Global warming may actually be caused by man. I realize the debate over this issue grows more intense with each passing day with conservatives saying it isn't caused by man while liberals say it is. Until I read an article posted on NewsWithViews.com by Rosalind Peterson, entitled, "Forecasting Your Weather", I really didn't know who was right. All I knew is that our atmosphere is constantly being polluted by automobile and factory pollutants which have had devistating results in cities when smog develops and people cannot breathe properly causing many to become very sick and sometimes die. I remember reading in Life Magazine back in 1948 how so many Londoners died of smog related deaths and have seen subsequent articles through the years. I also know that pollutants in the air produce acid rain which brings about eventual destruction of many buildings and edifices.
In the article Rosalind Peterson wrote, which can be accessed by clicking on the following link: http://www.newswithviews.com/Peterson/rosalind112.htm she brings up the fact that weather modification which is taking place over many areas of the world could not only contribute to global warming but dramatic climate changes as well. Also Ms. Peterson, along with Devvy Kidd, another writer for NewsWithViews.com, mentions the increasing number of contrails now seen in certain parts of the U. S. and the effect they are having on health and crops as well as possibly global warming.
Unfortunately, these weather modification programs conducted by our government are not made readily available to the public, particularly the results.
There is now a bill before Congress, Weather Modification Bill, which continues funding for these programs but does not seek or allow public input nor allow results to be made public by all agencies involved.. Public input and disclosure of these experiments and their results are vitally needed so an informed citizenry can express their desires and concerns to their elected representatives.
It is hoped the public will educate itself in this new area that could possibly affect global warming and certainly our atmosphere and weather. I believe all efforts to insure our air is clean and safe to breathe should always be vigorously pursued regardless of whether or not the pollutants involved cause global warming.
Weather modification is a serious business that cannot be conducted without proper oversite and public notification of the problems involved. Our Government needs to be held responsible for its actions and not just be allowed to experiment with our weather in any frivilous manner in which it sees fit.
We owe a great debt of gratitude to people like Rosalind Peterson who have the courage to research the facts and make them available to the public. There is too much cover up in Government and that cover up must not only be revealed but stopped.
