What is a Galactic Summer? switch to german text
Our Galaxy controls the growing of earth and the weather
Watch out! The biggest change on our planet comes from outer space
In this section you will learn that our galaxy, is changing our climate even more than we ever believed. And you will learn that the greatest climate change on our planet always comes from the clouds. Read carefully: This happens mostly when they are “missing” in the sky. The Goldständer-Reader learns now how things really are. Take it literally in future: climate change is caused only by the density of the clouds and the sun is more active, less cosmic radiation reaches the Earth. This logically leads to a decrease in cloud density.
We can already distinguish between different types of clouds: There are clouds which reflect the sun’s rays, and some can absorb. This new mechanism, we now understand. The last 25 years, however, was tried with all the CO2 lie to explain. Forget it! It is the element carbon, the C14 directly by the cosmic radiation is formed. And the sun controls the climate to the cosmic radiation and their influence on cloud formation. Many testify to this historical data and the facts can no longer be ignored. Please go back with Goldständer in the history of the earth and learn that it was always warmer at high solar activity on Earth. 300 years ago, for example the sun was still less active. They called this time the ”little ice age”. It was very cold in many parts of the world. About 1000 years ago, however, the sun came out even before the current activities of our time. At that time it was almost warm everywhere on Earth. Greenland was green in this time and many parts iceless. Watch the film and learn more. You will learn that the warming on earth is caused by the sun.
60 to 70 percent of the earth are always covered by clouds
The clouds are not the result of the climate, but the climate is a result of the cloud density. The clouds themselves are always controlled by cosmic rays. On the basis of new scientific results have been found in the missing information. To the great surprise, it was found that the cosmic rays impacting particularly on the lower cloud layers. And so it is: that means with fewer clouds in the deep regions, the temperature rises on the ground. Likewise, it was found that indeed in this event, only the lower cloud layer is affected. The lower layers have the task of providing the cooling effect, and as they throw back the sunlight into space. The whiter the clouds, the stronger the reflection. The earth will also decrease as the warmer, the more the density of the lower layer. Our atmosphere and our clouds are formed from aerosol particles.This is important to know. Because with the new scientific work has been shown that the galactic cosmic radiation is capable of the aerosols (suspended particles) to modulate – and thus also has the lower cloud layer, which as mentioned already have a cooling effect on the earth. Explanation: The cosmic rays produce small ions that contribute to the formation of aerosols, when they are coming on earth. So it’s a fallacy to believe that there is water in the atmosphere, including clouds and thus must give. Clouds can form in reality only when water vapor accumulates on aerosol particles. Every cloud droplets formed what is needed for such a condensation nucleus raining out. It was also observed: at high solar activity even fewer cosmic rays entering the atmosphere. This means that the solar magnetic field increases in these activities in such a high mass, so that the cosmic particles is even more difficult to penetrate effectively into our system.
The cosmic rays outside our solar system is increasing
Even more when they leave our milky way in the darkness of space. Within 250 million years ago our solar system travels in a circuit through our galaxy. This is called the “galactic year” (Goldständer-Tipp: Look at Wikipedia, for here is some claimed that a galactic year will have to do with an extinction of species. But it’s not sure. Even use the keyword mass extinction or mass die offs). Our galaxy ist traveling in space in the spiral arms of our galaxy. The temperatures on our planet in spiral arms is colder, while traveling outside the spiral arms they are “hotter”. Now it is clear that there was a plausible time on earth, where dinosaurs basking in the sun in the antarctic. About 70 million years ago we started our own solar system, the “Sagittarius-Spiral-Arm” to pass through. Because of the many stars in this arm, the earth itself was exposed to a higher cosmic radiation, so it came to increased cloud formation and hence the climate became colder on earth. Later formed from layers of ice and water on the earth had thus the opportunity to multiply. About 450 million years ago, it was also colder than today, and the CO2 content in the soil was approximately 10 times higher. This means CO2 could never be a real climate driver.
Question to Goldständer: Why is it so warm? And why it does not snowing?
The solar system including earth is currently on their journey in our Milky Way between two galatical arms. Logically, its getting warmer. It is the “Galactic Year” in which we are born right now. It is more raining than snowing. Accept this cycle. When the earth passes through a spiral arm again, it is logically colder. Remember: cosmic radiation generated aerosol particles. The links are now easy to recognize the fact.
Please connect the dots for yourself and learn more in this film
The secret of the clouds
And now Goldständer comes to the point and the core of all statements
Other conclusions
First – The circle is complete, the Galactic Summer is already visible now. We are in change! THIS IS THE CHANGE – Its getting warmer. It’s even more raining and not snowing anymore.
Second – The earth shall ever further out of the Galactic arm and is therefore more vulnerable.This has the consequence that we are getting more cosmic rays.
Third – The temperature on Earth and in the soil increases. That means there is more heat, expansion and volcanic eruptions. Anyone who paid attention in school: When you are heating things, they stretch out.
4th The earth is forced to grow. Everything is forced to grow in our galaxy. Learn more in the red line (many things explained in English – thank you Nasim Haramein, thank you Neal Adams) Our solar system is now born in the ”galactic summer.” Its a long process. One reason why it is not snowing, and even more raining – the CO2 around the world will be raising.
5th The galactic cycle of growth proves that with the growth of the earth also always produce more water, and clouds are formed more too.
6th The Sun is changing its chemical system in the galactic summer too. Look in the sky. The sun is getting even more brighter and its getting hotter. Everything changes in the universe – everything expands.
7th The earth does not set. It grows even more, the more it dissolves from a galactic arm. And our planet can not be flooded, because two elements in parallel multiply. (extension and more water). The water level only can fluctuate. Occasionally, in this expansionprocess ”vulnerable” countries complain by massive floods. See the Philippines, India,Pakistan, etc. - please read the thread in the golden line (many things explained in English) and make a picture of yourself,whats happening from last year until now!
8th The earth and the planets in our solar system are therefore forced to convert all. They spread out all. Read more about the growth of the planets in the red line. Don’t forget! It is getting warmer on our planet, because we are all a subject to the Galactic summer! Accept this universal cycle. The sold “esoteric change” and the “Planet X, Nibiru, etc. Story” must be checked carefully.
9th The volcanic activity is growing now more and more in the galactic summer, and the magnitudes are getting stronger. We are the part of it, and must learn that our planet is “alive” and growing.
10th I hope that you now realize that we are all lied with the CO2 story! We all pay for something that is outside the influence of man.
11th The history of the earth, and also the future must be rewritten. No one told us before this context. I spend 2 years of time in my work. Now I found the last puzzle-piece. The galactic summer is the big change – for the world, and for everyone of us.
12th The Schumann frequency on the earth will rise because our earth expands by the reasons of physical events. It has nothing to do with the “spiritual awakening”.
13th Humanity can adapt to this new situation. But the body-system needs time. In this context I find out, that chemtrails have the contract to reflect the high solar radiation. I know chemtrails are bad, but they are the lesser problem - in this “galactic cycle” humanity needs and finds more time to adapt into the new situation.
14th The face of the galactic Summer: Bird and Bees are coming back much earlier
15th The nuclear power must be shut down! As soon as possible man should leave this energy. The galactic summer is causing earthquakes. Every year they will be more violent and can destroy our power plants. The destruction would be devastating. Fukushima was just the beginning. All plants that are build on subduction zones in this world are in danger! A high level radioactive extent can endanger all humanity in evolution. Man is “forced” to convert to free energy! Please stand up and insist on free energy!
16th What is the end of time? The end of time (21st of December 2012) is not the end of the world. The end of “time” of TerenceMc Kenna is very simple to understand. Because the 21st of December is the “switch point” of the OLD TIME from 24 hours per day. From 22nd of December the day maybe will be 24 hours and 10 Minutes long. Or Maybe 24 hours and 20 Minutes per day. Some years later maybe 25 hours. The stretching and growing of the earth is getting much faster in the galactic summer. Time will not be the same like in our “frozen” time. The world melted already up from the galactic winter. From the switchpoint (21st of December) our planet is forced to speed up in growing more then ever before! The earth will stop growing, when it reaches the next galactic arm. This will be in 9 billion years! This is what the code from Terence will tell us – The law of conversation of momentum is growing with the size of the earth and all other planets in our solar system. In future a day is not 24 hours long! That’s it! This is the end of time! You all can throw away your wristwatch!
17th You couldn’t follow my context? Then come over and checkout my presentation
Task / The Evidence
The expansion and reorganization of the sun in its chemistry already can be seen. In this present age the sun is rather “white”. If you have memories of the good old days, you know that the color of the sun was “yellow”. Please go into nature and look at the sun.
Note: I translate my german text with google translate. Please learn about the content of the film and accept that our planet is “growing” in the galactic summer. We are all witness of the signs of the time. We all have to accept this galactic cycle. If you don’t understand a word in the red or golden “Line” please use Google-Translate
Please help me to spread this news – everybody must learn.

EPA regulations cause global warming ?
Reduction in air pollution from coal fired power stations due to environmental regulations since the 1980s has increased regional global warming in the Central and Eastern United States. Climate scientists from the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) found that particulate pollution, particularly from coal fired power stations, caused a global warming hole, or a large cold patch reducing temperatures by up to 1 degree C in the region, particularly lowering maximum temperatures in Summer and Autumn.

Bill Gates backs climate scientists lobbying for large-scale geoengineering
Other wealthy individuals have also funded a series of reports into the future use of technologies to geoengineer the climate

A small group of leading climate scientists, financially supported by billionaires including Bill Gates, are lobbying governments and international bodies to back experiments into manipulating the climate on a global scale to avoid catastrophic climate change.
The scientists, who advocate geoengineering methods such as spraying millions of tonnes of reflective particles of sulphur dioxide 30 miles above earth, argue that a "plan B" for climate change will be needed if the UN and politicians cannot agree to making the necessary cuts in greenhouse gases, and say the US government and others should pay for a major programme of international research.
Solar geoengineering techniques are highly controversial: while some climate scientists believe they may prove a quick and relatively cheap way to slow global warming, others fear that when conducted in the upper atmosphere, they could irrevocably alter rainfall patterns and interfere with the earth's climate.
Geoengineering is opposed by many environmentalists, who say the technology could undermine efforts to reduce emissions, and by developing countries who fear it could be used as a weapon or by rich countries to their advantage. In 2010, the UN Convention on Biological Diversity declared a moratorium on experiments in the sea and space,except for small-scale scientific studies.
Concern is now growing that the small but influential group of scientists, and their backers, may have a disproportionate effect on major decisions about geoengineering research and policy.
"We will need to protect ourselves from vested interests [and] be sure that choices are not influenced by parties who might make significant amounts of money through a choice to modify climate, especially using proprietary intellectual property," said Jane Long, director at large for the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in the US, in a paper delivered to a recent geoengineering conference on ethics.
"The stakes are very high and scientists are not the best people to deal with the social, ethical or political issues that geoengineering raises," said Doug Parr, chief scientist at Greenpeace. "The idea that a self-selected group should have so much influence is bizarre."
Pressure to find a quick technological fix to climate change is growing as politicians fail to reach an agreement to significantly reduce emissions. In 2009-2010, the US government received requests for over $2bn(£1.2bn) of grants for geoengineering research, but spent around $100m.
As well as Gates, other wealthy individuals including Sir Richard Branson, tar sands magnate Murray Edwards and the co-founder of Skype, Niklas Zennström, have funded a series of official reports into future use of the technology. Branson, who has frequently called for geoengineering to combat climate change, helped fund the Royal Society's inquiry into solar radiation management last year through hisCarbon War Room charity. It is not known how much he contributed.
Professors David Keith, of Harvard University, and Ken Caldeira of Stanford, [see footnote] are the world's two leading advocates of major research into geoengineering the upper atmosphere to provide earth with a reflective shield. They have so far received over $4.6m from Gates to run the Fund for Innovative Climate and Energy Research (Ficer). Nearly half Ficer's money, which comes directly from Gates's personal funds, has so far been used for their own research, but the rest is disbursed by them to fund the work of other advocates of large-scale interventions.
According to statements of financial interests, Keith receives an undisclosed sum from Bill Gates each year, and is the president and majority owner of the geoengineering company Carbon Engineering, in which both Gates and Edwards have major stakes – believed to be together worth over $10m.
Another Edwards company, Canadian Natural Resources, has plans to spend $25bn to turn the bitumen-bearing sand found in northern Alberta into barrels of crude oil. Caldeira says he receives $375,000 a year from Gates, holds a carbon capture patent and works for Intellectual Ventures, a private geoegineering research company part-owned by Gates and run by Nathan Myhrvold, former head of technology at Microsoft.
According to the latest Ficer accounts, the two scientists have so far given $300,000 of Gates money to part-fund three prominent reviews and assessments of geoengineering – the UK Royal Society report on Solar Radiation Management, the US Taskforce on Geoengineering and a 2009 report by Novin a science thinktank based in Santa Barbara, California. Keith and Caldeira either sat on the panels that produced the reports or contributed evidence. All three reports strongly recommended more research into solar radiation management.
The fund also gave $600,000 to Phil Rasch, chief climate scientist for thePacific Northwest national laboratory, one of 10 research institutions funded by the US energy department.
Rasch gave evidence at the first Royal Society report on geoengineering 2009 and was a panel member on the 2011 report. He has testified to the US Congress about the need for government funding of large-scale geoengineering. In addition, Caldeira and Keith gave a further $240,000 to geoengineering advocates to travel and attend workshops and meetings and $100,000 to Jay Apt, a prominent advocate of geoengineering as a last resort, and professor of engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. Apt worked with Keith and Aurora Flight Sciences, a US company that develops drone aircraft technology for the US military, to study the costs of sending 1m tonnes of sulphate particlesinto the upper atmosphere a year.
Analysis of the eight major national and international inquiries into geoengineering over the past three years shows that Keith and Caldeira, Rasch and Prof Granger Morgan the head of department of engineering and public policy at Carnegie Mellon University where Keith works, have sat on seven panels, including one set up by the UN. Three other strong advocates of solar radiation geoengineering, including Rasch, have sat on national inquiries part-funded by Ficer.
"There are clear conflicts of interest between many of the people involved in the debate," said Diana Bronson, a researcher with Montreal-based geoengineering watchdog ETC.
"What is really worrying is that the same small group working on high-risk technologies that will geoengineer the planet is also trying to engineer the discussion around international rules and regulations. We cannot put the fox in charge of the chicken coop."
"The eco-clique are lobbying for a huge injection of public funds into geoengineering research. They dominate virtually every inquiry into geoengineering. They are present in almost all of the expert deliberations. They have been the leading advisers to parliamentary and congressional inquiries and their views will, in all likelihood, dominate the deliberations of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) as it grapples for the first time with the scientific and ethical tangle that is climate engineering," said Clive Hamilton, professor of Public Ethics at the Australian National University, in a Guardian blog.
The scientists involved reject this notion. "Even the perception that [a small group of people has] illegitimate influence [is] very unhealthy for a technology which has extreme power over the world. The concerns that a small group [is] dominating the debate are legitimate, but things are not as they were," said Keith. "It's changing as countries like India and China become involved. The era when my voice or that of a few was dominant is over. We need a very broad debate."
"Every scientist has some conflict of interest, because we would all like to see more resources going to study things that we find interesting," said Caldeira. "Do I have too much influence? I feel like I have too little. I have been calling for making CO2 emissions illegal for many years, but no one is listening to me. People who disagree with me might feel I have too much influence. The best way to reduce my influence is to have more public research funds available, so that our funds are in the noise. If the federal government played the role it should in this area, there would be no need for money from Gates.
"Regarding my own patents, I have repeatedly stated that if any patent that I am on is ever used for the purposes of altering climate, then any proceeds that accrue to me for this use will be donated to nonprofit NGOs and charities. I have no expectation or interest in developing a personal revenue stream based upon the use of these patents for climate modification.".
Rasch added: "I don't feel there is any conflict of interest. I don't lobby, work with patents or intellectual property, do classified research or work with for-profit companies. The research I do on geoengineering involves computer simulations and thinking about possible consequences. The Ficer foundation that has funded my research tries to be transparent in their activities, as do I."
• This article was amended on 8 February 2012. The original stated that Phil Rasch worked for Intellectual Ventures. This has been corrected. This article was further amended on 13 February 2012. Prof Caldeira has asked us to make clear that the fact that he advocates research into geoengineering does not mean he advocates geoengineering.

More propaganda on geoengineering .
Could an artificial volcano cool the planet by dimming the sun?
First major study of practicality of planetary-scale solar radiation management concludes it is a potentially cost-effective option

Dimming the sun by engineering the effects of an artificial volcano is a feasible and potentially cost-effective option to reduce temperatures on Earth, the first major study of the practicality of planetary-scale solar radiation management (SRM) concludes.
The authors, US aerospace company Aurora Flight Sciences, consider the challenge of lifting and releasing 1-5m tonnes a year of sulphur dioxide to altitudes approaching 100,000ft. This would create sulphate particles in the thin air and provide a partial shade to the sun's rays, potentially reducing temperatures 1-2C. But no attempt is made to quantify the potential benefits or the risks involved in the likely disruption of weather patterns on earth.
The easiest, but by far the most expensive, way to launch vast quantities of sulphur dioxide into the upper atmosphere would be via batteries of 16-inch naval guns, says the report. But to lift 5m tonnes of particles a year 100,000ft into the stratosphere might need 70m gun shots a year and could cost an astronomical $700bn a year. Over 20 years, considered by many scientists the minimum needed to have a lasting effect on earth, this would be more than Africa and India together earn in a year.
Instead, the authors consider a far less expensive but technically more challenging way to lift and disperse 1-5m tonnes of sulphur particles to around 100,000ft. This would be to design and build a fleet of massive helium-filled blimps, costing $8-10bn a year to run, with each blimp costing possibly $500m. However, the technology of airships operating at this altitude is not developed.
The study, commissioned by the University of Calgary in Canada, was published 15 months ago but has received little attention so far. However, it shows how advanced SRM advocates are in their attempts to persuade governments to license large-scale experiments.
It was managed by the leading geoenegineering Harvard University scientist David Keith, one of two administrators of Bill Gates's Fund for Innovative Climate and Energy Research (Ficer) which contributed $100,000 to the study.
By far the most effective way to lift the sulphur, the study concludes, would be to adapt, or to build, a fleet of Boeing 747s aircraft. About 14 of these planes working round the clock from bases on or near the equator, might cost about $8bn a year.
The study supports the views of scientists who argue that more experiments should be done into geoengineering to prepare a "plan B" if politicians and industry fail to find a way to reduce emissions in climate talks.
"The primary conclusion to draw from this feasibility and cost study is that geoengineering is feasible from an engineering standpoint and costs are comparable to quantities spent regularly on large engineering projects or aerospace operations.
"Aeroplane geoengineering operations are comparable to the yearly operations of a small airline, and are dwarfed be the operations of a large airline like FedEx or Southwest," says the study.
Critics of political attempts to reduce emissions have long argued that it would cost hundreds of billions of dollars of investment in low-carbon energy to achieve the same results.
To date, the uncertainty and inherent riskiness of large-scale solar radiation management have not been quantified.
