The belts are a hazard for artificial satellites and are moderately dangerous for human beings, but are difficult and expensive to shield against.
The Russian physicist V.V. Danilov proposed the use of a High Voltage Orbiting Long Tether as a potential means to drain the radiation belt of high energy particles. The proposal was developed further by Robert L. Forward and involves deploying highly electrically charged tethers from satellites in orbit. Charged particles within the radiation belt encountering these tethers would be deflected by their large electrostatic fields onto paths that intersect with the atmosphere, where they would be harmlessly dissipated.[25] Simulations have suggested that the inner belt could be drained to 1% of its natural electron flux within two months of HiVOLT operation.[26]
The Radiation Belt Storm Probes spacecraft will study two swaths of space around Earth called the Van Allen Radiation belts. These belts consist of fast-moving particles whose numbers fluctuate constantly. A crucial part of a larger space weather system that stretches from the sun to Earth and beyond, the belts absorb energy and particles from the sun that can in turn harm the host of satellites that pass through the region. The belts can also pass energy on to Earth's atmosphere in ways that can in extreme cases, effectively cripple our communications systems or electric power grids.
While the most immediate practical reason for studying the radiation belts is to protect humans and precious electronics in space from geomagnetic storms and to understand our local space weather, scientists are also interested in this area for other reasons. For one thing, scientists wish to understand how energy from the radiation belts can affect the composition of Earth's atmosphere and ozone layer.
The South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) is an area where the Earth's inner Van Allen radiation belt comes closest to the Earth's surface dipping down to an altitude of 200km (124mi). This leads to an increased flux of energetic particles in this region and exposes orbiting satellites to higher than usual levels of radiation. The effect is caused by the non-concentricity of the Earth and its magnetic dipole, and the SAA is the near-Earth region where the Earth's magnetic field is weakest.

Let me say this once again. Credentials do not mean anything.
We live in a world where credenTials mean everything.
But it'll be next to impossible to verify unless some government agency says so.
Don't dismiss it until you yourself can verify its veracity. and with that, despite not knowing the truthfulness of it all. I think we can all agree we learned a little something

Also, the science he talks about makes total sense, unlike most nutcase hoaxers.
This is a YOUTUBE VIDEO....this guy had loads of time to practice and rehearse what he was going to present to the world. If you haven't noticed already there seems to be a few "glitches" in the flow of the video as if it were a quick cut and paste to edit the video.
Remember, if you speak to the public live, there is a chance that there is room for error. All I know is many people practice what they will say BEFORE they post anything. It doesn't seem to me he is speaking out on the fly.

Thank you for such a quick and amazing job researching this guys background.

That makes a lot of sense, considering that HAARP has to do with weather modification and there's a theory that chemtrails are being used to shield important microcontrollers from the effects of the sun.

The guy who posted the video said he clipped parts of it for brevity...

Yes. Which makes me think about option Nr1 and Nr2.
Thank you for using the biggest font possible. I am sure I would have missed your comment otherwise

I must admire your wizard-like attention span!
Give us this guy's name and we can check him out via the usual sources.
Oh sorry, I retract what I said. The guy gave his name. Sleeping through the video does not count.
He does not seem to be a fool.
Unfortunately, he is.
