Clive Hamilton: Geo-Engineering/New Skies

Clive Hamilton was one of 45 leading scholars, authors and activists who convened at The Great Hall of Cooper Union, New York City, on October 25-26, 2014, for the public presentation: "Techno-Utopianism and the Fate of the Earth." Speakers discussed the profound impacts-environmental, economic and social-of runaway technological expansionism and cyber immersion; the tendency to see technology as the savior for all problems.

Clive Hamilton is an Australian public intellectual and writer. He is the author of a number of best-selling books, including Growth Fetish, Affluenza, Requiem for a Species: Why We Resist the Truth About Climate Change and, most recently, Earthmasters: The Dawn of the Age of Climate Engineering. He is currently writing a book on the history of protest in Australia.
Clive was the founder, and for 14 years the executive director of the Australia Institute, the nation’s leading progressive think tank. He is currently Professor of Public Ethics at Charles Sturt University in Canberra. He has held various visiting academic positions, including at Yale University, Sciences Po and the University of Oxford.

My eyes are now wide open. Thank you. I shall be reading your book.

I thouroughly enjoyed this mans presentation! It was basic and to the point, yet the delivery style was very sly in all the important places that makes me say, whoa, rewind, grab a pen and jot down that sentence...or names. Now, in 2021, i see and learn from news...and not just one mundanely predictable network, but from as many diverse outlets as possible...that the combination of climate change, Geoengineering, and wave of big business and it's money has thrown all hats in the ring and now definitely pushing it's agenda through the political ring. I see w/ my own eyes and deduce w/my functioning senses that something goes on weekly if not daily in the skies above me that didnt use to and is not right. I am old enough to remember the clear deep blue sky of my youth and the nights of beautiful star gazing, letting the eyes relax just a bit out focus to start counting the surpising number of shooting stars i could catch. There is so much noise and denial of "chem trails" and I really believe that us regular people need to be educated on the difference for maybe that is the tripping factor which allow such denial. Basically, I would surmise that a completely visible lower flying airplane, most times more than one at a time, usually two, that is visibly working a patch of sky leaving trails of thickening, spreading white that spreads to form a dingy haze that people want you to believe are naturally occuring clouds, is spraying chemicals to "cloud seed" which seems to logically be able to be called a "chem trail" or trail of purposely sprayed chemical agent in the sky to attract the moisture to form rain clouds. And they try to tell you that a plane/planes are leaving only contrails which is only condensation, and furthermore tell me to get a "flight plan" and I would see that is normal everyday commercial and private plane traffic. Righhht. No, i am not going to get sidetracked by the technical jargon and reports i maybe am not qualified to understand and i doubt would reveal to me in laymans terms what i need to know. The deniers, especially quoting their either commercial pilot or military pilot career credentials at you first thing, are going to do just that. Use technical engineering, fuel combustion ratios, weather system differentials, weight and lift of different types of planes, etc...along with calling "you people" morons, idiots, dense, uneducated, all the while throwing links at you that prove themselves, telling you to "prove your claim". Remember, the top environmental agencies are all in this together...the same people proving THEIR truths, are the same ones denying that they have knowledge of any "aerosol spraying", "chemtrails", and additionally have no comments or intent to let you ask them to please explain what is going on with what you see. It is very discouraging when you realize how deeply this goes. When your country's...world's...top environmental agencies and organizations are refusing to give explanation or even be bothered to make up something...who do you turn to? Their are many private and individual watch groups with soo much real and consitent research and reporting out their. They are credible and can stand toe to toe with the big headed and motor mouthed pros. But that seems to be as far as it goes. How do you battle a foe that fortresses itself in and offers nothing? Anyway, i do not like what I see, whatever you call it. It is at the least creating an ugly obscurred sky. I see the fake made clouds. So w/o acknowledgement and explanation, i can assume that it is something most would not approve of being done w/o caring for or even informing the masses that it is happening. Thank you for this information on the power play and agenda behind this new technical term " Geoengineering" versus word "chem trails", which i noticed you were clear and quick on . That is curious to me...was it sarcasm? Or is their a reason you did not explain the difference? Thanks again!

Solar #Geoengineering is currently in full-scale deployment

Right on, comrade.

Blatant lie on "chemtrails" not existing. Geoengineering spraying is happening all the time. (See recent video capturing military jets spraying, as well as patent information from decades ago explaining in detail this technology.) Also, trust your own eyes: Do "contrails" exist in the same proportion over small towns and rural areas (with no airports nearby) as cities with major airports? Clive, I am not a "leading scholar" but I will debate you in a public forum any time, anywhere, with one demand: No pay for either of us. None. Get it? Feel free to respond to my challenge. I am absolutely serious.
