The 20th century was the coldest and wettest in record, Belarus had caymens 400 years ago, it was a lot warmer.
CO2 is a greenhouse gas stabilizing temperature and causing rapid greening, stabilizing temperatures, sure raising winter temperatures, but lowering summer temperatures.

Bottles of ice in a backpack is a quite nice method of climate control, you can drink them as they thaw too. A small backpack or pouches that hold the bottles vertical is much more comfortable, I recommend at two 1.5 liter bottles or more.
alot of news that has come from mainstream news sources that either are completely wrong or deliberately manipulated to mean something completely different. still lies no matter how you cut it. when i was stationed at white sands missle range ,N.M back in the early 90’s i saw testing on exactly what was being said in that article. its likely alot more sophisticated now than back then. im suprised that any of that information was released. the atom bomb was considered conspiracy before they dropped them. why cant people accept this is something governments would use to control populations and manipulate perceptions? man has done this for thousands of years with other methods. because we dont want to believe it doesnt mean we should ignore it. people can do great and horrible things . ones in power want to stay in power. look at all the seemingly useless wars we’ve had since ww2. if its not about power, its money. never seen wildfires in canada like weve seen in the last 10 yrs despite there being alot more unaccessible woods back 40+ yrs ago than there is today. its about making the world as apocoliptic looking as they can to instill fear.
My wife bought a couple of chilly towels years ago she still has hers and I of course didn’t keep mine clean. It got mildew and I had to throw away. Last week when I was mowing, she brought me out a towel she placed in the freezer. I guess the night before . I put it around my neck. It really did work so the ice cube on the forehead is not crazy talk
I’ll posit a hypothesis that I think we are all a product of our affluence. That’s why we need ice on our forehead (I know the title was posted tongue in cheek/comical.) But I really think we are so accustomed to pampered lifestyles, air conditioning in our cars, houses, cool drinks, maximum comfort, etc.
The reason I’m commenting is this is very close to home for me. My orchard is open in the mornings lately. From 8am to 11am.
I get quite a lot of customers who get close to overheated Upicking in the morning, when it’s not even really hot. It’s not even 90 degrees, maybe 85, and they feel like they are overheating, which I don’t doubt.
They frequently make comments that they don’t understand how I can take the heat. It’s really simple, I work every day in it. I’m 61 years old and can’t take heat like I could when I owned a hay crew in my teens and early 20s (putting up hay in a 120+ degree barns) but 95 temps are nothing. 100 degrees gets a bit uncomfortable in the sun, but you just drink plenty of water and at my age, work a bit slower.
I grew up without air conditioning. I appreciate air conditioning now, but people have forgotten where they came from. People have forgotten how tough it used to be. Even teenagers I hire just think it’s unbearable when the sun is cooking your skin at 95 or even 100F. But people have lived like that for ages. I’m not any tougher than anyone who has lived before me, but our cushy lifestyles have made us forget where we came from.
There was a guy who came by the orchard the other day. He was riding a bicycle from Ohio to Colorado in the heat. I gave him a couple peaches (he couldn’t carry any more than that). He said he rode about 40 miles/day and camped out at night. Now that guy was tough.
Here’s the skin on my forearm tonight. The sun cooks me every day and has for over 50 years of my life. Yes, I will probably get skin cancer, and perhaps die from it. I do try to treat lesions. I burn suspect spots off with hydrochloric acid.
This is how I handle it as well. I intentionally don’t run air conditioning in the car, preferring to have my windows open at all times and instead allow my body to acclimate to the heat of summer since I spend most of it out-of-doors. Once we stop having the fluctuations of colder weather I get used to the heat and do better all the way until I need to get used to our winter temperatures.
I’m actually tanner than you, I don’t wear sunscreen or anything either. Fat ole sun can tan up my skin quick. IDK… I think air-conditioning would be better if it were based on humidity and temperature. I have more issue humidity than I do temperature. I reckon it might be at touch of old timers kicking in.
i was raised living in a old trailer as a kid/ teenager with no a/c. it was like living in a oven. my brothers and i would set up our family tent and sleep under the trees in the back yard when it was really hot. most people now a days dont allow themselves to acclimate . instead they run for the a/c. i can go out ice fishing in -0 weather. if i dont go into a heated shack i can stand outside all day with the right gear. same with the heat. why mankind has populated every extreme climate on the planet. i will say though as i age, it gets harder to adapt.
@Olpea actually you are more tan than I am currently. Not that it’s any type of contest or anything. I enjoy being outdoors even when it’s hot. As mentioned before its high humidity that I struggle with it causes me to sweat profusely. This whole sweating business has become more frequent the older I’ve grown. This summer for the first time I noticed sweat in the eye really burns a lot worse than previous years. My sweat must contain more salt now, IDK… sweat bands in the form of a folder up bandana tied around my head it’s like a requirement now. Ice cube does not last long folded up in a bandana like that.
those ice packs where you add a little water also are good to have your pocket. i slap those on the back of my neck.
all this stuff usually relies on evaporation to cool you off, but not ice and ice packs
@steveb4 yeah exactly age! or a history of heat stroke or frostbite- it makes you more susceptible the next time. my partner has had heat stroke once and i worry a lot. I’ve had frostbite before and he worries about that
@Olpea my pop had melanoma taken off a few times and it didn’t kill him bur given time it may have. I’ve had basal carcinomas on my back removed a few times. luckily they can get all of those if you catch em early. i never used sun block as a kid in the 70s but i sure do now
Patents do not = science. There are lots of patents that are not feasible whether its because they flat out don’t work, a needed technology doesn’t exist (yet), or they are just too expensive. As far as weather modification goes, big changes require big investments. It takes tens of trillions of dollars of fossil fuels burnt to raise the temperature of the globe by 1 degree F. Or if we ran all the windmills backwards putting that energy into changing the direction of the wind, we could not overcome the direction of the wind. The first law of thermodynamics is a beast . Thanks for sharing the list, I’ve look up a few of them and some are pretty clever.
The use of some of those patents is fascinating. In Russia, during large state events where Putin is speaking, they reportedly take steps to ensure it won’t rain. Back when large protests still occurred in Russia, there was also substantial reporting that authorities seeded clouds to trigger torrential downpours over protest areas. Reading Kurt Vonnegut, you get the sense that he understood how his brother’s inventions either were being used or eventually would be used.
Wonder how much silver they would need? This would make a great conspiracy on why silver is so expensive. Do have to point out you need clouds first before you can seed them… I got seeds on my counter but they won’t grow without dirt .
On a small scale, such as dispersing clouds or inducing rain around a city like Moscow during major events, I don’t think it would cost very much—perhaps a couple hundred thousand dollars per operation. As a sustained strategy against a targeted state or region, however, the costs would likely add up quickly.
From the first article:
Officials dismissed the charges and said they had actually been seeking to prevent rainfall on Tuesday, which was also Russia Day, a national holiday.
Eight military aircraft had been deployed to scatter 1.5 tonnes of reagent to guarantee good weather, Lieutenant Colonel Vladimir Deryabin told RIA-Novosti state news agency.
The reagent cocktail according to the Kremlin:
Traditionally, aerial dispersal of rain-bearing clouds is done on Victory Day, Russia Day and City Day. The reactants used in the process are based on silver iodide, bare ice and finely divided cement.
. Thanks for sharing the list, I’ve look up a few of them and some are pretty clever.
