Haarp... a Government Cover-Up?
H.A.A.R.P. A Government Cover-Up?
Is it possible for the government to control the weather? That is the question people ponder upon when talking about the High-Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP). This is an ionospheric research center. This ionospheric research facility in Gakona, Alaska studies the properties of the ionosphere. HAARP is the largest ionospheric heater. An ionospheric heater is defined as an array of antennas which are used for heating the ionosphere. HAARP’s radio beams excites or heats the ionized particles. HAARP was designed to probe 50k patches of the atmosphere with high frequency radio waves. The atmosphere is made up of three layers. The troposphere is from sea level to 16 km above the surface. The stratosphere includes the ozone layer, is from 16 km to 48 km. The ionosphere is 48 km to over 50,000 km. It is electrically charged and surrounds the Earth's upper atmosphere. The ionosphere is prone to catalytic reactions. This means if even a small part of it is changed, a major change can occur. HAARP has a 9-hectare antenna farm with 180 twenty-one meter tall radio towers with two transmitters on each tower! Each tower has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 4 megawatts (MW), equal to 4,000,000 watts!The total project with all 360 transmitters is designed to have an ERP of 4 gigawatts (GW) which is equal to 4,000,000,000 watts. The array of towers covers frequencies from 2.8 to 10 MHz. Along with this high frequency (HF) research facility, there is another one just 289 kilometers away! It is called the High Power Auroral Stimulation Observatory (HIPAS). HIPAS only has 8 dipoles that operate at two frequencies; 2.85 and 4.53 MHz. HIPAS.
Scientists and workers at HAARP claim HAARP is not nearly powerful enough to change Earth’s climate. Some people say yes, HAARP can control the weather. While this may be true to some extent, HAARP officials claim the effects of their ionospheric testing only affects a small area

    Another thing to think about is the size of the debris itself. The debris found by Mac Brazel spead across approximately 15 acres of land. It would take four of the Project Mogul balloon arrays to crash and shred in the same general area in order to cover 15 acres of space. This makes it very improbably that the debris outside of Roswell was, in fact, a weather balloon or, any relative of a weather…

    The cunning space agency that has a long line of conspiracy theories surrounding it may be telling the truth this time. But they may be lying about the balloons destination. Maybe it isn’t a weather balloon at all. NASA may be sending this super high-tech bag full of air to space. With UFO enthusiasts spending every waking hour watching live feeds from the ISS, it would be hard to pass any secret alien messages. The “weather balloon” could be headed for space. It could be some UFO linkup device that aliens will intercept in space and than send it back to Earth. From space. It may sound insane. But we should all ask ourselves why NASA is being so open about this project?…

    If you extrapolate from these burps of gas to wider regions, the numbers can get big enough to jolt the climate. Yet global measurements of methane do not necessarily show a recent increase. One reason is that hotspots "are still pretty local," says the University of Alaska Fairbanks's Vladimir E. Romanovsky, who charts permafrost temperatures. Another may be that scientists have just gotten better at finding hotspots that have always existed. That is why Dlugokencky says, "I am not concerned about a rapid climate change brought about by a change in…

    (climate.nasa.gov). Quote from Intergovernmental panel on climate change: Taken as a whole, the range of published evidence indicates that the net damage costs of climate change are likely to be significant and to increase over time. Scientists have high confidences that Temeratures around the globe will continure to increase for many years to come. This is due to the greenhouse gasses produced by an overall collaboration of human activities…

    Climate change is controversial for a myriad number of reasons, but the main controversy is is it real. According to Sallie Baliunas, Ph.D. and Senior Scientist at George C. Marshall Institute, the warming of the earth is not due to human-made greenhouse gases. Furthermore, Baliunas asserts sunspots and the natural cycles of warming and cooling in the Pacific cause it. Baliunas makes this argument by deducing from from scientific studies, facts, and computer models; presenting the studies and models about El Niño and Pacific Decadal Oscillation, and presenting with scientific and authentic diction.…

    The climate change debate, as it discussed in the mainstream media, appears to be divided into two major sides. One side argues that the current global warming is caused by human factors while the other side insists it is occurring because of natural forces. In the latter argument, two natural causes that dominate the conversation are solar changes and changes to the Earth's orbit.…

    We found that unforced variability is large enough so that it could have accounted for multidecadal changes in the rate-of-increase of global average surface temperature over the 20th century. However, our estimate of unforced variability was NOT large enough to account for the total warming observed over the 20th century. Therefore, our results confirm that positive radiative forcing’s (e.g., from human-caused increases in greenhouse gas concentrations) are necessary in order for the Earth to have warmed as much as it has over the 20th century. We also found that over the most recent decade or so, it is unlikely that the underlying global warming signal (the long-term externally forced component of temperature change) has been increasing at a rate characteristic of the worst-case IPCC emissions scenario.(Patrick Brown, 2015). This author and articles are very crediable because they are scientics from a credible school and have many references. They explain a lot of facts in their article and also show thoses facts.…

    Ultimately, the climate system is powered by the sun: all else being equal, if you turn up the sun, you'll warm up the Earth. According to IPCC estimates, the sun has accounted for just a small portion of warming since 1750. A study of more recent solar activity has demonstrated that since about 1985 the sun has changed in ways that, if anything, should have cooled the planet—even as global temperatures have been rising. So the sun is not causing global warming.…

    First, scientists have made claims on data that may be incorrect. Scientists claim some of their data from weather stations, but this data may be incorrect. “Temperature readings can vary a couple of degrees depending on whether they are next to a building, on a slope, in a valley, or on a hilltop” (Hollingsworth 2). Also some key data comes from weather stations that have moved locations or had the environment around them change, which can affect the readings. On top of all this there is less warming in areas with less weather stations implying that there are a lot of small data errors that are magnified by a larger number of stations.…

    When Ha was in Vietnam, she showed traits of being brave (Similar to other refugees), and caring. In Vietnamese tradition, a male must wake up extra early on Tet (The Vietnamese equivalent of New Years’) to bless the house with his luck. Ha decided to wake up even earlier than her brother, to bless the house instead. “Tap my big toe to the tile floor” (Thanhha Lai, pages 2-3) This quote shows How incredibly brave Ha is. By tapping the floor first, she goes against all of her family’s traditions because she is bitter that her brothers get to bless the family with their luck. Analogous with Ha, the Bosnian refugees also are very brave. One teenager named Emir, talked to Scholastic about life before the war, during the war, and afterward. While…
