In the affiliates version there is a good Break point at 29:40 for those stations who need to insert station ID or announcements.
Dr. David Keith has won awards and abuse for advocating more research on "Solar Radiation Management" (SRM). This geoengineering technique claims we can cool down the Earth, as an emergency method, by pumping sulfur particles into the upper atmosphere.
As we experience greater warming, will it happen? Bill Gates thinks so. He's funded millions for geoengineering research.
The folks who believe in "chemtrails" say it already is. They think a conspiracy of world powers-that-be have authorized dispersal of chemicals (some toxic) either for mind control, or to cool off the planet.
Dr. Rose Cairns from the UK has written an intriguing study of what this Internet chemtrails movement is about - and how that relates to the scientists who study geoengineering.
We wrap up with a short piece about the endangered salamanders. It turns out North America, and not the tropics, has the most of these reclusive creatures. Japan and China have some over 5 feet long.
Matt Ellerbeck, "the salamander man" gives us an update on this threatened species - who hold the miracle of how to regenerate lost limbs, or even missing eyes. If only we knew what they know...
