Update 6/9/2014: More concise debunking, including the latest "confirmed" claim, at:

At his Geoengineeringwatch website and on a Global Skywatch Conference call on 7/29/13, Dane Wigington is claiming that measurements of ultraviolet radiation are "Off the Charts":
This is the data he presents:

I expect that the title of this thread will eventually be changed to Debunked: Dane Wigington's Claims That UV is "Off The Charts".
Have a look and see what you find.
Some preliminary comments:
1. He claims that the increase in UV is due to a decrease in ozone from "spraying", but rather than measure Total Column Ozone and showing a decrease, he is only displaying some measurements of UV.
2. As usual, we get no information on who actually took the measurements, what sort of instrument was used and whether or not it was calibrated or operated properly.
3. Some clue about the instrument and calibration might be found in this comment:
"The metering performed in Northern California, on which this statement is based, was done by a pair of identical state-of-the-art, brand-new, science-grade meters guaranteed to be scientifically calibrated to a range within 4%. As stated earlier in this article, the tech who did this metering is a 40- year veteran in environmental measurement and interpretation."
This could be Francis Mangels, who has previously been found to make bogus claims.
In his article, Wigington does challenge the public to investigate his claims:

Off The Chart UV Levels Not Being Disclosed

So, How Bad Can It Get? Just when it seemed the negative news surrounding global geoengineering could not get any worse, it absolutely can and is.
We have known for some time that the UV levels were getting rapidly worse due to the ongoing atmospheric spraying. Anyone that is even slightly awake and aware has noticed that the sun feels incredibly intense on the skin. Most varieties of plant life are showing at least some signs of stress in most areas. In many regions, whole forests are in steep decline. And its getting worse by the day.
Although extreme drought and toxic rains (due in large part to the heavy metal fallout from geoengineering) are taking their toll, recent metering of UV levels in Northern California indicate that there is an element in this die off that is far worse than we had realized, an incomprehensibly high level of UV radiation.
With the assistance of a very generous and conscientious individual, geoengineeringwatch.org purchased top-of-the-line UV metering equipment which was put in the hands of a 40-year environmental metering veteran, with 20 years government experience and 20 years as a private consultant. Our findings are far beyond shocking.

Do your own honest investigation and find out.
