Scientists will copy effects of a huge volcano eruption to block the sun's rays and fight global warming in £2.3m study funded by Bill Gates

 

A £2.3million experiment partly-funded by Bill Gates hopes to block sun rays

Harvard University scientists will spray tiny chalk particles into the atmosphere

This could have similar effect to an erupting volcano's sulphur dioxide emission

 

Scientists are to copy the effects of a massive volcanic eruption to block the Sun’s rays and combat global warming.

 

As part of a £2.3million ($3million) experiment partly-funded by Microsoft’s Bill Gates, a team from Harvard University will spray tiny chalk particles into the atmosphere 12 miles above the Earth to reflect some of the Sun’s rays back into space.

 

They hope this will have a similar effect to an erupting volcano releasing sulphur dioxide. In 1991, Mount Pinatubo erupted in the Philippines, releasing 20million tons of sulphur dioxide. That cooled the planet by 0.5C for 18 months.

Goodbye GMOs: Classic Hybridization Processes Benefit Farm Yields

 

One of the most common arguments presented in favor of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) or GMO food is that these products are needed to feed growing populations. The idea is that these modified plants will produce larger yields, potatoes are supposedly engineered for late blight resistance while others are intended to be pest or pesticide resistant, or need less water. But in practice, few of these benefits come to fruition, and they rarely last because the rest of the plant and the surrounding environment change along with the artificially modified plant. That doesn’t mean that better, more prolific plants aren’t within our reach, though.

 

Instead of pursuing artificial modifications to boost farm yields, farmers will benefit more from classic hybridization practices that create context-driven changes in the plant. A look at the history of farming demonstrates just how well hybridization works.

A Link To Heirlooms

 

Heirloom fruits and vegetables are known for their rich flavor and varied appearance, and products we recognize in only a few forms today once came in hundreds of varieties. For example, in 1903, commercial seed providers offered over 400 varieties of lettuce. Just 80 years later, though, the National Seed Storage Laboratory housed just 36 varieties. This shift is true of countless other items, from apples to radishes and peas, and most of those older varieties will never be recovered, despite their apparent desirability.

 

Where did all those heirloom fruits and vegetables go? They disappeared in the wake of commercial agriculture. However, even heirlooms were plants whose seeds were saved year after year based on their preferred traits. But as farmers learned more about productivity, they also began to intentionally cross heirlooms with each other to combine the best elements of separate plants and boost plant productivity.

 

More recently, research has shown that hybridizing plants can boost their evolutionary potential and encourage more natural changes in the plant. However, hybrids maintain a link to heirlooms as any seeds saved from a hybrid plant will produce one of the original parent plants.

Meet Andrii Telizhenko: The Man Who Will Blow the Lid Off of Mueller’s Russian Witch Hunt (VIDEO)

 

Andrii Telizhenko worked as a political officer in the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington DC in 2015-2016.

 

Andrii Telizhenko is speaking out about the DNC-Russia collusion scandal.

 

In early 2016 Telizhenko was approached by DNC operative Alexandra Chalupa. She is still working at the DNC. She wanted dirt on Trump and his campaign manager Paul Manafort.

Chalupa told Andrii she wanted Russian “dirt” on the Trump campaign.

 

Mueller has no interest in hearing Andrii’s story. It doesn’t fit his narrative.

Mueller and his angry Democrat lawyers are not interested in the truth.

They only want to destroy Trump.

 

Andrii is speaking out about his experiences with DNC operatives.

He believes he is safe as long as he speaks out.

 

The Gateway Pundit spoke with former Ukrainian Embassy official Andrii Telizhenko on the DNC Russia-Gate Scandal.

 

Andrii Teslizhenko worked in Washington DC at the Ukraine Embassy in 2016. Today Andrii is a political consultant. Andrii was approached by a DNC operative during the 2016 election (March-April 2016).

US, NATO Coordinating Alliance-Wide Response to Kerch Incident - State Dept

 

The United States and NATO member states have been coordinating an alliance-wide response to the naval incident in the Kerch Strait between Ukraine and Russia, a US Department of State official told reporters.

 

"We’ve coordinated very closely over the last several days with European allies, both in the NATO format and in the EU format, and right now we’re focused on sizing an allied alliance-wide response, having the right size response to what happened at the Kerch," the State Department official said on Monday.

 

The incident has humanitarian and international legal dimensions, and US allies in the region should show leadership, the State Department official said.

 

On Sunday, Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) said that the Ukrainian Berdyansk and Nikopol naval ships and the Yany Kapu tugboat illegally crossed the Russian maritime border as they sailed toward the Kerch Strait, the entrance to the Sea of Azov.

 

The Ukrainian vessels were seized by Russia after failing to respond to a demand to stop. In response to the situation in the Kerch Strait, the Ukrainian authorities have introduced martial law for 30 days in select regions of Ukraine along the border with Russia as well as the coasts of the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov.

 

Russian President Vladimir Putin called the incident a provocation in violation of international law, noting that there were two officers of the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) in the Ukrainian ships' crew, who actually led the special operation. Putin also said the Russian border guards did what they must do to protect the state border according to Russian law.

 

Putin linked the provocation to the low rating of Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko in light of the upcoming presidential election in that country. The Russian president noted that Poroshenko may not even get to the second round, so he needs to aggravate the situation and create insurmountable obstacles for his competitors from the Ukrainian opposition.
