The GLOBE Program
I have been aware of this program for sometime now and must say I wished such a program had been available many years ago when I was at school.
So then what is the GLOBE Program?
The GLOBE program is a worldwide hands-on, primary and secondary school-based education and science program.
Taken from the GLOBE website:
| Quote: | For Students, GLOBE provides the opportunity to learn by:
• Taking scientifically valid measurements in the fields of atmosphere, hydrology, soils, and land cover/phenology - depending upon their local curricula
• Reporting their data through the Internet
• Creating maps and graphs on the free interactive Web site to analyse data sets
• Collaborating with scientists and other GLOBE students around the world |
Who is involved in GLOBE?
| Quote: | GLOBE is a cooperative effort of schools, led in the United States by a Federal interagency program supported by NASA, NSF and the U.S. State Department, in partnership with colleges and universities, state and local school systems, and non-government organizations. Internationally, GLOBE is a partnership between the United States and over 100 other countries.
Over a million primary and secondary students in more than 15,000 schools have taken part in the program; there are more than 28,000 GLOBE-trained teachers and those numbers are growing!
Parents and others can work with teachers to help students obtain data on days when schools are not open. |
New Zealand Involvement:
New Zealand joined the GLOBE project on 28 February 2000 when the Minister of Education Trevor Mallard joined the U.S. Ambassador Carol Moseley Braun in a special ceremony to initiate the participation of New Zealand in GLOBE. New Zealand Schools are heavily involved in this project and at last count there were 109 Schools participating in the program.

Links with the New Zealand Curriculum
GLOBE New Zealand offers year one to year thirteen students learning opportunities that would not normally be available in schools and supports, as well as environmental education, learning in information and communications technology and the curriculum areas of; science, mathematics, social studies and technology. Students participate in the programme at many levels with teaching and learning activities covering a diversity of interests.
Geographical Coverage
GLOBE New Zealand is a network of more than 100 schools throughout the country stretching from Kaitaia to Invercargill including schools on offshore islands such as Great Barrier and schools in the Cook Islands. Schools participating in the program are encouraged to join a geographic cluster for support and resource sharing. Regional clusters of schools are supported by a team of regionally based GLOBE Mentor teachers.
The official GLOBE NZ site is here:

What a wonderful oportunity for our young to get involved in the sciences and environmental studies.

Contrail Education
As part of the GLOBE Program students (children) are required to observe and report contrail activity. There are a number of “contrail” resources available to teachers and students. The above image is the NASA GLOBE logo from their ”Contrail Education” page located here:
http://asd-www.larc.nasa.gov/GLOBE/resources/
On the page linked below, notice how “contrails” are placed in the “High Cloud” (cirrus) section implying they are a normal cloud formation and not in the “Unusual Cloud” section to the right side of the page.
http://asd-www.larc.nasa.gov/SCOOL/cldchart.html
There are many hundreds of signatories and partners both US and international involved with the GLOBE Program, “contrails” feature highly in their research.
NASA with a budget of US$16 billion plus and the NSF (National Science Foundation) $5.5 billion are but two main players. It just makes me wonder why many thousands of Schools world wide are being used to gather amongst other data, “contrail” data.
With the many military and civilian satellites and other numerous (unlimited!) resources at the disposal of the participating Governments, civilian agencies, Universities etc why are children being asked to submit “contrail” data?
Of interest here is some of the data from the submitted research in relation to “contrails” for the GLOBE Earth Day 2004 Contrail Count-a-Thon. Note there are next to no “persistent contrails”!
World
Europe
USA
http://asd-www.larc.nasa.gov/GLOBE/Count/count-a-thon.html
I wonder if there is a Military connection/motive for such research?

It could be a ploy to make people, especially children, think chemtrails are just contrails and therefore no further questions required. If children are told by those in authority that a chemtrail is a contrail and no other information is offered, they are most likely to believe it. Many adults are none the wiser or interested and wouldn't question either. It would give the authorities liberty to carry on spraying ad infinitum with no complaints.
I hear the term 'dumbing down' being used often with regards to the education system in America. If NASA is involved I already feel sceptical as to its real motives. Just looking at the Persisent Contrails page on the Contrail Education already smacks of disinformation. :shock:
As for the satellite images - well its just laughable :lol:

Talk about trying to re educating our young. You could see how they could be using this to convince a whole new generation that contrails are normal.
It's a bit like some of this Illuminati stuff when you look into it (there is a saying that go's along the lines of "to keep something hidden put it right in their face).
Hopefully sites like this will show the truth, and not the fiction that is often published. |

Exactly my thoughts -' it's being put in your face'. Don't be sheep people.

Hi Carus,
Your comment:
| Quote: | | As for the satellite images - well its just laughable |
Yes I agree it is.
NASA, the US Military etc have the technology and the hardware to obtain “contrail” satellite imagery anytime, day, night, totally overcast etc as seen in these couple of images. Left is a standard infrared satellite image showing cloud coverage. Right is a double-wavelength infrared image revealing the underlying contrails.
Now there are approximately 5,500 civilian satellites of all descriptions (communications, weather imaging etc) and goodness knows how many Military satellites orbiting or in stationary orbit above the earth, so why then do they need more that 15,000 schools and more than a million pupils world wide to do research for them, I’m curious?

Hi Azimuth,
Interesting information.
Can you imagine the implications of this type of education......
When looking over the Lesson Plans within the web site (Contrail Education - Resources link) it all looks quite normal, even fun. However if one is studying clouds and contrails that are abnormally formed, then one is learning under false pretenses.
The explanations and photographs of these things are misleading and doesn't properly present other factors such as flight paths being in an irregular direction.
| Quote: | | This star pattern of intersecting contrails is actually not that unusual; at least in some parts of the country. Under the current air traffic control system, planes fly along specific "highways in the sky" which intersect at certain points over navigational beacons. |
What's this about navigational beacons?
It seems to me that the more people get told these things 'are just normal contrails' the more they are accepted as such and if evidence was presented down the track to the contrary they would fight harder to maintain their accepted belief.
A little bit like finding out Santa Clause and the Tooth Fairy don't exist.

Subliminal Messages in Advertising
Indeed Carus, all part of conditioning the mind of the young.
Here are a couple of Chemtrail adverts from the States. I would hardly call them subliminal but more in your face. However the effect of normalising Chemtrails/contrails is the same.
This one is a Blue Cross Blue Shield Health Insurers Advert
and a Beer advert
Here is the link to the full story:
http://www.bariumblues.com/blue_cross.htm
I’m sure there are many New Zealand examples of this form of advertising as well.

| Jeez I hope people don't get sucked in by these adverts. If anybody finds some more I would like to see them. On those navigation beacons and the intersecting con/chem trails I find my initial reaction is "yeah right". I'm sure there is some truth in intersecting flight paths but they will be a different altitudes with usually several thousand feet separation. To find three (or more) intersecting like that seems pretty hard to believe that it has anything to do with navigation beacons. Does anybody have any flight experience that can add any info on this? |
