To: All members of the United States Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works
Senate Commitee on Environment and Public Works: Conduct and fund an investigation into ongoing g...
We, the undersigned, are requesting that the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works perform an investigation into ongoing and undisclosed geoengineering programs (specifically Solar Radiation Management and weather modification) taking place without the consent of the population of the United States of America. We are further requesting that EPW allocate funding to the federal Environmental Protection Agency to test for contaminants in our atmosphere, soil and water due to such activities. We are requesting that the EPA and EPW coordinate to test for nanoparticulate matter comprised of heavy metals, biological matter, and any other substances that could be present in our atmostphere, soil and water as the result of continuous aerosolized spraying from aircraft. As citizens of the United States, we expect our government officials to represent us, address our valid concerns, and take action to investigate such environmentally risky programs that also have the potential to severely impact the health of our population.
The results of rainwater tests, soil sample tests, and standing water tests that have been done in various areas by citizens of the U.S. are all showing alarmingly high levels of aluminum, barium, strontium as well as other harmful substances. We believe that the heavy metal test results are consistent with ongoing discussions of and existing patents for Stratospheric Aerosol Geoengineering and/or Solar Radiation Management. These heavy metals remain in our atmosphere and we believe are consistently falling upon our soil, our water supply, and our food supply.
Additionally, we are concerned that we are inhaling heavy metal nanoparticulate matter on an ongoing basis, and that these nanoparticle-sized metals are being absorbed by our bodies, by those of our pets and livestock, and by our produce. Most notably, it is causing long term air pollution, resulting in severe respiratory diseases in our population, especially among people who are most vulnerable.
We believe that the aerosolized metals and other substances being sprayed from jet aircraft are having a devastating effect on our trees, gardens, farms and water supply. We also believe that irreversible damage is being done to our ecosystems. Aluminum, once it enters the ecosystem, can never be removed.
We acknowledge that the negative effects of geoengineering extend far beyond the environment and the health of all living things. The damage that we believe is occurring will, at the very least, have immeasurable effects on the economy in the form of lost solar production, damage to crops, the loss of tourism income, and devaluation of real estate.
We are concerned that the unregulated activity of Geoengineering/Solar Radiation Management/Stratospheric Aerosol Geoengineering is already taking place and is under full-scale implementation; and we believe it is being done without the consent of the citizens of the United States of America. This petition is a request by the citizens of the U.S. for EPW to initiate a formal investigation into Geoengineering/Solar Radiation Management/Stratospheric Aerosol Geoengineering. It is also a request for EPW to authorize and fund an investigation and study to be performed by the federal EPA.

Why is this important?
In April of 2013, planes began flying over my northern California home, turning our blue sky into a white haze. As I began to research and connect with others, I learned that this aerosolized spraying is happening not only over all areas of the United States, but that it is happening in many other countries as well. I also learned that it has been happening for many years in some areas.
Initially, the spraying we experienced here severely affected my health. It continues to cause breathing problems for my children and for me. I care about ALL of the children of this world and I believe they deserve better than what our government is doing.
Solar Radiation Management (SRM) is a geoengineering technique being "proposed" by scientists to slow down global warming by dimming the sun. Clearly, however, it is out of the "proposed" stage and is already under full-scale implementation. SRM is not an answer to climate change. It will benefit fossil fuel companies that want to continue with business as usual, and it will benefit chemical companies and big pharmaceutical companies, but it is destructive to the health of people, animals, and the environment. And cooling the planet by dimming the sun in a haze of intentional pollution is shrouding the grave issue of ocean acidification.
The children of this planet will inherit this mess and the health and environmental issues it creates. We can do better.
