Security Science and Technology Directorate proposed testing CBD/CBA seeding for hurricane
“mitigation.” In a presentation called “Collaborative Research: On Hurricane Modification by
Carbon Black Dispersion: Methods, Risk Mitigation, and Risk Communication,” research
scientist Moshe Alamaro (Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences, MIT) suggested “the use
of carbon black aerosol (CBA) to selectively heat parts of the atmosphere by dispersion of CBA
above a hurricane.” Among the workshop recommendations was this nugget: “Distribute the
CCN (cloud condensation nuclei) aerosols on the periphery of the hurricane using aircraft and
ships. When distributing carbon black, release it above the core of the hurricane. Accomplishing
the seeding will take further study.” Their plan called for $64 million and 36 months to “conduct
50
large scale test w/evaluation and reports.” Jim Lee believes that drones (UAVs) are doing this
testing today and offers the Hurricane Aerosol and Microphysics Program (HAMP) and NASA
51
Genesis and Rapid Intensification Processes (GRIP) programs as examples. Former director of
the NOAA Atmospheric Modification Program Joe Golden spoke about HAMP to the American
Meteorological Society two years before Frankenstorm Sandy.
Lee and four fellow activists spoke at a CSPAN-televised hearing of the EPA in Washington,
52
D.C. on August 11, 2015. The EPA was considering regulating six greenhouse gases produced
by jet aircraft. Lee pressed the EPA to include cloud creation and randomized testing of in-flight
53
jet aircraft for metal particulates in upcoming aviation pollution regulations. The EPA is
supposedly moving ahead with regulating the six greenhouse gases but still ignores the soot,
54
contrail cirrus clouds, and metal particulates. With the Department of Defense and Department
of Homeland Security involved in using carbon black dust for weather modification, it should
come as no surprise that the EPA, FAA, DOT, and IPCC have no soot reduction goals.
Two studies, one in 2001 and another in 2008, have caused a panic in the aviation industry.
The studies prove that the artificial chemical cirrus cloud cover is trapping heat, as much as
5,000X IPCC estimates, and as much as fifty years’ worth of aviation-produced CO !

Contrails formed by aircraft can evolve into cirrus clouds indistinguishable from those formed naturally. These
‘spreading contrails’ may be causing more climate warming today than all the carbon dioxide emitted by aircraft since
the start of aviation. 55
CBD may be a great cloud seed, but it absorbs heat. Will the addition of sulfuric acid to
these clouds mimic the volcano’s cooling effect and increase the aviation industry’s carbon
credits? Geoengineering SRM advocates think so:
Options for dispersing gases from planes include the addition of sulfur to the fuel, which would release the aerosol
through the exhaust system of the plane, or the attachment of a nozzle to release the sulfur from its own tank within
the plane, which would be the better option. Putting sulfur in the fuel would have the problem that if the sulfur
concentration were too high in the fuel, it would be corrosive and affect combustion. Also, it would be necessary to
have separate fuel tanks for use in the stratosphere and in the troposphere to avoid sulfate aerosol pollution in the
56
troposphere.
Doping commercial flight jet fuel looks like the name of the game, whatever the cost to
plants, animals, and human beings breathing it all in. Taking a nod from the geoengineers,
atmospheric scientist Ulrich Schumann exposes the real chemtrail conspiracy in his
recommendations to the ICAO Colloquium on Aviation and Climate Change in 2010:
• Contrail cirrus contributes a large fraction to the aviation induced climate impact.
