• The project will see a test balloon launch this summer from the town of Kiruna
• It will send 2kg of chalk into the stratosphere 12 miles above the Earth’s surface
• Scientists will then monitor who the dust particles interact with the atmosphere
• This will be fed into computer models to predict how a larger plume would work
• The idea is to ‘block out’ some of the sun’s energy to cool down the Earth 

The first test of a project backed to spray millions of tonnes of chalk into the stratosphere, in an attempt to ‘dim the sun’ and cool the Earth, could happen in June.

Harvard University experts will test the system by sending a large balloon 12 miles above the Swedish town of Kiruna and have it drop 2kg of chalk dust into the stratosphere.

The aim of the estimated $3 million mission, backed by billionaire Bill Gates, is to have the chalk deflect a portion of the sun’s radiation, stop it from hitting the surface, and cool the planet.

The idea has been heavily criticised since its inception, with project director Frank Keutsch even calling the need for this scale of geo-engineering ‘terrifying’.

And experts have warned that the unusual technique could be disastrous for weather systems in ways nobody can predict.

Backed by a range of private donors including Gates, the test mission is launching from Sweden as they could offer a launch by the end of this summer.

First there was the advent of fake news; then they introduced us to fake science. And truth be told, there was so much fake science thrown in our faces in 2019 that this article would be excessively long were we to recap all of it. So instead, here are the 10 most outlandish fake science stories of 2019 that would have made us chuckle were they not so pathetic and ridiculous:

Elizabeth Holmes’ ‘Theranos’ fraud was actually a plot to surveil the blood and DNA of everyone

Before it crashed and burned, Theranos, created by Elizabeth Holmes, was seen as a budding technology startup that had the ability to “miniaturize” and simplify the standard blood testing procedure. But there was just one problem: The whole thing was a scam and a hoax designed to steal people’s DNA for massive profits.

Global warming a total ‘hoax and scam’ run by corrupt scientists, warns Greenpeace co-founder

You know what else is a scam and a hoax? Global warming and the idea that human activity is in any way responsible for so-called climate change. Greenpeace Canada co-founder Patrick Moore fessed up this past year to the inherent fakeness of global warming, and how the Cult of Climate Change isn’t interested in saving the planet, but is rather concerned with stealing people’s money in the name of “climate activism.”

Sea level data ALTERED by scientists to create false impression of rising oceans

By the way, ocean levels also aren’t rising, either, as is popularly claimed. Reports that came out this past year revealed that historical data is constantly being “adjusted” to reflect the prevailing climate narrative rather than what’s actually happening all around the world, which is a whole lot of nothing when it comes to the supposedly changing sea levels.

Study confirms that man-made climate change is completely fake (so much for consensus…)

Researchers out of Finland likewise found this past year that global temperature data is actively manipulated to make it seem like everything is warming due to humans. The truth is that planetary temperatures have been fluctuating, as they always do, for a variety of reasons, and human activity contributes only a fraction of a fraction of a percent to these changes – meaning human activity is basically inconsequential in the greater scheme of things.

FAKE SCIENCE: Heat ‘records’ heavily manipulated by dishonest climate change propagandists to try to push global warming lie

Questions have also arisen as to the accuracy of this heat data in the first place, as what’s being reported by groups like NASA and NOAA conflict with data compiled over the past 140 years. As it turns out, the earth isn’t actually on an overall warming trajectory, and merely undergoes periods of heating and cooling, much like a stove burner that turns on and off to achieve a certain temperature average.

President Trump was correct to withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement. He could have explained that the science was premeditated and deliberately orchestrated to demonize CO2 for a political agenda. Wisely, he simply explained that it was a bad deal for the United States because it gave a competitive economic edge to other nations, especially China. A majority of Americans think he was wrong, but more would disagree if he got lost in the complexities of the science. I speak from experience having taught a Science credit course for 25 years for the student population that mirrors society with 80 percent of them being Arts students. Promoters of what is called anthropogenic global warming (AGW) knew most people do not understand the science and exploited it.

The plants need more atmospheric CO2 not less. Current levels of 400 parts per million (ppm) are close to the lowest levels in 600 million years. This contradicts what the world was told by people using the claim that human production of  CO2 was causing global warming. They don’t know the UN agency, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), established to examine human-caused global warming, were limited to only studying human causes by the definition they were given by Article 1 of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). It is impossible to identify the human cause without understanding and including natural causes. Few know that CO2 is only 4 percent of the total greenhouse gases. They assume that a CO2 increase causes a temperature increase. It doesn’t, in every record the temperature increases before CO2. The only place where a CO2 increase causes a temperature increase is in the computer models of the IPCC. This partly explains why every single temperature forecast (they call them projections) the IPCC made since 1990 was wrong. If your forecast is wrong, your science is wrong.

I studied weather as aircrew with the Canadian Air Force, including five years of search and rescue in Arctic Canada. After the Air Force, I went to university to study weather and climate, culminating in a Ph.D., in Historical Climatology from the University of London, England. When I began in the late 1960s global cooling was the consensus. I was as opposed to the prediction that it would continue cooling to a mini-Ice Age, as I later was to the runaway AGW claim. I knew from creating and studying long-term records that climate changes all the time and are larger and more frequent than most know. I also knew changes in CO2 were not the cause.

The Club of Rome (COR), formed in 1968, decided that the world was overpopulated and expanded the Malthusian idea that the population would outgrow the food supply to all resources, especially the developed nations. COR member Maurice Strong told Elaine Dewar in her book Cloak of Green that the problem for the planet were the industrialized nations and it was everybody’s duty to shut them down. Dewar asked Strong if he planned to seek political office. He effectively said you cannot do anything as a politician, so he was going to the UN because:

He could raise his own money from whomever he liked, appoint anyone he wanted, control the agenda.

After five days with him at the UN she concluded:

Strong was using the U.N. as a platform to sell a global environment crisis and the Global Governance Agenda.

He created the crisis that the by-product of industry was causing global warming. Even Obama claimed that 97 percent of scientists agree. If he checked the source of the information, he would find the research was completely concocted. It is more likely that 97 percent of scientists never read the IPCC Reports. Those who do express their concern in very blunt terms. Consider German meteorologist and physicist Klaus-Eckart Puls experience.

“Ten years ago, I simply parroted what the IPCC told us. One day I started checking the facts and data – first I started with a sense of doubt but then I became outraged when I discovered that much of what the IPCC and the media were telling us was sheer nonsense and was not even supported by any scientific facts and measurements. To this day, I still feel shame that as a scientist I made presentations of their science without first checking it.”

He discovered what I exposed publicly for years. My challenge to the government version of global warming became increasingly problematic. They couldn’t say I wasn’t qualified. Attacks include death threats, false information about my qualifications posted on the Internet, and three lawsuits from IPCC members. Most people can’t believe that such things occur about opinions in a democratic society. Test the idea by telling people that you don’t accept the human-caused global warming idea. The reaction from most, who know nothing about the science, will invariably be dismissive at best.

I documented what went on in a detailed, fully referenced, book titled The Deliberate Corruption of Climate Science. A lawyer commented that it lays out and effectively supports the case, however, it was “a tough slog.” I recently published a brief ‘non-slog’ handbook (100 pages) for the majority of people, not to insult their intelligence, but to help them understand the science and its misuse for a political agenda.  Titled, Human Caused Global Warming: The Biggest Deception in History. Presented in the logical form of a criminal or journalistic investigation it answers the basic questions, Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How.

While thousands marched past the White House with hundreds waving communist flags, the media ignored it. The Hill and other media outlets praised the march but didn’t bother to mention the red flags. They had an entire story around “nine clever signs from the climate march” but never noticed the communists.

The NY Times said these leftist clowns were “alarmed by Trump’s environmental agenda”. Fox said “tens of thousands protest Trump’s climate policies”.

They are indeed loons.

The Climate March today was a communist march which isn’t a surprise to many of us. The extremists in the movement want control of the populace, in part, to destroy Capitalism and to promote cultural Marxism.
