A
correspondent of mine recently wrote that he has given up flying "for
environmental reasons". I know there have been some claims made of high
altitude "haze" being caused by
emissions from commercial jet aircraft, and this has been claimed to
affect
climate, but the person who wrote this is a well-known Reichian
therapist, and an author of books on orgonomic topics, so it was a bit
of a shock to find him apparently accepting without applying any
critical thinking, the mechanistic theory of "haze" being caused by
aircraft instead of looking for an orgonomic explanation of the
observations.
Modern
jet aircraft usually fly at 30,000 to 40,000 ft. They only have a major
environmental impact in the near vicinity of an airport. The main
emission from them at cruising altitude is water vapor. Other components
are not especially important compared to ground-based sources of
pollutants.
The
hypothesis that the water vapor in jet contrails spreads out to create a
far-reaching "haze" or high cirus cloud cover, is incorrect. It is
based on the mistaken "condensation nucleus" theory that underlies
cloudseeding attempts to create rain, a controversial and as yet
unproven technology. That theory claims that no raindrops will form in a
clear sky unless there is a tiny solid particle of something for the
water vapor to condense on. This is what the scientists can observe in a
laboratory, so they extrapolate from that to the atmosphere.
They
are mistaken. The "haze" commonly seen at high altitude that impedes
visibility is what is known in orgonomy as the "DOR ceiling", and it is a
condition of stagnation of the orgone of the atmosphere, not a screen
of water droplets. This DOR ceiling was normally at an altitude of about
5,000 ft. in the 1950s, when it was first observed and described in the
book, Contact With Space, by Wilhelm Reich, and it was found by him at
that time to be caused by the frequent atom bomb tests in Nevada. It has
since risen and is now at an altitude of 30,000 to 40,000 ft., about
the same as that at which commercial airliners normally fly.
In
a laboratory cloud chamber, the condensation of water vapor that is
already existing in the atmosphere into visible drops of water does not
take place no matter how much water vapor is introduced into the air
inside the chamber, unless there is some solid particle for the vapor to
condense around. But in the lab, the experiment is done in a tightly
sealed box with glass sides to allow visibility, inside a room that
usually has flouresent lighting and other electrical equipment, in a
building with thick brick or stone walls, and most often in a built-up
urban area. All these conditions impede or imobilize orgone.
Outside,
in the "meadow" of the natural world, where the flow and pulsation of
constantly moving orgone energy streams is unimpeded by brick, stone, or
glass, and not "killed" or stagnated by electrical devices, the
formation of raindrops is accomplished by a very different mechanism:
the creation directly from mass-free energy of newly created water by a
process of superimposition of merging orgone streams.
The
observation that a
cloudbuster can cause clouds to form in a clear sky without adding any
particulate matter to provide condensation nuclei shows that
condensation in the real-world atmosphere is not dependent upon the
presence of particulates. Condensation in the real atmosphere is due to
fresh, new creation of water from superimposing streams of mass-free
energy. If a particle of matter was required for each raindrop, a
cloudbuster could not cause raindrops to form in a clear sky without
adding particulates.
So
based on observational evidence, I do not accept the condensation
nucleus theory that jet aircraft contrails have a significant effect on
weather.
The
most important alleged "fact" offered in suport of that theory is that
in the 48 hours after 9/11, while air traffic over North America was
shut down, the skies were clear of "haze". That observation has another
interpetation. At the same time, following long-standing policy left
over from the Cold
War, it is
almost certain, though never made public, that the American nuclear
arsenal was placed on "Combat-Ready -Alert" status, made ready to fire
if the order was given.
Making
a nuclear weapon ready to fire requires placing a small bit of highly
radioactive pollonium, 4,000 times as radioactive as plutonium or
enriched uranium, in the exact center of the bomb, which happens to be
constructed in a very familiar manner-- as a nested series of concentric
layers of different materials. The
emplacement of the highly radioactive polonium in the center of this
multi-layered arrangement triggers an oranur reaction that excites the
atmosphere over a very wide area, including upwind areas.
The
result is what is known in orgonomy as "oranur weather", bright, clear,
weather conditions in which clouds do not form or if any do, they have
little cohesion and do not hold together well. The atmosphere is excited
into a state of expansion, and the contraction processes
that cause rain do not take place. If continued long enough, this is
called a "drought".
Not
knowing of the oranur effect from radioactivity, and probably also not
aware of the placing of America's nuclear arsenal on alert and the
possibility that that could affect the atmosphere, the meteorologists
came to the conclusion, based on their demonstrably wrong condensation
nucleus theory, that the clear skies over North America in the few days
after 9/11 were the normal
condition of the atmosphere and the more usually seen high, thin cirrus
cloud cover was caused by the condensation nuclei left by usual jet
traffic. From that has developed the belief that jet air travel has
large-scale effects on weather.
And
well-intentioned, educated people are restricting their travel in the
belief they can thereby help the environment. That is bad enough, but we
can expect such restrictions on travel to be made mandatory sooner or
later, if this belief goes unchallenged.
