Satellite imagery deletes chemtrail.

I’d had an inkling this can happen and the image here for south of England and English Channel chemtrail 15th Feb 2023 ie yesterday really does eliminate the data I would like to have been able to view.

The image below on NASA Worldview terra/Modis setting is a huge amount of chemtrail activity, remember this is a snapshot in time not a rolling update (as far as I am aware). On the day of the event other filters can take several hours before the image reveals itself. One wonders if some sort of ‘cleaning up’ is happening.

In the chemtrail sat imagery below at right I would say its ALL chemtrail activity. Easy to do actually as if you click on to something like flightradar24 the sky is absolutely full of aircraft activity. I cannot believe this can be explained away as ‘ice crystals’ or upper atmosphere reaction to aircraft engine exhaust. Surely it points to a decision being made to on this time and day to add this sky whitening effect deliberately. In the future chemtrail sky whitening will have to be formally introduced as we will lose a lot of existing weather pattern/ cloud formation. If the upper ‘cloud decks’ that roll in from the Pacific which protect the complete run of west coast north and south America disappear as Guy McPherson over on http://www.arctic-news.blogspot then it will entail a catastrophic temperature rise, this trigger will be increased CO2 and remember the increasing and inevitable methane release being much more potent than CO2 (short term x200 and x1000 say if talking in weeks) … means basically we are snookered.

Into the mix and I haven’t actually read this stated as such at least cannot recall anyone mentioning the fact that as CO2 and methane increase there will / must be a corresponding decline in the CO2 cycle as plankton ie diatoms disappear from the oceans, it is only recently that scientists are admitting its probable that diatoms are responsible for half the worlds breathable oxygen. A tragic irony as 70% of the worlds oil and gas is derived from ancient diatom deposits.

Diatoms gone = marine food chain inoperable.

Diatoms gone = every other breath of oxygen no longer available.

Postscript re climate change.

There will no doubt be massive fires, huge loss of oxygenating plant life and I hate to say it as I wish no-one any harm a rise in tectonic activity / re-adjustment of plates. Again …. snookered! One could say that whoever devised this bundle of skin and bone to functioning systems will probably now be disgusted at where we have arrived. The human race and Organised Capital demands progress which as in the standard Western Model is now a complete system of achieving so called ‘success’ but how else can it be, there is an obsession (with organised capital) of innovation, growth, market share. Often I feel the unethical grab of obscene profit margin or mark-up can never be justified, to my mind there should be a regulatory guidance to permissable profit margin, likewise my detestation of ‘ornery folk turning themselves into IR35 Ltd Co’s and opting out of paying fair taxes is detestable, a swinging cop-out, but thats another subject. I’m unsure of the figures but we’ve walked upright since five or seven million years ago and its only three hundred years of a modern activity for us to upset the chemistry set and physical interactions of this world to turn itself against us. I don’t normally write in this manner but the realisation of the very simple cross-over CO2 / CH4 and O graph that seems not to be alluded to elsewhere really does set us in a far more dire position than most folk realise. What makes me particularly sad is so much beauty in the natural world, both macro and microscopic will I assume be lost.

Q. How quickly will terrestrial plant life react to a fast diminishing oxygen count?

Q. How quickly will planktonic life and particularly diatoms disappear, I reckon weeks once a tipping point is crossed, they are sensitive ‘niche’ organisms. Look at the now collapsed symbiotic relationship of algae and bryozoans that were at one time coral reef. This is a screaming alarm bell more profound than anyone is admitting.

Q. How many times this year and next will we see the horror of the recent Turkey/ Syria earthquakes repeated?

Q. It will only take one harvest to be ruined by changing weather patterns for the world to be thrown in turmoil, the USA burger obsession will come to an abrupt halt. And probably I assume Chinas pork production.

Q. Not really a question, a simple fact that ice melting rates are woefully under-reported or underestimated, we all know as kids how ice can flash off overnight and next morning as we look out the window and all is gone.

I remind people to visualise the crossover graph of increasing methane and diminishing oxygen, a double whammy so to speak or a logarithmic and catastrophic change in the breathable atmosphere.

These are only my personal views, pls fact check.

climate change misinformation, time drag ….

This morning at 0900 bbc r4 with Andrew Marr was a profoundly mixed experience, lots of hubris and earnest ‘educated’ pontification, well meaning tones but fell down badly, completely missing the point in many ways. Interesting say re Durer, his life and time, his nature observations and artwork, all basic stuff many I hope would know already, but where it fell flat and this is where it looks like Andrew Marr knows little and hasn’t done much reading if any on this is when we stepped into climate change topics; remember, the remit of bbc radio is to inform and educate.

The two big clangers from just tuning in to the latter portion of the programme were a few minutes on coral reef decline that utterly utterly avoided mentioning the algal/ bryozoan symbiosis that is 100% vital to their continuing existence with no distinct reason given apart from warming; a nonsense skirting and skimming as to why this unique portion of the living world is fast disappearing. Think – algae – diatom- invisible to the naked eye. Another elementary and sad to say basic error was never to mention the absolute importance of anything microscopic, the foundation of all marine life and hence ocean weather systems ie the climate of this planet, us, everything. Yes, theres lots of so-called educated folk on bbc r4 in fact at times it seems to be a necessity for anyone appearing on the programming output and goodness knows an absolute necessity to be employed behind the scenes by the bbc; but I’m sure there will be many clever fifteen year olds with a microscope that have greater insight than this. Too little, too late.

The other quite bizarre takeaway from this bbc r4 Andrew Marr programme at 0900 this morning was at the end a minute or two on ‘whitening of the skies’ to tie in with a book plug and attendant pontificator on such matters !! .. ha ha ha … Andrew, please read this blog numskull. Its already going on, contrary to the impression given that this is all ‘future stuff’ its already under way and has been for years. My own efforts here re chemtrail sky alteration are much diminished because it seems the UKs most prolific chemtrail recorder (me) its now made sure little gets sprayed in the skies observable above this location, thank goodness as theres lots of other things I would rather do with my life. I know where we are going and theres nothing I can do to stop it, a view held widely among scientists. Thousands of pics, a developed reporting system and NASA worldview and flightradar24 tie-in with many hours blogging / recording and all are sufficient to prove to my own mind what is going on. Its pointless to try and engage anyone in this topic of conversation, their minds are incapable, untutored and totally ignorant of what is starkly obvious; popular media too has done a good job at ridiculing folk like me. An exception to the nowadays (previous say four or five months) of clear un-meddled skies here in the north east of England was last Friday 26th Feb 2021, difficult to detect on NASA Worldview, but I’ve lots lots to photograph up in the sky, mainly south and west of here, it was a massive chemtrail afternoon. Lots, parallel lines, cross-overs, chemtrails galore remaining suspended for hours.

pics to follow…

Microplastics and ocean health.

Two quick n easy films, thought provoking and incorporating two of my favourite interests, diatoms and the microscope.

One salient point drawn from each film:

Our salt contains microplastics (remember the blood / brain barrier) that only become visible when examined with a quite simple bench microscope.
Every fifth breath we make is supplied by the function of diatoms.

Diatoms appear to be now severely compromised, in my simple google searches its near impossible to obtain up to date information. I’ve read several times that diatom CO2 to O conversion is equivilant to the value of the rain forests for the same task. ie 20% contribution to world CO2 to O.

Most of the microscope footage is pretty well as you would see it at home with a medium price bench microscope. A spend of say £100-200 for a secondhand ‘scope would do all you want. I use a binocular Biolam obtained from a microscopical society here in the UK thirty years ago and was available as the original user had failing eyesight and had to go into care. I seldom use anything other than low mag for algal samples, diatoms etc say x100, of the four powers available I only use the lower two. Theres no need to buy new.

Note also that diatoms produce a gas DMS that was only in the 1970’s detected by independent scientist James Lovelock as is very important for oceanic weather systems.

The other big question I need to find out about is present contamination from nano-particle aluminium, as in the embedded youtube of around three posts ago ‘Lines in the Sky’ professional (retired) fisheries biologist Frances Mangels tells us that nano-particle aluminium is a billionth of a metre ie one thousandth smaller than particles of tobacco smoke. If my reading of this and my arithmetic is sound, we can write this as :-

tobacco particle = 1m x 10 power minus 6 (written 10^-6) ie take off three 0’s for a metre to millimetre conversion which gives 0.001mm ie one thousandth of a millimetre.

nano-particle aluminium = 1m x 10 power minus 9 (1m x 10^-9) will be one thousandth of the above ie 0.000001mm which in my opinion is way beyond what can be detected with an ordinary light microscope.

hint : remember 10^-2 mm is one hundredth ie 0.01mm therefore 10^-3 is one thousandth ie 0.001mm

In my opinion its always much easier to talk as dec fraction of a millimetre (mm) when dimensions are sub-millimetre. As a practical engineer this is ALWAYS how it would be handled, far less room for error.

Realise that nano-particle aluminium is a far far smaller an aluminium particle that could ever occur in nature and therefore poses threats we would never have dreamed of.

As I write this piece we have an aluminised sky above, a strange grey, yesterday Sat 28 Dec 2019 was a lot of chemtrail over Europe as found on NASA Worldview and when out this morning 0930 yet again there are chemtrails being laid at high alt. Do many register this, anyone question it ???

DMS: The Climate Gas You’ve Never Heard Of

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phytoplankton

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_the_plankton

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algae

Loop di loop … chemtrail evidence.

Chemtrails New Mexico, Arizona, Texas.

The chemtrail evidence is that the trail deposited remains in the sky, just as we witness from the ground. I see occasional loops here too, 6k miles away in NE England. But NASA Worldview is merely a snapshot of time and misses most of what is happening.

Note the shadow cast onto the land, theres many more chemtrail tracks if you cast a wider net; the area ‘loop di loop’ covered looks to be fifty miles by eighty miles.

Its a huge swathe of chemtrail (assuming my photo-interpretation skills are correct) and significantly / fundamentally alters the sunlight levels and climate across southern USA on this particular day Friday 6th Dec 2019.

My arguament to chemtrail deniers is the PERSISTENCE of these chemtrail tracks in the first screen capture below, at LEAST FOUR TO FIVE HUNDRED MILES OF SINGLE TRACK CHEMTRAIL that does not WEAKEN OR DIMINISH EVEN AFTER MORE THAN AN HOURS FLYING TIME. And casts a very visible shadow on the land. The proof is 99% … this cannot be condensation.

As beautifully stated by a youtuber on an embed from my previous post …. “Its not perfume they are spraying”.

Its my opinion that the CA wildfires were much exacerbated by nano-particle aluminium from years of chemtrails, likewise extraordinarilly high levels of childhood autism and the death / loss of marine and freshwater primary level bio-diverstity ie plankton, algae, diatoms and hence zooplankton, all of which is indispensable to all marine life no matter how big the eventual food chain grazer, much of it ie diatoms are only visible with a microscope. The irony of the latter is devastating, seventy percent of the worlds oil and gas originates from ancient diatom deposits, no-one has ever seen an individual diatom with the naked eye, however the oil and hence gas which generally settled into underground strata from diatoms and the burning of which has lead to our present predicament ie global warming and mass extinction. It would be hard to make this up. I also think it is the loss of diatoms from the bryozoan-diatom symbiosis which has lead to the loss of coral reef. This latter point is very hard to find in sufficient detail on the web, as we are increasingly realising the time taken for observations to completed peer review is is far too long, we no longer can afford the previous delay.

I need to be enlightened on this and many points, my newer Windows 10 and Bing search results are paltry compared to my old methods ie Windows XP my old setup.

Look also up at Seattle, a frequent target for chemtrail.

As is my habit lets go look for youtubes.

Greenland ice melt.

I keep it brief, we know fine well what is to happen; I haven’t the patience nor attention span for a fifteen minute ‘presentation’ or anyone droning on with minutae so to speak.

Its obvious already we are into extreme weather events both in ferocity and frequency, likewise ice melt is heading in a most awful direction, note undersea ice volume as unseen from sat images will soon in a year or two at most surprise us all. Most arctic ice quite horribly is 0.5 metres or less.

Chemtrails are getting clever too, Tuesday morning last before any visible light from the Sun I could see huge definite parallel trails across the sky, I photographed them too with tripod and timer. Also this morning weather sat revealed huge amount of chemtrails NW of Ireland in the North Atlantic heading towards Ireland and Europe. Remember this most likely I am assuming contains aluminium, barium, strontium, etc in nano-particle form.

Therefore I am mindful to ‘keep it simple’ to live a righteous considerate life, gain pleasure where I can, to help whoever I may and am so sorry we are at such ‘interesting times’.

The real big triggers are ice loss, disappearing permafrost and the dreaded arctic methane (say x120 the nastiness of CO2 in the first five years) which are land based and beneath shallow water ie under 50m water depth of the East Siberian Iceshelf, as illustrated on any map of the north polar region.

For Arctic ice google Prof Peter Wadhams. http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/pw11/

Look also how near un-reported is the loss of diatoms a particular interest of mine, these being the actual originators of 70% of the worlds oil and gas reserves, no-one has ever seen a single diatom with the naked eye yet to my untrained amateur mind the loss of diatoms is directly linked to massive widespread pacific seabird collapse, coral decline and the probable loss of ocean cloud systems and associated generation of DMS and the conversion of or generation of 20% of the worlds oxygen. By diatoms we can also include other marine / water based algae. Plankton is the next level of food chain above algae, both much neglected as a news item for the general public.

We all know as kids how ice melts, we wake up and next morning its all gone.

Chemtrail diary ….

NASA worldview today 17th May 2019 shows lots of chemtrail geoengineering. Starts north of Madeira, heads east to Gibralter, in to southern Spain, Biscay, heads north, English Channel, also North Sea, western Ireland, up toward Iceland. Some over in the Med, Baltic and Black Sea too. All are regular chemtrail activity areas. This is a lot of geoengineering and here too in north east England some notable ‘odd’ chemtrails in the sky plus the usual aluminisation ie sufficient aluminium to destroy what could have been a bright blue sky. It is all blended in / attached to what i assume wld be existing cloud system. Interesting I’m assuming natural formation west of Madeira as below but note the chemtrails are north of this at top of screen capture …

Realise that with chemtrail geoengineering ie increased aluminium levels …

chemtrails stay in the sky, contrails soon disappear, be careful to differentiate.
aluminium levels in west coast USA a long time chemtrail target area are v high.
massive childhood autism, threat also of increased dementia.
life in lakes and rivers west coast USA much reduced ie caddisfly more than 90% gone.
much increased fire risk in west coast USA, anything burns once its had decades of nano-particle aluminium rained upon it.

My own theory / interest is the plight of microscopic diatoms, something hardly mentioned anywhere (a deafening silence indeed) … being part of the algae and diatoms themselves incredibly being responsible for one fifth of the worlds CO2 >O conversion; also creating DMS for ocean cloud formation and the base of the marine food chain. Diatoms also live a symbiotic relationship with Bryozoans ie the coloured animals that create and live in coral reefs. It is a dire irony that consuming the oil and gas of ancient diatoms ie comprising 70% of the oil and gas industry has led to both their own and our demise. No-one has ever seen a diatom with the naked eye.

Diatoms are a massive beautiful subject, just some of the applications ….

Challenger / Shuttle heatshield when NOTHING ELSE would serve!
bank vault heat insulation.
constant size abrasive know as ‘Tripoli’ polishing compound, toothpaste even.
cat wormer.
converts nitro glycerine to dynamite hence the Nobel Peace Prize etc from the profits made all owed to diatomaceous earth/ diatoms (German = Kieselguhr)
highest accuracy filter for the biology / chemistry lab.
essentail to the base of the marine food chain and life in soils.

Things microscopic …

A man that is fascinated with such things and he too talks of diatoms – a vast genus that will prove so crucial to this planets unfortunate demise as we know it, for instance symbiosis with coral reef ie Bryozoans and its the exploitationof ancient oil and gas from diatoms ( 70% originates from diatoms) that with cruel irony is our demise. Diatoms produce DMS a gas discovered by James Lovelock in the 1970’s that is fundamental in weather systems / cloud formation out in the oceans, likewise diatoms provide 20% of the worlds CO2 to O conversion. And invisible to the naked eye. No expensive microscope, a secondhand students microscope set to low mag ie x100 will do all you want.

Interesting to see Lynn Margulis, i have a most fascinating book here, beautifully illustrated bought say twenty years ago ‘What is Life’ exploring the ideas of Ernst Shrodinger and his book of three quarters of a century ago. Note Sagan as in wife of Carl.

Another book, important and packed with knowledge is James Lovelock ‘Gaia’ a most incredible Independant Scientist, i’ve also his autobiography a very interesting read, easy too. But the Gai I have here suffers from too much colour in its explanations, more confusing than helpful in many cases. Never mind, i’m sure James Lovelock can hardly be held responsible once the publishers get their hands on it.

Chemtrails UK

These last few days ….

Why are there trails that morph quickly to overall haze when it should be clear?

Why is it change, churn and turmoil, why not a steady state in the sky?

And days indicated as high pressure ruined with chemtrail haze. Its like that this morning, rapid changes, people tell me that rain is forecast (which I do not trust to happen …[but did]…) and now at 10am after clear at 7, dark at 9, its now wanting to be clear again. Light chemtrails all morning and the last few days also light chemtrail deposition. One could say this last week its little and often so as not to alarm the natives

Last few days have been only ‘light’ chemtrail effects but i think it was Saturday afternoon later on when the overall grey sky cleared and bingo above out of sight were the dreaded trails. Wednesday, a distinct trail 0600, half an hour later overall haze and light number of trails thereafter, as discussed prev we need a reporting system as per the old time radio communications RST code ie 5-9 etc maybe I’ll invent it. Theres too many lone voices, but maybe thats a good thing – to reach our conclusions independantly rather that feeding off one another and mutually reinforcing. Objectivity must be the order of the day!

Beware of media / tv treatment of this, its bundled up with all sorts of nonsense so as to ridicule people like me.

Pics below are from 18th July – 27th July north east UK. Nothing spectacular as earlier this year, but still nefarious and needing to be understood. Likewise now its 10.30 and I can hear jets high above but hidden by the manufactured cloud and wonder if they too are laying more chemtrail?

Bottom left, note how the trail is interrupted or turned on and off.

Apart from the clever hatchet job from tv regarding these things, most people would say its just jet trails. But why do they persist, can morph un-naturally quick, haze and quickly drift to form overall haze when it WAS a bright clear day. Theres the planes, theres the buggered day!! And why particular pockets of time when it seems so easy to see them ie an hour or two at breakfast, an hour or two at teatime. Remember, the massive aluminium levels where this has been happening for decades ie California and the horrible levels of autism in boys and no caddis in the streams and hence no trout to fish for and raging wildfire feeding on nano-particle aluminium fallen to the earth. I also have a feeling the chemtrail aluminium is affecting diatoms and algae, microscopic and utterly essential and fundamantal for most life on Earth. Diatoms don’t matter I hear …. thats where 70% of the worlds oil and gas is derived from ie ancient geological deposits. Its also the only material on this planet that allowed the Challenger and Shuttle to re-enter this atmosphere unfrazzled. A fascinating subject – diatoms. Its also thought aluminium from chemtrails is a major factor in bee decline, they develop Alzheimers.

Please see my previous posts on chemtrails, the photos prove theres something ‘going on’.

Look at my diary page started Aug 4th 2018, I’ll build up a few days material as diary entries. https://climate-change-briefing.com/2018/08/04/uk-chemtrails-diary/

Pressure from the money …

Same old story and frightening to think that ‘human pressure’ alone can seek out and render to ‘extinct’ things that should inhabit niche habitat every square mile. But farmers strive to take over and render uniform anything known as landscape, their abhorence of anything non-uniform and non-industrial in scale knows no bounds, their plough renders useless …. and really for what n’th purpose?

Streams, brooks, burns, ditches, puddles and ponds always interested me, I look back over my childhood and mostly it was starved of such things but luckily the village I moved to age seven had a flooded quarry and so there was a wee chance of pretendy fishing once I got to know about it. To get excited for this topic google image for such as … diatoms, radiolarians, dinoflagellates, testate rhizopods, all are easily found by the amateur microscopist and something i think seemingly never included in anything by David Attenborough – I hope to be corrected as I don’t watch tv. The former ie diatoms I think is responsible for 20% of the worlds CO2 to O conversion but no-one has ever seen one with the naked eye and also important for Oceanic cloud/weather systems; likewise it is burning ancient diatomaceous oil that has led to a) their demise and b) our own inevitable decline as a species. A pre-war copy of Strasburgers ‘Botany’ has a wonderful section ‘Cryptogams’ ie hidden things (microscopic) well worth seeking out, but it must be pre-war when the engravings were so fascinating, latter day editions are cold and useless.

I subscribe to E360 from Yale and its a very good source of quality information. Todays article is heartening but also sad in that aquarium keepers are providing a very key and important role in keeping alive species of freshwater fish that are endangered or possibly extinct. Thinking about it, could we not create more bye-waters and secluded runnels that could acccomodate such fish? And thinking about it, in the west here generally there seems zero interaction between inhabitants and their environment; unless of course its some sort of (usually short-lived) volunteer group or funding initiative, the kind we see photographed in our local free papers. You can tell I’m not impressed. But wheres the staying power, inter-generational involvement or handing on of knowledge and experience … guess what… its the 21st century and theres next to none. Progress huh … bah humbug. All my own work has been at zero cost other than time and application, two dozen species at the pit-heap and activity elsewhere, note the three big patches of yellow flag iris when heading south over the local bridge here and the so-called wild flower area at H Park all volunter ‘group’ activity will be much eclipsed by my own unaided effort (other than drive and insight) a hundred yards further on.

I quote from this excellent E360 article …

The GWG maintains several species that are extinct in the wild and has boosted the fortunes of some. For example, the finescale splitfin (Allodontichthys polylepis) was only scientifically described in 1988. By 2010 it was thought to be extinct in the wild and there were only eight individuals left in captivity in Europe, in a Dutch hobbyist’s tank. Koeck brought these to the Vienna bunker “ark” and began a studbook-based breeding program to retain genetic diversity. There are now about 350 individual finescale splitfins being cared for by various GWG members, and in 2016 a GWG field trip rediscovered a wild population in a Mexican river. unquote.

Well worth subscribing, always interesting.

My friends the diatoms.

I started looking at diatoms in around 1992, absolutely fascinating as they slowly moved themselves around on the surface of the glass microscope slide. Show anyone a goog image search for diatoms and they will be fascinated. They are anywhere that at some time is a wet surface, puddles, among moss on moors, stones in streams, all over the seas and oceans. Diatoms are near the base of the food chain and utterly essential, they cannot be done without and likewise the larger more sophisticated phytoplankton feed on them, all of them are part of the CO2 conversion apparatus.

Seventy percent of the worlds oil and gas is derived from ancient diatomaceous oil trapped / contained beneath the earth and silica is used literally as the base (wafer) for doping and etching to make intergrated circuits and modern day electronics.

This recent article tells us things look bad for diatoms:-

“Most of these studies, however, have been conducted under high-iron conditions. Our study uncovers a widespread cellular mechanism that suggests high CO₂ might be particularly problematic for phytoplankton growth in low-iron regions of the ocean.”

I quote … In the largest of these regions, the Southern Ocean, concentrations of available iron are below one trillionth of a gram per liter, approaching the limit supporting life.

… unquote.

quote … The team then initiated a study to investigate the evolutionary relationships of transferrin and phytotransferrin. To their surprise, the proteins were functional analogs whose ancient origins extend to the pre-Cambrian period of Earth history, predating the appearance of modern plants and animals.

“The appearance of phytotransferrin some 700 million years ago is consistent with a time in Earth’s history marked by massive changes in ocean chemistry, and this ancient evolutionary history helps explain why no one has connected ISIP2A and transferrin,” said Miroslav Oborník, a molecular evolutionary biologist from the University of South Bohemia and co-author on the paper.

unquote.

As in some gruesome joke we are just finding out about things as we are losing them. So, half our CO2 to O worldwide is from phytoplankton that now looks much stressed and likewise plant and tree CO2 conversion is modifying itself, shutting down as it were in reaction to the increased CO2 that they live among as per a previous post of mine with associated loss of planet cooling transpiration and protein as nutrient in leaves and pollen. Natural growing things, weather systems, the mechanisms of nature all look as if pre-programmed to dislike the present situation. Also bees and insects according to some are a tenth or nil of former populations and one cannot help but continue the line of the graph to the bottom. No bees observed in my garden this year to take all the pollen of my spring flowering bulbs, I noticed this decline quite easily three or four years ago. Today I shall have to pollinate all the crocus so that seed will be viable, I want to continue the spread of them here in my garden. Likewise not the former blue skies I expect of winter and spring, often ruined by non-fading chem trails and the quick-forming dreaded haze. It could be aluminium particles from weather modification ie the haze on clear blue (high pressure) mornings are to blame for the bee extinction, organic growers are struggling with much reduced yields and increasing disease which they think from the ally-rain. Even in my own garden a strange die-off on Hypericum, also rose leaf problems that are not the usual. The protein from green plants and pollen is merely two thirds of what it was. There are so many declines that soon blog posts like mine will need to incorporate long lists of bullet points!

Meanwhile Scott Pruitt at the American EPA and trump have banned mention of ‘climate change’ dismissing or moving scientists and plagued us all with the nonsense of ‘fake news’ to further combat any reality leaking into their world …
