EPA Releases New Online Resources Giving Americans Total Transparency on the Issues of Geoengineering and Contrails

WASHINGTON - Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released new online resources to address public questions and concerns about two topics: geoengineering and contrails.

EPA created these new online resources to communicate everything the agency knows about the latest science, research and other information regarding contrails and geoengineering. EPA is committed to total transparency with the American public on these topics.

"Americans have legitimate questions about contrails and geoengineering, and they deserve straight answers," said EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin. "We're publishing everything EPA knows about these topics on these websites."

EPA's new online resource on condensation trails, or "contrails," explains the science behind the aerial phenomenon and addresses myths and misconceptions that have persisted for decades. The new webpage also addresses head-on various claims that these occurrences are actually an intentional release of dangerous chemicals or biological agents at high altitudes for a variety of nefarious purposes, including population control, mind control, or attempts to geoengineer Earth or modify the weather.

EPA also created a new online resource focused specifically on solar geoengineering activities, which involve cooling the Earth by reflecting sunlight back to space, usually through injecting gases, like sulfur dioxide, into the upper atmosphere where they form reflective particles.

"EPA shares the significant reservations many Americans have when it comes to geoengineering activities," Administrator Zeldin said.

The resource delves into the current state of science and research surrounding geoengineering, including the potentially negative impacts it could have on the environment and human health, including depleting the ozone layer, harming crops, altering weather patterns and creating acid rain.

EPA's new resource also details what EPA has done to identify and track private actors potentially engaged in such activities. Additionally, the online resource discusses weather modification and cloud seeding, and related federal and state government actions.

Your tax dollars at work. The sites appear to be rational. Someone’s sure to be fired for that gaffe.

Forum hosts, if this is too stupid for LBN, go ahead and close it.

Hat tip, Joe.My.God.

Another thing, the whole "chemtrail" idiocracy is directly proportional to the rise of the interweb in the late 90's (dial up modem ringing in your ears?) amongst the common folk. There is a direct "psychomathematical" (hey they make shit up so can I) correlation between all of that....

He had some guy come to a board meeting saying the town needed to do something about them. He was like "What can we do tell planes not to fly over?" I sent him the link to DU, told him it was a dem site but had links to EPA. Said it would not convince true believers but at least he could talk from a little knowledge.
