A few more tropical days in Finland, with hot days and evenings marked by thunderstorms, and then it looks like we’re getting back to normal finnish temperatures, around +20 degrees celsius during summer months.
How much of the heatwave is a consequence of geoengineering, artificially manipulated weather patterns by human beings in countries like China and the USA, remains unknown.
I would like to know your opinions and thoughts about GEOENGINEERING.
Glaciers are melting, ice and snow sheets are melting, and the Arctic sea ice is melting at a rapid rate, so fast that it is estimated to disappear completely during summer months within only a few years, or by 2040. Why is this happening? According to some researchers and scientists, the Earth´s weather is being changed and manipulated on purpose through geoengineering. (GeoEngineering Watch). GeoEngineering Watch reports that for example chemical ice nucleation is an important tool for geoengineers, with geoengineered snow storms being created by experimenting human beings (geoengineers).
Whether caused by geoengineering human beings or not, it is a fact that glaciers, ice sheets, and Arctic sea ice are melting rapidly, affecting not only the climate in the large Arctic region, but all over our planet. When the ice and snow covers disappear in the Arctic, it causes permafrost to thaw and climate change accelerating faster than ever.
This is caused by the albedo effect, whereby the black ocean/sea surface absorbs increasingly much of the sun rays´ heat, unable to reflect as much of its energy and heat back into the atmosphere in comparison with thick ice and snow covered surfaces. This constantly warming climate in the Arctic region thus accelerates and accelerates, causing even more of the ice and snow covers to melt, warming the region and the whole world to an extent that has never earlier been seen in history. And, this is all anthropogenic, i.e. caused by us human beings.
How much worse is this made by and through geoengineering? This is a topic not yet much discussed. What is discussed openly today is the anthropogenic climate change caused by e.g. the release of greenhouse gases and other toxins into Earth´s atmosphere, including CO2. When climate change continues and intensifies in the Arctic region, it also causes more and more carbon dioxide and methane being released into our global atmosphere, the consequences of which lead to the greenhouse effect on our planet to become even worse.

“FAO. Climate change has both direct and indirect effects on agricultural productivity including changing rainfall patterns, drought, flooding and the geographical redistribution of pests and diseases.”
Not a single day goes by without news from somewhere in the world about extreme drought or (severe) floods. This has, unfortunately, become so commonplace that many people choose not to consume broadcast media at all, others simply close off their senses and become numb, others are so deeply affected by the constant local/worldwide news that they decide to take action and do something concrete to help/improve circumstances, and then there are those who are directly involved e.g. through their work in the field.
The wildfires in California this week are deeply shocking news, with at least 170.000 acres of land being destroyed so far, and mass evacuations of people losing their homes. Seven years ago, in October 2010, when I visited Napa and Sonoma Valleys, the year had been disastrous for the vineyards/the whole vintage due to heavy rainfall. Now this. Are these weather patterns, including droughts, wildfires, hurricanes and extreme floods a new normal in the United States? Or, are these extreme events consequences of geoengineering, i.e. artificial intervention by human beings into the Earth´s weather?

“Oxford Geoengineering Programme. What is Geoengineering? Geoengineering is the deliberate large-scale intervention in the Earth´s natural systems to counteract climate change.”
“Geoengineering is the artificial modification of Earth´s climate systems through two primary ideologies, Solar Radiation Management (SRM) and Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR). (GeoEngineering Watch. Quoted October 4. 2017).
“Geoengineering is a dirty word many climate scientists and climate policy experts avoid, because humans meddling with nature doesn’t have the best track record. Geoengineering strategies generally fall into two categories: removing carbon dioxide and reducing heat”. (Wired.com. Nick Stockton. 07.20.17).
