CIA to Fund Study to Alter Weather with Geoengineering
2013-07-22 20:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World News: The Central Intelligence Agency, along with other U.S. government agencies, is partially funding an experiment to control the weather. Under the auspices of scientific research into whether geoengineering techniques can be used to alter Earth's environment and stop climate change, the CIA will partner with the National Academy of Science (NAS) for the 21-month study, which is the first NAS geoengineering study to be funded by the CIA, according to a report by Mother Jones. Payment for the $630,000...
CIA backs $630,000 study into how to control global weather through geoengineering

Independent: The power, reach and influence of the Central Intelligence Agency is a staple of conspiracy theories. The news that the CIA is reportedly part-funding a scientific geoengineering study into how to control the weather is unlikely to dampen speculation over their activities. According to US website 'Mother Jones' the CIA is helping fund a study by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) that will investigate whether humans could use geoengineering - which is defined as deliberate and large-scale...

The CIA Is Studying How It Can Control the Weather
2013-07-20 14:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Gawker: It's Christmas-time in conspiracy-land as it's been revealed that the CIA will be funding a $630,000 study into whether the government could control the weather and stop global climate change. Aside from being totally redundant to the good work being done by HAARP, the study (as described by Mother Jones) will look into changing weather patterns, assess the possible damage that might do, and see the possible national security implications of learning how to control the weather (or, you know, turning...

CIA spooks investigate geoengineering to fix climate
2013-07-19 13:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New Scientist: You could say the US National Academy of Sciences (NAS) is late to the geoengineering party - at least compared to its British counterpart. But it has now arrived, with an influential friend in tow: the CIA. This week in Washington DC, a panel of experts convened by the NAS met for the first time to embark on a study that will consider the risks and benefits of engineering solutions to dangerous climate change by sequestering away carbon dioxide or reflecting solar radiation back out into space....
