Coal Fly Ash Geoengineering’s Role in the Global Catastrophic Bee and Insect Die-off | Chapter 09 | Recent Advances in Biological Research Vol. 1
Aims:
Bees and insects world-wide are experiencing die-offs on an unprecedented
scale. Geoengineering utilizing aerosolized coal fly ash (CFA), the toxic waste
product of coal-burning, as indicated by forensic evidence, has been overlooked
as a causal agent of their catastrophic demise. The principal objective of this
chapter is to disclose previously unrecognised factors, arising from CFA, that
underlie the catastrophic and global decline of insects.
Methods:
We conducted extensive literature research and additionally utilized
inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry.
Results:
The primary components of CFA, silicon, aluminum, and iron, consisting in part
of magnetite (Fe3O4), all have important potential toxicities to insects. Many
of the trace elements in CFA are injurious to insects; several of them (e.g.,
arsenic, mercury, and cadmium) are used as insecticides. Toxic particulates and
heavy metals in CFA contaminate air, water, and soil and thus impact the entire
biosphere. Components of CFA, including aluminum extractable in a
chemically-mobile form, have been shown to adversely affect insects in terrestrial,
aquatic, and aerial environments. Both the primary and trace elements in CFA
have been found on, in, and around insects and the plants they feed on in
polluted regions around the world. Magnetite from CFA may potentially disrupt
insect magnetoreception. Chlorine and certain other constituents of aerosolized
CFA potentially destroy atmospheric ozone thus exposing insects to elevated
mutagenicity and lethality levels of UV-B and UV-C solar radiation.
Conclusions: Coal fly ash, including
its use in covert (undisclosed) climate engineering operations, is a previously
unrecognized prime suspect in the world-wide decline of insects. CFA is a
global source of pollution known to be toxic to insects that contaminates air,
water, and soil. In fact, we suggest that of the many threats to insects, i.e,
habitat loss/degradation, pesticides, foreign species and disease, atmospheric
geoengineering, especially utilizing CFA, may well be not only the most dire,
but the most neglected and unrecognized cause of the catastrophic loss of
insects on a world-wide basis. It is necessary to expose and halt atmospheric
aerosol geoengineering to prevent further gross contamination of the biosphere.
As insect populations decline, bird populations will decline, and ultimately so
will animal populations, including humans. The gradual return of insects when
the aerial spraying is stopped will be the best evidence that aerosolized CFA
is, in fact, a leading cause of the current drastic decline in insect
population and diversity. It is necessary to expose and halt atmospheric
aerosol geoengineering to prevent further gross contamination of the biosphere.
