1.Geothermal Energy WHAT IS GEOTHERMAL ENERGY? Geothermal energy is heat derived within the sub-surface of the earth. Water and/or steam carry the geothermal energy to the Earth’s surface. Depending on its characteristics, geothermal energy can be used for heating and cooling purposes or be harnessed to generate clean electricity. Geological Survey of India has found around 340 hot springs…

Aims: On or about February 14, 2016, an oily-ashy substance was accidently released by an aircraft and fell on seven residences and vehicles in Harrison Township, Michigan (USA). The aims of this investigation are to analyze the “air-drop material” and from the results obtained to draw inferences as to the intended purpose of the material.

Methodology: Inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis were used to analyze the “air-drop material”.

Results: The “air-drop material” was found to consist of an assemblage of plant material mixed with coal fly ash and salt. The splatter pattern on vehicles, ground, and rooftops resembles cryoconite holes observed on ablating glaciers worldwide. The “air-drop material” resembles to some extent natural cryoconite, and appears to be modeled after that substance with coal fly ash imparting the dark gray color that absorbs sunlight, melts glacial ice, and contributes to global warming.

Conclusions: The results of this investigation provide evidence that is indicative of a deliberate effort to hasten the melting of glaciers and thereby hasten global warming. If so, this investigation reinforces the net effect of daily particulate aerosol spraying in the troposphere observed worldwide. Elsewhere the author has provided evidence that coal fly ash is the primary material being employed in such spraying whose net effect is to enhance global warming. Scientists worldwide should call for, and indeed demand, a full and open investigation into these covert geoengineering activities whose potential impacts on Earth’s climate system, the integrity of Earth’s biota, and on human health may prove to be extremely hazardous.

Cryoconite Holes, Greenhouse Affect #2, April 17th, 2018

Cryoconite holes are usually 5-10 cm wide and up to a meter deep. You can read more about them here and here!

Cryoconite, a black powdery dust made up of rocks, microbes, and soot, settles at the bottom of Birthday Canyon in the Greenland Ice Sheet. The ice sheet covers over 80% of Greenland and is accessible to visitors by car, plane, or foot.

Cryoconite is powdery dust made of combination of small rock particles, soot and microbes. Why is this guy important ?

Because he is going to play an important role in Climate Change. Well this post is only for the brave who still believe that our climate is changing. 

Cryoconite has been flying through the air and settling down on different parts of the earth for millions of years. 

There is a huge accumulation of it on the Green Land Ice sheet. But most of its covered under fresh white snow which thickens the Ice.

Because of recent melting of the ice sheets these dark coloured ICE DIE has started to show up. Ice plays an important role in reflecting a lot of the Suns rays back and thus decreasing the surface temperature. But as the surface becomes dark they start absorbing heat from the suns rays and this further melts the Ice. This can seriously disrupt the melting and thickening of the ice sheets. 

In fact this has already started happening. On top of that, this year in 2016 the Global Sea Ice Area has not increased as it usually does from October to December, its declining

[ad_1] Greetings to the followers of Smithsonian Magazine’s Instagram. I’m Daniel Beltrá (@danielbeltraphoto) and I’ve been graciously invited by them to share with you photos from the project on the melting of Greenland that I worked on last year. A stream of meltwater flows atop the Greenland Ice sheet that is pockmarked with deposits of cryoconite in holes and crevasses during August, 2014,…
