Do you think Haarp and other energy pumped into our sky is the real reason for global warming?

Question

I have been reading up on Haarp and microwave/ionization technology asking myself if manipulating our ionosphere is why our planet is changing at such a fast pace. If these projects change the ions to allow better communication (cell phones, satellites, etc), wouldn't they also change the Sun's rays on us?

Answer 1

First a disclaimer... I am not an atmospheric scientist/ Climatologist.

Experiments that manipulate the ionosphere should not affect the amount of infrared and visible solar radiation reach the Earth's surface. The ionosphere can reflect/ refract relatively low frequency radio waves. That is why it is possible to receive short-wave radio broadcast from around the world, where the frequency is below 30MHz, but it is not possible to listen to FM broadcasts and TV broadcasts from around the world (FM frequencies 88MHz < f < 108MHz, TV frequencies >50MHz). Sometimes during times of intense solar activity, increases in the density of electrons in the ionosphere can affect propagation of the lower TV channels, 50MHz < f < 80MHz.
Basically, the ionophere is a "plasma", a collection of ions and electrons. The density of electron determines which frequencies that can propagate through the plasma. Any frequencies above the so called "plasma frequency" will pass through the plasma relatively unaffected. The frequency of infrared and visible radiation is sooooo high that it is virtually unaffected by the ionosphere. The plasma freuency of the ionosphere is in the 10's of MHz. The frequency of infrared and visible light is millions to billions of times higher.
Last disclaimer: the above discussion explains why there is no first order effect of ionospheric density on infrared and visible light reach the Earth's surface. There may be a complex higher order interaction. For example... the amount of ionospheric density may influence the chemical reaction rates in the ionosphere, thus affecting the chemical make-up of the ionosphere and near ionopheric regions. This could conceivably affect absorption of infrared and visible radiation. But... someone woul have to be an atmospheric scientist to explain that one...

Answer 2

no,... there are too many other variables that have contributed to the condition we know as global warming.

over the last seven decades, this civilization has produced massive amounts of pollutants in a multitude of forms, from solids to gases and liquids. Where one may have affected a few aspects of the environment. Collectively all have overwhelmed this worlds ecosystem to the point that it can no longer keep up let alone regenerate to recover.

Everyday you hear news of places that are mystifying scientists why species and living ecosystems are dying out.
Everyday, the weather is breaking previous records, there are more and more storms occuring in greater magnitude and in more frequency - should it not be a concern or are people simply in denial.
Even if a fraction of all that were true, what you hear or read about in the news, the Tell-Tales are there, yet our own goverments are in denial. Are you in denial, looking for any scapegoat you can find? Looking for scapegoats is meaningless.

But then on the other hand, it is already too late to do anything about the situation, what with the millenia old striffe in the middle east and the major powers meddling in other affairs just to make the news (it is election season), Over-population on a global scale has already overwhelmed this planet's ability to recover let alone survive.

Its too little too late,.... sad but true.

Answer 3

There is no such thing as global warming. The people who think that live in cold places, and they move south (or north) into a hotter climate. It's really all a government conspiracy to get the scientific community to give them money.

Answer 4

Yes they would but CO2, Freons etc are doing the real damage.

Answer 5

No
