Keen .... interested and don't like being fooled. Since I 'turned on' to climate change in Nov 2017 its instantly become all important to me.
So many aspects to consider, loss of sea ice, Arctic methane in its three forms (geological, frozen hydrate and microbial) insane (and deceptive) weather modification programmes, diatom loss (and algae and plankton) therefore loss of Pacific coral, Antarctic ice shelf set to begin collapsing, the methane time bomb, worldwide glacial melting, methane release from permafrost, global warming, Pacific contamination from Fukushima, Jet Stream disturbance, unstoppable feedback loops and the interconnectedness of natural forces and systems .... probable mass extinction etc etc.
I cannot see how there can be such a thing as 'climate change denial'.
I'm very tuned in to being outdoors, I've seen things few other people have ever seen or realised ie plants, animals, signs of our ancient ancestors; rocks, landscape, topography; the microscope, diatoms and algae. And of course the more I learn the greater my humility at how little I know.
Please realise though 2 or 3C sounds nothing it has triggered along with higher CO2 levels our weather systems to go into a self perpetuating feedback mode from a previous 'steady state' and this planets life-forms to be severely thrust into turmoil. Less ice means greater heat absorption, a black algae contributing, jet stream now slit in two and thrusting warm air and damp into the Arctic, These things are real and HAPPENING. Polar bears, the saddest of sights will soon only exist as memory, can you see as many bees in summer? We are losing Arctic and Antarctic ice, at the North Pole it is stupidly over-heated and now exists only as water, you cannot walk there, ie this is now and is now plain fact.
Food production will be vastly hindered, is already inoticeable, also the to be dreaded and increasing chemtrails hinder crop growth, the aluminium we know for fact promotes plant disease, hinders solar energy production and destroys ozone. Aluminium from chemtrails has destroyed waterborne entomology ie insect life, as well as I'm guessing diatoms and algae (and as not yet discussed coral reef destruction, the bryozoanss have lost their diatom partners) .... bees now battle with dementia from aluminium. One part say the lower part of the food chain cannot be taken away without all collapsing. Witness the much under-reported Pacific sea bird collapse of 2015. SAVVY UP - BE AWARE !!!
This rolled up into a news story mid-December and quite rightly too but what no-one is mentioning is the monstrous tidal wave and subsequent follow-on ripples when the Thwaites Glacier drops into the sea. This is not an ‘if’, it is an absolute certainty, only question is ‘when’ … and probably a lot quicker than we have bargained for. The question is, how far around the globe will this tsunami from Thwaites actually penetrate?
We hear of the likes of Henry Dimbleby on bbc r4 this teatime informing us of the need to re-wild, the need to minimise meat consumption (yes I concur) but the arguament re methane in agriculture is quite tiny (and laughable) when one considers the likely many multiple ‘methane burps’ from the Arctic; our actions to remedy are a mere pin-prick and is JUST NOT worth the effort! As well as feel-good platitudes we need to evaluate quantities, realise the scale of what nature can throw at us. Then we’ll realise how we are wasting our time.
I’ve seen so-called ‘re-wilding’ and I suggest creating a better urban landscape, more competent gardens at home is a more valuable exercise.
It is pointless but lets pretend we are trying, we need ….
i) a one child policy.
ii) the near elimination of the American style burger culture.
iii) to live close/ local to our work.
I myself am a twit, no fridge, no washing machine (or tv or mobile) … but does my personal endeavour really help matters at all, not at all unless I can get half of every country in the world to do the same. Will they, not really and y’know it doesn’t even matter….
What is the difference between a pig to a dog, only a lunatic (or an obstructive bigot) would answer ‘Theres no difference” … yet every ordinary person knows immediately each has distinct purpose and serve different ends.
And so it is with lines in the sky, long lasting chemtrail versus the short brief condensation trail.
And so why does the ordinary person insists theres no assimiliable difference, having given the matter next to no thought or any obversational experience!
I merely observe and record, I make no assumptions, put forward no whacky viewpoint.
chemtrails north east England 1st Jan 2022
the above formed part of an hour or more of long lasting lines in the sky. Most days this winter chemtrails can be seen, often obscured by lower cloud but occasionally peeping through clearer areas.
Lets look at NASA Worldview….
Chemtrail Bay of Biscay, western France 3rd Jan 2022. As above, chemtrail Biscay, western France, 2nd Jan 2022.Chemtrail Channel Islands, English Channel, Portland Bill, Weymouth 30th Dec 2021.
A couple of years ago with a one-time girlfriend I visited Ouseburn Farm in Newcastle upon Tyne, (near Heaton) the latter an area I regularly visit, ‘I’m known’ so to speak, people ask how I am, enquire to my health – this is appreciated. At the farm (a newly contrived enterprise, however I applaud all the same) theres some surviving stone/ brickwork from an earlier age, a lead works, a once common activity in many towns and cities. The burn itself having been previously underground (filled in) for a full half mile, I also know its earlier life as it flows through Brunton Park where I once gardened and just before its submergance was the place a George Stephenson observed Newcomens sub-atmospheric engines draining water from Heaton Pit and I reckon George wondering “There has to be a better way than this ” … history indeed!
GS had the idea to turn from creating a vacuum … something any engineer abhors to utilising actual steam PRESSURE a force that if a sufficient boiler supply is in hand can overcome leakages and inefficiencies ie the basis of much of the nineteenth century and quite easily become a prime mover many times that achievable by vacuum. Clever man George and likewise Mr Trevithick.
Anyway, the flake white workers referred to their place of work as ‘the white cemetery’ as these poor compromised individuals processed rolled lead sheet into flake white, this being a near universal basis for the paint industry a century or more ago.
A few weeks ago I googled and found an image of this former lead works from say 140 years ago, it struck me very hard and the image has remained for many weeks in my mind, of people driven by poverty, the need to provide, the lack of any (whatsoever) Welfare State. They knew it would kill them, but if they could get a few years out of it and support their family, then “oh well’.
I am sickened by this exploitation, by this reinforcement of the raw nature of ‘capitalism’. I refuse upper case for such exploitation.
Perhaps this is why this explains forty five years ago having read the excellent and harrowing essays from Paul Foot (nephew of Michael the PM) I readily joined the Socialist Workers Party … and perhaps I need to re-enrol.
You see, on the Alston Moors and Nenthead (pron. Nent – Head) there was significant lead ore and I assume this raw material came already smelted and rolled into sheet product ready for conversion into flake white in the Ouseburn Works. I even now here in this house have some of my Aunties art materials and lo-and-behold, theres a couple of tubes of flake white from seventy years ago.
Poor things, this image has been with me all this winter, heres other links ….
Note the high rise flats, therefore a recent photo. I suspect to the left is the waste land associated with earlier dirtier industries. I’ve walked there.
These are interesting pics (note the motor car) but i want to capture earlier times, the lead works.
And y’know, activists get so enflamed re black exploitation etc but wasn’t the white man so likewise exploited? It was no other than slavery. But at least the black man mostly luckily endured a more pleasant clime, imagine poor and bloody freezing …
postscript …. I am quite drawn to those houses, their completeness and snug embodiment within that landscape, certainly a landscape not lacking in interest. But what of each morning an acrid bitter taste in the mouth, and maybe a continual realisation ‘theres nothing lives in this burn/ stream/ river’. We all I suspect suffer in one way or another, yet are programmed to not question. There will have been many happy christmases, holidays and birthdays celebrated and met along that burn. God rest in peace.
Plenty to see this afternoon here in the north east of England once the heavy grey sky had cleared a little, pic below from my front door.
Please note these things stay in the air, they do not disperse quickly as conventional and legitimate condensation trails are likely to do. That is a big difference.
Theres something like 600 previous posts on this blog, at least a full one third devoted to recording chemtrail as seen from where I live. Why do so few if any other people take notice?
Chemtrail NE England 15:00hrs Wed 29th Dec 2021, a break in the cloud cover for a few minutes.
Lets go look over on NASA Worldview to find anything pertaining to chemtrail for today …
Okay its a full four hundred miles away from me but still in the UK. With NASA Worldview you have to be lucky to find anything ie there can be a chemtrail performance overhead but Worldview misses it. What I need is realtime high def sat imagery, most likely to be paid for but so far I cannot determine where or what.
For instance, lets look at chemtrail for Tyrrhenian Sea and Corsica for 24th Dec ’21 … https://go.nasa.gov/3pEmuJO
To see food piled so high at supermarkets when a significant part of the world is troubled and starving, this is hard for me to …. stomach.
The poor folk of Afghanistan and the Yemen, etc would indeed be sickened to witness such gluttony. My view of how the Yanks and the Brits pulled out of Afghanistan is its tantamount to a war crime.
I think all of society already knows web addiction is a real and present difficulty, so what do kids receive around now, an avalanche of laptops, tablets, i-phones, xbox and games. Oh dear!
I know of a couple of kids that their greatest gift would be to receive some quality time with an intelligent adult, but they’ll never receive that!
Those without friends or family of any sort find it difficult I’m sure, to wonder what the heck this annual ‘spendathon’ is all about?
Me…. I’d perhaps be better with one of my pet dogs from years ago, thereby able to enjoy being in the countryside, but thats all dead and gone literally. Photographs are a useful reminder how active we were, the wonderful places where we could really soak up being in nature, gain intimate knowledge. Luckily I’m quite work orientated again and increasingly see this as a means to counter the effects of old age. It doesn’t seem a good idea to retire people as we do, mine is more a hobby activity in it is light manual, provides satisfaction and self esteem. Luckily I can say until its the very end I’ll always have the need to be dextrous and to get things done. Luckily also my house is lined with books, so many immediately triggering memories and pleasant associations of knowledge and things revealed; likewise a not small garden filled mostly with things grown as cuttings, everywhere I turn in my life there is abundance and things to engender a lively mind.
I’ve lain fallow on this for a few weeks following the damp squib of a wasted COP26 Glasgow, to let the dust settle so to speak, to reflect. The IPCC should hang their heads in shame.
The four years of a trump vested interest and an ‘in reverse’ shambles of what could only laughingly be called an ‘administration’ (note I deny him upper case) has not helped this planet or its peoples in any way whatsoever unless of course you are already an exceedingly rich US billionaire; lets face it millions are small change these days….
But trump is not a billionaire, no matter how crooked his schemes and evasions it has still left him hanging on propped up by debt from lenders of near last resort.
I worry about the Yemen, the inexcusable shambles of a deliberately callous Afghanistan withdrawl etc etc
In all this blog of say six hundred posts I reckon my sources are of good quality, will stand to scrutiny and illuminate and educate. Brave people, particularly in the USA, they face demotion or dismissal for speaking like this.
Heres two for climate change …
Note in the above from Dr Guy Macpherson his concern at the big hit from ozone depletion at 02:45 from rising sea level and hence the loss and destruction of nuclear generation (ie meltdown) and hence near instant ozone loss rendering the ‘out of doors’ uninhabitable. Its a chilling quote “The living will envy the dead” at 03:28. My own hobby horse is diatoms and the oceanic plankton that scrub half of the worlds carbon for us for free, all are near or are actually microscopic; trees and land based CO2 conversion will fail us I’m sure and unfortunately the plankton too. We’ve played with a world size chemistry set and it all appears inevitable. I found the link for the above on …. https://www.facebook.com/groups/arcticnews/
Here below is disturbing footage, note the blackened ice, note how beavers are colonising further north and flood the land / permafrost with their dams, the catastrophic opening of Arctic ocean seaways with accompanying noise pollution destroying marine mammal habitat and their ability to communicate and organise.
An occasional diary of lines in the sky for North East England, posting 18th Dec ’21.
Last few days mostly bright blue skies, often unseasonably warm and often lines in the sky which I’m classifying as chemtrail. Its pointless talking to anyone about this, with zero sum knowledge the average person will still refute any suggestion of mine.
These things classed chemtrail do not disperse quickly as per conventional condensation trail but persist and broaden as minutes and even the hour passes by, as proved yesterday afternoon and this morning at sunrise, pics below. Its assumed much elevated chemtrail aluminium levels are to blame for autism in CA kids, loss of smaller life forms in west coast USA streams and rivers, increased combustibility as per crazy wildfires, etc etc. Lets also think collapse of seabird population which is hardly mentioned, but if we lose the microscopic diatoms (of which we draw 70% of the worlds oil and gas from ancient deposits) we are speeding their demise and their vital function as carbon capture. All of this is scientifically verifiable ….. ask any professional diatomist ie the experts that are employed by oil exploration companies.
We’ve opened up a crazy box of interconnected feedbacks, we’ve played with something we shouldn’t. Glasgow COP26 was a travesty; waffle and humbug. A childs football is eight inch diameter, this corresponds at an inch per thousand miles, the usable space we have is one thousandths of an inch ie cigarette paper thin, a quarter thickness of 80gsm copier paper (ie the thin stuff).
This ‘whitening’ of the skies i suspect is going to be a near everyday experience here in North East England.
Fisrstly heres this morning ie 08:30 GMT Saturday 18th Dec 2021.
Chemtrails north east England.
The above lasted in the sky for an hour or two, did not fade away anything like a regular ‘contrail’.
Chemtrail.
Above is late afternoon Friday 17th December, more obvious in reality, all the lines are chemtrail.
In the above NASA Worldview screenshot for 16th Dec ’21 my own experience tells me theres more chemtrail effect or presence than the raw tyro would appreciate, but over north east England and its coastline its obvious theres chemtrail and the maturing product of same.
Chemtrail UK.
Above is 15th Nov ’21 early morning, theres too much going on here for any well balanced individual to take pics of everything! Look carefully, theres several chemtrail plus chemtrail reaction ie a needless hazy obscured sky.
Chemtrail above, 19 Nov ’21 north east England. We had lots of chemtrail at around this time, half hidden at best.

Why can notwe have what has nurtured and enthralled us for centuries?
Why does it have to be the next ‘big thing’ ie its only the next big thing that will fulfill us, the shit of Meta, social networking junkery or whatever is riding on the crest of technology?
I’d prefer to read a page of text, a few lines of poetry, perhaps the distilled essence of most likely an old man long dead; or a picture from the Renaissance or almost anymost century accompanied with a worthwhile and educated commentary.
Why has human experience been watered down to one technological and morose thrill after another?
Devised by incomplete humans to engender an army of other incomplete humans.
Think, read, learn …. theres more to life than the web!
This bugs me, for the first time ever I can hang out towels at 11pm just short of them dripping with a hand wring from a wash in my downstairs loo sink as per my usual routine (being sans washing machine at this location) and bingo next morning they are dry. This may be usual in say the Caribbean but is not the norm for the north east of England in mid November!
The year end of 2026 is the line in the sand I chose for what is tolerable and what is as mentioned to friend Gary the point at which I presume conditions may well become difficult indeed. COP26 has been an utter failure, who the hell handpicks these numskulls? Pundit Beckwith over on youtube includes footage and dreary as his presentations as ever are they do illustrate some very misleading presentations at COP26. Footnote: Paul, please try and assimilate NT manner and humour…. your fifteen minute vids are hell to get through.
COP26 seems to have utterly disregarded interconnected amplifying feedbacks and their importance, their many-fold increase over anything linear, ‘linear’ being the darling of COP26 and the emasculated head in the sand IPCC and the curse of NOT being able to get a grip on what really is happening.
Most days for the last few weeks theres always a chemtrail to be seen, often two or three at once, conditions permitting; its safe to assume these are NOT condensation trail but actual chemtrail ie includes nano-particle aluminium. I make few if any assumptions and merely document what I see.
Here is a typical event pictured below at 07:46 GMT this morning but twenty minutes later the sky is near uniformly obscured and further observation pointless.
If further in this day I had raised the matter of chemtrail in the sky I would have been ridiculed.
I wish to heck I had pulled back the curtains earlier, for three or four years when blogging re chemtrail I would have kept the curtains open throughout the night and anyway was often awake by 0600 at any time of the year. Nevertheless this pic shows strong and mature chemtrail particularly to the left of centre of this pic, this is a broad and mature trail, maybe an hour old and well demonstrates why I will not let this matter rest, it has created a man-made haze, if it were condensation trail it would have disappeared in seconds. Additionally, what is gradually percolating from official sources is the term ‘whitening of the skies’.
Last night say 8pm there was a huge chemtrail in the sky, deposited after dark, this is less usual to my observation.
Chemtrail north east England 15th Nov 2021. Note two feint trails at right, mature broad trail at left, say 40-60 minutes old. Pic taken 07:45 GMT.
To the right ninety degrees to this view over the North Sea were also huge long obvious and strong chemtrail. It will be interesting to see what NASA Worldview displays when the data becomes available after 13:30 hrs. In the above pic there could be five chemtrails in this part of the sky, less obvious in the pic than reality. .
