So how much do you know about Geo-Engineering?

[Katman]

Your point ?

To provide some reading for anyone who is interested.

I thought that would have been fairly obvious.

[Swoop]

What do you think cloud seeding is?

An attempt to make rainfall where an arid region is.
It's been around for years and has been so successful that Fiordland and The West Coast now have the patents for such a successful technology.

Their tinfoil hats have Marley spouting as sponsors.

I thought this would be about actual science.

I went to a lecture last night, given by an actual scientist. It was entitled "What will an Alpine Fault Earthquake Feel like"

The short answer is "rather scary".

The lecturer is a Professor at Canterbury, and spent a fair bit of time talking about the modelling of earthquake data. The idea of that was to see if their theoretical models match the data recorded from the Canterbury quakes. They pretty much do. Note this is not predicting an EQ, it is "given the size and location of the rupture, and our knowledge of the geology, and geomorphology of the area, can we model the effects?".

Turns out that they can. So the prediction was a 400km long rupture on the alpine fault, moving south north, and with around 11m of lateral movement. It produces a 7.9M EQ which propagates over the entire south island and rings that motherfucker like a bell. For (get this) three or so minutes. The "felt" peak ground accelerations will be less than from February (because that motherfucker was right under the city) but it goes on for a looooooong time.

And it is not IF, it is when. The last major alpine fault EQ was in 1717. The average is 310 years and the range is from 200 to 500 years over an 8000 year observed range.

Science, bitches. Its amazing.

Oh yeah: you NOrth Islanders: dont get smug. There is a huge subduction zone to the east of the North Island in the sea. It is entirely capable of generating a M9 EQ. (like Tohatsu in Japan in 2011). Guess what? motherfucking tsunami.

We're all fucked.

That's what you mean by geo-engineering, right?

Also: UC puts these things up on their website: absolutely worth looking at. We've been to a few of them on a whole range of topics. Very worthwhile.

Here's the youtube channel:

Do check out the Mars Rover one. It was given by Jennifer Blank, an actual NASA scientist.

Is that because you've suddenly realised that cloud seeding involves spreading chemicals in our upper atmosphere?

No, it's cos you're boring me. I know you think you all wise and all enlightened but meh.

[Swoop]

Oh I'm interested. To a certain extent I'm concerned. I'd love such knowledge to be freely available,

Perhaps look into the back of a jet fighter.
In each engine you can see the rear of the "hot" part of the engine and there is a multi-ring array which is a "spray-device".

You can only guess what the government sprays out of this item...

Can we start a thread about how this incredible conspiracy has come about?

Do the Pilots have access to Box Cutters?

[Swoop]

Atomised sheeple juice?

WOW! They can do that now?
I guess they harvest and liquidize the primary ingredients in Taupo...

[Swoop]

Do the Pilots have access to Box Cutters?

Yes. But they are supplied by the government and their suit-wearing "agents"...

So they can make whine?

[Swoop]

More of a pathetic, self-absorbed whinge, actually.

The first one on the Greendale fault, the 7.2, felt like it went on that bloody long....I'm never sleeping above the ground floor again thanks.

When i saw Geo engineering I immediately thought "fracking"....but no, nothing that useful.

Mate, I'm in the "Absolutely Positively Wellington" region, where half the Wellington CBD is "reclaimed land", a major fault line runs through the place (which we decided to put large building complexes along & decided side of hills were good places for houses) & we land planes in winds the blow American houses away (also on "reclaimed land")... Challenging mother nature is what we do!
