WEATHER MODIFICATION BILL IN US CONGRESS *PIC*

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

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 (80 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.
