I coated my whole trumpet with mercury. I still have it. Been outgassing
for 55+ years.

1965-1967 my family lived in South America, in a house with lead water
pipes. Not just the main feed, all the pipes in the house were lead.
Plus my dad was a chemist, and strangely he would bring home metallic
(liquid) mercury and let us kids play with it like Silly Putty.
So maybe I'm immune to getting dementia because my baseline is already so
low. On the other hand, as George Carlin said, think how stupid the average
person is and realize half of them are even stupider than that. I'm
constantly amazed how many people seem dumber than their pets and yet they
are able to dress and feed themselves, drive cars, hold paying jobs (some of
them), and all of them (not the pets) can vote. I can understand why Calvin
wanted to paint stripes on himself and have Hobbes teach him to be a tiger.

This would have had a much much bigger effect on Boomers than any
other generation... ( this is actually true !)

Come explain this to my whole family, please. I’ll invite you to
Thanksgiving dinner.

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.
Occam's Razor.
