Analysis / Bias

In review, GeoEngineering Watch is primarily concerned with weather manipulation for sinister means and the use of HAARP. For example, they claim that the devastating hurricane Florence was manipulated by Microwaves Transmissions and that the government is using Chemtrails for control of the environment as well. Throw in some anti-vax hysteria, and you have yourself a truly tin foil-quackery website.

Failed Fact Checks

• “The intentional dimming of direct sunlight by aircraft dispersed particles, a form of global warming mitigation known as “Solar Radiation Management”, has and is causing catastrophic damage to the planet’s life support systems.” – Inaccurate

Overall, GeoEngineering Watch is a one of the kind conspiracy and pseudoscience website. This one has few rivals in how far they will go to sell unproven, misleading claims regarding GeoEngineering. (8/10/2016) Updated (D. Van Zandt 08/01/2024)
