the U.S government recently announced plans to fund research on geoengineering they plan
on blocking out the sun with sunlight reflecting particles sprayed into the atmosphere to cool the
earth now while I was researching this I came across some other related stories like cloud
seeding the idea of making it artificially rain wherever you want and then down the rabbit hole
I went further until I got to the decades-old conspiracy theory of chemtrails so the U.S
admitting to Chemtrails is that what's going on here Lux figured this out together because
this research was some of the most fun I've had I'm Ricky in this Two Bit da Vinci [Music]
Hoy miles now this was the winning Topic in our last poll so be sure to subscribe and vote on
what we make next okay so what do we know so far last June 30th the White House released a report
titled congressionally mandated research plan and an initial research governance framework
related to solar radiation modification this report immediately made headlines since in
essence it's a mandate to explore solar and other rapid climate interventions to lower the Earth's
temperature in a matter of a few years now this sounds promising but we're talking about weather
intervention on a global scale through solar radiation modification or SRM this is one of
the main forms of geoengineering and it's got a lot of people in a panic now this type of
intervention could have potentially catastrophic consequences that we can't even begin to imagine
but more on that in just a little bit but why does this matter and what does it have to do
with the popular conspiracy theory from the 90s to understand that we need to dive into how srms work
the idea behind solar radiation modification is to make the upper atmosphere reflect more of the
sun's radiation into space instead of letting it penetrate the atmosphere and warm the Earth it's
the same principle behind adding a reflective coat on the rooftops of buildings to help keep
them cool so yeah the government basically wants to study ways to wrap the Earth in an equivalent
of aluminum foil to keep the heat out in theory and depending on the scale this could dramatically
reduce average global temperatures countering the effects of our greenhouse gas emissions
but how do they plan to pull this off the report mentions researching two key approaches to SRM
Marine Cloud brightening which aims to make clouds brighter by injecting sea salt particles into them
and two a technique called atmospheric aerosol injection which is a fancy way of saying spreading
aerosols into the upper atmosphere and that's where millions of people went I knew it we were
right about chemtrails and if you know what I'm talking about allow me to explain few conspiracy
theories have captured the public imagination as much as the Chemtrails Theory except maybe
the fake lunar Landing Theory but that's that video for another day the Chemtrails Theory
suggests that the long lasting Trails left behind by high altitude jets are actually chemicals or
biological agents deliberately sprayed by secret government or third-party agents for nefarious
purposes depending on who you ask these purposes are spraying chemicals from mind control some
people believe big pharmaceutical companies are purposely spraying toxic chemicals to help keep
us sick to buy more medicine others believe their fertility suppression drugs for population control
something like the plot of Dan Brown's novel Inferno but most believe that the massive covert
geoengineering experiment for weather control AKA secret SRM experimentation now I have to admit the
first time I heard about these Chemtrails I kind of brushed it off because I didn't really see much
validity to them but after reading the reports from the White House where they plan to block
up the Sun by spraying aerosol in the atmosphere I thought this might deserve a closer look the
first thing I learned is that almost one in five people 17 literally tens of millions of Americans
actually believe in Chemtrails that's when I really made up my mind to go down the rabbit
hole I mean if the statistics are right thousands of you watching this video right now I believe in
Chemtrails are some variation of the Chemtrails Theory so we gotta figure this out and give both
sides a fair shake after all powerful governments don't exactly have a clean track record and
they've done similar things in the past for example in 1950 the US Navy conducted Operation
Sea spray a biological warfare experiment in which they secretly sprayed two types of bacteria over
the San Francisco Bay area in California to see how vulnerable the city was to buy a weapon attack
the UK once did the same thing between 1940 and 1979 without telling the British public
either the question is are they doing it now now real quick before we get into that I got to tell
you some good news about my electric bill we finally have permission to turn on our solar
system and we used Hoy miles for our of micro inverters because they make top-notch super
efficient long-lasting micro inverters that take the DC from your solar panels and invert it to AC
for your house apart from being really efficient and high quality they're also incredible value
because they make two in one four in one and even six in one inverters which allow you to connect
multiple panels saving you money here's a look at our build before solar and after solar this is
June with solar and thanks to data from our smart panel and Hoy miles app here's how it breaks down
the Hoy miles app shows me that I produced 1.37 megawatt hours the house used 1140 so that means
my bill amazingly negative 230 kilowatt hours and June is notoriously cloudy here in San Diego for
July we're on track for 1800 kilowatt hours and by Saving about 700 a month that means we'll break
even in about three years I love hoi Mouse so far and they get the top recommendation from me check
out joy miles micro inverters using our links in the description huge thanks to homiles and you
for supporting the show okay let's step back and see where the conspiracies started the chemtrail
Theory started in the late 1990s after the U.S Air Force published a report on June 17 1996 titled
weather as a force multiplier owning the weather in 2025. this report followed a directive from
the chief of staff of the Air Force to examine the concept's capabilities and Technologies the United
States will require to remain the dominant air and space force in the future this is basically about
using the weather as a weapon something the US military had already tried before we'll get back
to that in a moment in addition several patents for weather control Technologies such as cloud
seeding and SRM popped up during that decade and most used airplanes as a delivery vehicle
it's safe to say that this probably got a lot of people looking up at the sky then people started
noticing that the condensation Trails left by airplanes were now more abundant often longer
and more persistent than usual someone somewhere put two and two together and speculated that
these airplanes were actually part of a covert atmospheric spraying operation and the theory
took off so are chemtrails real and if not what are those white Trails left behind by
airplanes those white lines you sometimes see behind jet airplanes are technically called
contrails which are short for condensation Trails they're basically long clouds made of well water
present in the turbines exhaust jet turbines are basically glorified internal combustion
engines that burn jet fuel as with all combustion reactions this produces water vapor and carbon
dioxide when that hot exhaust hits the atmosphere at cruising altitudes of 30 to 40 000 feet where
the air temperature is negative 40 degrees to negative 70 degrees Fahrenheit that water vapor
quickly condenses into a liquid and then freezes into tiny ice crystals if the conditions are just
right that's when we see a trail of condensed ice crystals or a contrail so doesn't mean the
Chemtrails are a hoax well not necessarily most chemtrail Believers know about contrails but
they argue that they're not the same thing the first argument a Believer will tell you is that
Chemtrails can linger several hours in the sky which is much longer than a typical Contour Trail
and that they sometimes spread out covering large swaths of the sky I did some research to find out
how long contrails last and found that they can also last for hours in the atmosphere just
like Cloud scan in fact satellites have observed clusters of contrails lasting as long as 14 hours
though most remain visible for four to six hours for example here's a satellite image of a series
of contrails taken near Canada at 1205 pm on May 26 2012. and here's the same photo two hours later
they're a bit more spread out but the contrails are definitely still there the second argument
is that we only started seeing these contrails recently in the 1990s but that's actually not true
since there are multiple photographs and video footage showing contrails during World War II
if people started noticing more contrails in the skies in the 90s it could be because of the
growing commercial airline industry for example a study found that increased air traffic was
responsible for a significant increase in cirrus clouds forming over the U.S between 1971 and 1995.
what that's telling you is that our thirst for air travel has already literally changed our weather
patterns around the world and around the country it truly is a case of a butterfly flaps of twins
in South America and a zombie gets diploma in South Korea what is the expression there are two
other pieces of evidence that are worth mentioning the first is that a group of researchers found a
new type of Highly toxic reactive and unexpectedly long-lived chemical compound called Hydro
trioxides in the upper atmosphere chemtrail Believers took this report as evidence that
someone was spraying toxins in the air but I read this study and found that these compounds actually
form naturally in the atmosphere and lasted just 20 minutes in the air now that's way longer lived
than chemists expected but it's still just 20 minutes if someone was spraying this stuff at 40
000 feet it would never reach the ground but there's another piece of evidence coming from
one of the strongest proponents of the chemtrail Theory a website called geoengineeringwatch.org
they recently published a two-hour documentary on geoengineering and chemtrails called the dimming
that I watch as part of the research for this video they lay out the entire case for a global
plot between governments worldwide agreeing to cool the planet off in secret by blocking out the
sun through SRM according to the documentary they plan to do this with tiny reflective particles of
Lumina and of course this recent report from the White House strengthens their case several
things about the documentary caught my attention one they showed white Trail switching on and off
intermittently which I frankly can't explain they claim it's the pilots turning the sprayer on and
off which I don't know but another thing they did was fly a plane through a series of alleged
Chemtrails took samples of the trail analyzed them and found alumina nanoparticles in the air
they did a second flight in another location with different equipment and found high concentrations
of very tiny nanoparticles in another series of contrails though they didn't say what those
particles were made of now the scientific Community said the results were inconclusive
because of bad sampling but that doesn't mean they're necessarily wrong this got me thinking
could there be other ways to explain the presence of these particles in the trails and I think there
is there are many natural sources of nanoparticles like volcano Ash dust clouds from Sahara and smoke
from forest fires like the ones coming from Canada many industrial processes also released
nanoparticles into the air one study found found that the aluminum surface treatment industry
produces nanoparticles at a concentration as high as 7 million particles per cubic centimeter
more than 10 times higher than what the guys at geoengineeringwatch.org found in the atmosphere
but more importantly jet engine exhaust is also loaded with different types of nanoparticles in
very small sizes so finding out of particles in a Jet's wake may not be that surprising so in the
context of the chemtrail Theory SRM techniques have attracted the most attention but weather
manipulation and cloud seating are also a big part of it many people claim that the high
frequency active Aurora research program AKA harp which is the world's most capable high power high
frequency transmitter can be used to control the weather Cloud sitting is a form of weather
modification invented in the 1940s by Vincent J Shafer the idea was originally tested in 1947 in
Project Cirrus when the US Military and Schaefer flew a plane into hurricane King trying to reduce
its impact on the East Coast cloud seeding works by shooting silver iodide into the clouds using
salt flares or by spraying them with dry ice or salt the idea is that these particles provide
a surface around which water droplets and small ice crystals can form and Clump together helping
them fall as rain it's like when you see small droplets of water on your windshield that don't
move but when two drops fuse together and make a larger drop that larger drop slides down your
windshield picking up more droplets as it goes along water seating has been used to increase
snowfall and ski resorts to reduce hail damage caused by thunderstorms and to reduce fog it has
also been used in some countries to increase the amount of water available for agriculture
but Cloud sitting has also been used as a weapon it was used in Vietnam in the 1960s making it the
first confirmed use of meteorological Warfare now it didn't really work at the time but it
outraged the International Community and in 1978 an international band was passed on meteorological
Warfare and many other weaponizations of the environment in the form of the conventions on
the prohibition of military and any other hostile use of environmental modification but in 1996 the
U.S Air Force report that triggered this entire chemtrail conspiracy theory proves that the U.S
never let go of the idea of using the weather as a weapon the international ban really gives strength
to the idea that the U.S would conduct these tests in secret cloud seeding has been institutionalized
in China since Mao zedong's rule where they employed more than 35 000 people throughout
the years to help seed clouds this has created a lot of tension between China and India where flash
floods and droughts are becoming more common some Indian government officials blame China's Cloud
sitting program for these atmospheric anomalies but it turns out that cloud seeding is also
common practice right here in the U.S there are several companies that employ Pilots with small
planes to see Target clouds on demand to increase rainfall in desired areas and can you guess who
pays for those missions the government not the federal government but counties this means there
really are government-sponsored airplanes brain chemicals like silver iodide over your property
and it's not just commercial jetliners as usual this proves that there is always some fact behind
most conspiracy theories however far-fetched they may seem one thing I found interesting about
these local cloud seating operations is that one pilot admitted that counties would often cancel a
mission if there was too much wind because they wanted the rain to fall on their County and not
the neighboring one this reminds us of the fact that the atmosphere doesn't have borders and what
you do in one place will undoubtedly impact the World At Large this brings me to the most
important part of this video engineering is all about fighting gradients to control the world
around us when we build a house we want the inside to be comfortable even as the outside might be too
hot or too cold but we need to learn to choose our fights carefully we have to be humble or nature
will come back to bite us whether you believe in Chemtrails or not the fact is that geoengineering
is a real field of study and it's a dangerous fun at that we're talking about intervening on
the weather at a global scale literally playing God and there's no way to know for sure what will
happen if if we do I mean come on we can't predict the weather two days from now as it
is do you really think we'll know the effects of massive large-scale cloud seeding or SRM projects
as an engineer I gotta say the answer is no there really isn't any way to know according to Robert
Merton's law of unintended consequences these effects can either be beneficial
negative or downright perverse an example of an unintended benefit would be aspirin which aside
from being a great painkiller also acts as an anticoagulant that can help prevent heart attacks
pretty helpful negative unintended consequences on the other hand are a dime a dozen for example
when Thomas Midgley Jr invented leaded gasoline and later free on gas little did he know that he
would unintentionally kill the most people anyone ever killed on Earth another more relevant example
of an unexpected drawback is that the seemingly harmless contrails left behind by Jets aren't
actually as harmless as they seem a study found that air traffic and contrails are responsible
for a significant increase in cirrus clouds over the U.S unintentionally reducing solar radiation
Over America this map from MIT shows the average contrail coverage in 2019 over the U.S and it
really shows how significant this effect can be and sometimes things don't just go wrong
they completely backfire for example there's a fascinating story from back when the British
colonized India their officers were getting stung by King Cobra snakes very common in India and so
they came up with a plan every Indian that brings us the corpse of a killed King Cobra would claim
claim a reward and so for a couple of years the king cobra population started to decline and the
British thought they were so clever but by the end of the decade there were more king cobras in
India than ever so what happened well the Indians started raising king cobras they'd incubate eggs
and raise them kill them and bring in for reward money this is one of those things where you can't
really fully understand the consequences of something until oftentimes it's too late and
in the case of srms it feels like a rather foolish approach it lacks a sense of first
principles thinking in my opinion the problem is we're burning stuff at an alarming rate and it
is starting to cause problems everywhere there are companies insurance companies pulling out
of Florida no longer willing to or able to offer home insurance for people living in Florida why
because the hurricanes are just becoming way too destructive and way too commonplace and this is
the most ridiculous Band-Aid I've ever heard it's one thing to do things on a small scale
but when you're talking about the weather you are making changes that affect people who never voted
for you who never agreed to it it's just playing God to a level that I'm just not really sure is
a good idea I'm a firm believer in the theory of unintended consequences I believe in some humility
I think we should understand what we don't know and accept that some of our consequences
can be pretty profound in a bad way and in this situation why block the sun why not put up more
solar panels go more and more solar the good news is it's kind of happening coal is kind of dead it
doesn't even really compete with wind and solar because they're just a vastly superior product
solar panels will last for 30 years making energy this entire house this entire building is entirely
solar powered now and batteries 100 Off Grid it's pretty cool but there's other things that
we can do that make more sense first principles thinking tells you always go to the source of a
problem don't start with any prerequisites or any other baggage that all designs used to have Start
From the Source we need to have a cleaner better way of handling the planet do less things make
less chemicals we don't know how they're going to last Teflon microplastics in the oceans it's
kind of becoming out of control and the chemical companies can be kind of scary all the things that
they're working on so what do you think hopefully if it's laid out kind of the story the different
rabbit holes we went into controlling the weather making it rain blocking the Sun
chemtrails actually kind of true that one I would not have believed before making this
video can't wait to hear what all of you guys think and until next week you
gotta check out this video next I'm Ricky tuber DaVinci thanks so much for watching
