems are being used as “weather weapons.”

Initial reports indicate the group, identified by CNN as Veterans on Patrol, has targeted radar facilities operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The group reportedly sent threats, calling the radar network a weapon and encouraging attacks on weather sites.

“They are the number one tool in our toolbox,” said Herb Simmons, director of St. Clair County Emergency Management.

Simmons emphasized the critical role Doppler radar plays in severe weather forecasting and emergency response. The NWS data reaches nearly 4 million people in the St. Louis region alone.

“Our storms seem to be coming more frequently. We are seeing more severe storms,” Simmons said. “One of the reasons we haven’t had the loss of life or injuries is because I think the National Weather Service is giving us the ability to warn people quicker.”

Threats and warnings

CNN reports that NOAA officials have received internal warnings about the group advocating for “penetration drills” to identify weaknesses at radar sites, with the goal of ultimately destroying them.

The Southern Poverty Law Center classifies Veterans on Patrol as an anti-government militia.

According to the SPLC website, “Veterans on Patrol (VOP) is an antigovernment militia located in Pima County, Arizona. The founder, Michael “Lewis Arthur” Meyer, is a Christian nationalist who rallies hard-right extremists and conspiracy theorists around the issue of immigration and encourages vigilantism.”

“Without their monitoring, without their prediction, it will create problems for these communities when storms decide to raise their ugly heads,” Simmons said.

When asked about the risks to meteorologists and the public, Simmons didn’t mince words.

“It’s someone trying to incite violence for some strange reason, and it would be terrible,” he said. “Hopefully, whoever it is either comes to their senses or is met with the swift arm of the law — because I’ll tell you, it could have bad consequences.”
