I remember being sensitized to the danger of tetraethyl lead by watching
some kind of scuba diving show when I was a kid. They were diving on a site
where there were barrels of the stuff either on a ship wreck or on the ocean
floor. One of the barrels had a leak and one of the divers got a drop on
him and it killed him.
That was pretty impactful for a 6 year old. I loved Jacque Cousteau and Sea
Hunt.

My Dad owned gas stations. Used to bring a little bottle of Hi-test
home because my mom loved the smell... I like your mom over mine...

This would have had a much much bigger effect on Boomers than any other

Come explain this to my whole family, please. I’ll invite you to
Thanksgiving dinner.
“Here is another fact: All the records indicate a non linear increase in

So circle back to the beginning, warmer air == more moisture in the air.
More moisture in the air makes clouds which make storms and rain.

I have many friends and acquaintances that love them a good conspiracy
theory. I am not given to any conspiracies.
Today the subject was HAARP. (Defunct research project to attempt
ionospheric heating). I was actually tangentially associated with HAARP
for a while.
Being a life long ham the prospect of creating a patch of ionosphere that
could reflect HF signals any time of the day or night was very exciting.
The problem is, it never worked. They learned a whole bunch about the
upper atmosphere but the initial promise never worked out. But wow, is
there a group believing that the guvmnt can control the weather. Yes,
they can with cloud seeding etc but not with HAARP. And control is not
really a good word, more like influence.
I try to speak reason, share some facts, always falls on deaf ears.
HAARP was heating the ionosphere. There ain’t no weather up there.
Weather is in the troposphere.
Troposcatter can inject a bit of energy in the troposphere but it is 100
times higher frequencies and produces no noticeable increase in
temperature.
Here is a fact: Warmer air can hold more moisture. Something like 7% per
degree. Don’t recall if that was F or C.
If you could selectively and effectively heat the atmosphere with
something like radiowaves interesting things could happen. Even
nefarious things. So far, no system has been demonstrated. Inverse
square law governs. If you calculate the specific heat of a large enough
volume of air (Like a sphere 20 miles in diameter) the amount of energy
needed for the transmitters would be on the scale of several nuclear
powered aircraft carriers to power the transmitter. Better just to
launch small nukes with cloud seeding fall out.
Here is another fact: For as long as there have been thermometers,
humans have been keeping a record of temperatures. Some of those old
thermometers actually survived so that their inaccuracies could be
characterized and their records could be adjusted to modern standards.
Here is another fact: All the records indicate a non linear increase in
temperatures.
So circle back to the beginning, warmer air == more moisture in the air.
More moisture in the air makes clouds which make storms and rain.
