I’d be REAL surprised if “geoengineering” is even mentioned as a POSSIBLE contributor to the crisis………
I would be surprised as well, and if Chemtrails were mentioned as a potential contributor to climate change at this time, I’d know beyond any shadow of a doubt we’d officially gone to hell in a hand basket
For the 15th time bud because you can see trails in the sky does not mean you have any idea what those trails are there for.
If you are concerned about the nature of those Trails ask your Congressman to look into that, but until you get those answers don’t tell us that they are doing this or that because you have no earthly idea what they are doing.
It’s the jumping to conclusions and being absolutely convinced that the voices in your head are telling you the truth that leads me to never ever want to talk about chemtrails.
Are they contributing, I have no idea. I do know cars and planes and coal plants are contributing and they’re right here on the ground. thats plenty absolutely plenty to deal with for now.
If a congressional committee on the climate Crisis began focusing on chemtrails before they knew what was in them, who is dispersing them, and why, I would know that Congressional committee was trying to divert the American people’s attention away from solving the problems of climate change.
When you see an airplane with a plume behind it, you can ask Google or Siri to identify the flight. Then you’ll know who.
We can change the climate if we try.
Ancestral territories are just lines on a map, and therefore inhumane to Hondurans. Yuroks must let refugee Somali families build villages on stolen land along the Klamath.
Diversity equals social integrity.
Divergent world views make for strong community.
American society is Bad, but we must save it from Climate Change and Carbon Toenails.
Thank you Jah People
