Title: Is geoengineering destroying life?
Post by: smart on 16/12/2015 20:53:40
Geoengineering is a covert operation to induce artificial climate changes and regulate the environment through emissions of coal fly-ash particles in the troposphere.

Moreover the possibility that theses classified nanoparticles affect human health is controversial, despite studies which demonstrated that such nanoparticles can have a impact on human physiology: http://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/12/8/9375/htm

Is therefore existing a dual-purpose to geoengineering in systematically altering Earth albedo ?

Could geoengineering modify the ecosystem and destroy life based on the imperatives of climate changes ?

I believe that the mass media cover up of geoengineering is an evidence that theses operations are done to systematically alter Earth albedo, thus inducing large-scale modifications of the climate and causing arbitrary damage to the ecosystems.

I have become aware of theses large-scale climate modifications by observing how cumulus clouds are artificially seeded by military aircrafts spraying (coal fly ash) aerosol particles in the atmosphere. The observed effect is a global dimming or reduction of the sun radiative energy and cooling on Earth surface.

I believe that 9/11 is an important historical event in the geoengineering timeline. Mass medias (owned by global corporations) are likely to cooperate into Putin/Obama plans to globally orchestrate geoengineering through United Nations climate changes framework.

At this time, geoengineering is recognized as a temporary "hack" to reduce global temperature rise. But everyone realizes that it will have unforseeable consequences, there will be winners and losers, and there is always the fear that it could be turned into a weapon.

There are various international conventions that could be read as banning geoengineering (or they could also be read as requiring it!). So at this point in time, there is an unofficial moratorium on geoengineering projects.

The SPICE project (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratospheric_sulfate_aerosols_(geoengineering)#Outdoors_research) in the UK designed techniques that could be used for geoengineering, but it was canceled before it could field test some of the equipment it had developed.

Meanwhile, in what could be considered a large-scale, uncontrolled, non-covert experiment in geoengineering, humans are pumping more CO2 into the atmosphere than we ever have before. There is also considerable SO2 from high sulphur fuels, which have largely been regulated for land use, but are still widely used to power container ships.

In a more controlled experiment, the Montreal Protocol is causing us to emit less CFCs into the atmosphere than we did 20 years ago. These are potent greenhouse gases, as well as destroying the ozone layer.

One thing about particles in the atmosphere is rain will wash these particles from the sky. Water in clouds often uses micron sized particles as nucleation centers, onto which a water droplet will form. Rain can also extract CO2 and other gases like SO2, since these will react with water to form acids, which are now liquids at room temperature.

Thanks, I appreciate your criticism; But i'm convinced that the war on terror and geoengineering may well be connected through evidences of state-sponsored chemical terrorism. Thus, the dual-purposes of geoengineering may lie in the systematic modification of biodiversity through chemical injections of engineered aerosols with probable effects on human physiology. The effects of theses solid aerosols on human neurocognitive functions and behavior probably explain the cover up of mass media using cognitive dissonance and disinformation to coerce the use of geoengineering for climate changes.

Comparing geoengineering to marijuana smoking is not a rational argument to disapprove the probable effects of geoengineering on living organisms; It only remind me that Marijuana is a potential neuroprotective agent against chemically-induced adverse effects of solar geoengineering.

I'm not sure I understand your metaphor completely, but the following explain well the fundamental issue
with geoengineering weaponization:


"Another form of unilateral action is military use of the technology. In fact, the weaponization of
geoengineering is not unprecedented; the United States artificially induced rain to cause flooding during
the Vietnam War [Robock,2008].
The issue of weaponization has since been addressed by the U.N.
Convention on the Prohibition of Military or Any Other Hostile Use of Environmental Modification
Techniques which has 85 signatory nations [Robock, 2008].
Engineered nanoparticles would be desirable from a military standpoint since particle characteristics like atmospheric lifetime could be tailored to suit weapons applications.
Nanoscientists would be faced with the possibility that their work could be misappropriated for military use"

if the government views climate engineering to be a net benefit but with some obvious negative health effects, we should be pressuring government to be up front about it so we as individuals can atleast prepare our bodies for the abuse life throws at it, physiological health is very adaptable when properly trained just as psychological health is also very adaptable when properly educated, the mind and body are extraordinary resistance machines designed to be used and abused for our pleasure

i have a much bigger problem with the lazy big pharma industry scheming with the government to hold a monopoly on drugs via criminalization, if big pharma cannot create a superior product than nature then big pharma does not deserve our money, in reality the immensely talented opium farmers in afghanistan should be the ones paid the billions currently being extorted by the western pharmaceutical-law enforcement war machine

Inhaling fumes from smoking is a choice, but breathing fresh air is mandatory for living organisms. I think governments should not jeopardize public health for political reasons like global warming.

Quote
While academicians debate geoengineering as an activity that might potentially be needed in the future [2,3], evidence suggests that Western governments/militaries moved ahead with a full scale operational geoengineering program. But instead of mining and milling rock to produce artificial volcanic ash in sufficient volumes to cool the planet, they adopted a low-cost, pragmatic alternative, but one with consequences far more dire to life on Earth than global warming might ever be, and used coal combustion fly ash. To make matters worse, instead of placing the material high into the stratosphere, where there is minimal mixing and the substance might remain suspended for a year or more, they opted to spray coal fly ash into the lower atmosphere, the troposphere, which mixes with the air people breathe and gets rained down to ground.

Evidence of Coal-Fly-Ash Toxic Chemical Geoengineering in the Troposphere: Consequences for Public Health http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4555286/

NB: This paper has been retracted, but it remains highly informative. I guess research on the toxicity of geoengineering is controversial because of the pervasive nature of such activity on public health. In addition, identification of coal combustion fly ash as the primary particulate being released in the troposphere is a major scientific discovery!

The best indications are that the material used in the program is a white powder that comes dirt cheap to the government from the coal-burning utilities that produce millions of tons of coal fly ash every year. The official sun-enhancing and sun-altering pollution over Hamilton County is euphemistically called CCR, or combustion coal residual. It is toxic, and contains aluminum, arsenic and other pollutants, according to J. Marvin Herndon, a scientist in San Diego who does not rely on government funding for his research.

The TVA coal-fired plant at Gallatin produces 130,000 tons of coal waste daily. It is in the news this week for bringing on line its last of four selective catalytic reduction devices to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions in Middle Tennessee. TVA has spent three years and F$730 million on the project. Earlier scrubber projects have taken care of reducing fly ash emissions. Nearly half of fly ash production is recycled, with some evidently being purchased by government agents for the current stratospheric aerosol geoengineering program I have covered here since April 2014.

Notes:
- Barium titanate is produced from coal fly ash.
- Barium titanate appears to be a potassium channel blocker:

Quote
Barium is a competitive potassium channel antagonist that blocks the passive efflux of intracellular potassium, resulting in a shift of potassium from extracellular to intracellular compartments. The intracellular translocation of potassium results in a decreased resting membrane potential, making the muscle fibers electrically unexcitable and causing paralysis. Some of these barium's effects may also be due to barium induced neuromuscular blockade and membrane depolarization.

Arsenic is a neurotoxicant. The biotoxicity of geoengineering is undeniable.

Quote
Arsenic toxicity is a worldwide health concern as several millions of people are exposed to this toxicant via drinking water, and exposure affects almost every organ system in the body including the brain. Recent studies have shown that even low concentrations of arsenic impair neurological function, particularly in children. This review will focus on the current epidemiological evidence of arsenic neurotoxicity in children and adults, with emphasis on cognitive dysfunction, including learning and memory deficits and mood disorders. We provide a cohesive synthesis of the animal studies that have focused on neural mechanisms of dysfunction after arsenic exposure including altered epigenetics; hippocampal function; glucocorticoid and hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) pathway signaling; glutamatergic, cholinergic and monoaminergic signaling; adult neurogenesis; and increased Alzheimer’s-associated pathologies. Finally, we briefly discuss new studies focusing on therapeutic strategies to combat arsenic toxicity including the use of selenium and zinc.

Although seemingly unacknowledged in publicly accessible reports and in scientific literature as a potential material for geoengineering, coal fly ash is one major global waste product stream with the appropriate grain-size distribution for aerosolized tropospheric spraying that is readily available at extremely low cost and with existent processing and transport infrastructure. The author submits the following hypothesis: Coal fly ash is most likely the aerosolized particulate sprayed in the troposphere by tanker-jets for geoengineering, weather-modification and climate-modification purposes

The ultra-fine particles of aerosolized coal fly ash do not remain at tanker-jet operational altitudes: they mix with and pollute the air people breathe. Tropospheric aerosol coal fly ash can potentially endanger humans through two primary routes: (1) ingestion of rainwater-extract of coal fly ash toxins, directly or after concentration by evaporation and (2) particulate intake through inhalation or through contact with the eyes or skin [20]. In the latter instance, harm to humans can arise from in situ body-fluid extraction of coal fly ash toxins [21] as well as from the consequences of tissue contact [22]. Coal fly ash that is PM2.5 is readily entrained in terminal airways and alveoli and retained in the lungs for long periods of time; the small grain size enables it to penetrate and reach deep within the airways where it can cause inflammation and pulmonary injury [23].

Coal fly ash contains a host of potentially leachable toxins, including aluminum, arsenic, barium, beryllium, boron, cadmium, chromium (III), chromium (IV), cobalt, lead, manganese, mercury, selenium, strontium, thallium, thorium, and uranium. Coal fly ash has been described as being more radioactive than nuclear waste [24]. Moreover, many of the most toxic elements are enriched in the PM2.5 component of coal fly ash [25]. Whether or not the coal fly ash used for geoengineering is selectively enriched in PM2.5 is not known, but enrichment in the small particle size fraction would be advantageous in yielding greater surface area for sunlight reflection.

CFA is cheap material. Dumping coal fly ash in the troposhere to offset global warming may have an impact on the environment and public health. I suggest you read up this paper to expand your knowledge on the risks and toxicity of geoengineering:

I'd say human stupidity is infinite. However, it seems secret societies have subverted democratic governments to promote their silly ideology. Anyways, I think the truth on geoengineering should probably become more obvious as scientific research now puts forward strong evidences of the toxicity of geoengineering, whether you like it or not...

In the absence of viable other sources, the evidence is that the coal fly ash is likely the substance being placed in the atmosphere by tanker jets. That is consistent with the nature of the material, and its availability from existing production facilities. Yes, this needs to be proven conclusively. But it is a misrepresentation to state “is not clear what the source of these chemicals is”. Science involves the progressive replacing of less precise understanding with more precise understanding. Indeed, much of the current underlying understanding in the natural physical sciences is in a sense “preliminary” and subject to revision by subsequent more precise understanding, but that is no reason or basis to prevent publication of relevant evidence.

The retraction of Herndon paper provide evidences that a organization is committed to promote ignorance and deception about the toxicity of geoengineering.

Instead of calling for debate on a future hypothetical, in my view McNutt should be calling for a Nuremberg-like Tribunal to bring to trial those responsible for the on-going toxic spraying which, I allege, constitutes crimes against humanity and crimes against Earth’s biota.

The dumping of coal fly ash particles in the troposhere constitute a crime against humanity: The pseudoscience of climate change is a fraud to create ignorance and deceit about this criminal activity.

The true conspiracy theory is the non-sense idea that "contrails, or condensation trails, are "streaks of condensed water vapor created in the air by an airplane or rocket at high altitudes". The clandestine geoengineering hypothesis of Dr. Marvin Herndon at least provide an intelligent explanation to this phenomenon. Thus, I believe either you're being disinformed or you refuse to admit the toxicity of geoengineering, even when confronted to a peer-reviewed scientific study.

No. Broadly speaking the suggestion of using ultrasonic nozzles has been documented.
Just because someone looked at the possibility of doing something is no reason to believe that it is actually in use.
There's one notable point from that report "Using existing U.S. military fighter and tanker planes, the
annual costs of injecting aerosol precursors into the lower stratosphere would be several billion
dollars" So it would cost a lot of money.

Well, this is just about plausible " to cool the planet and reduce global warming. "

The "gap" effect could be the result of silver iodide vapor emitted from the heat of burning charcoal. Coal fly ash is a natural source of charcoal...

Quote
To produce silver iodide smoke, charcoal is burned in a stream of air. The heat of burning charcoal vaporizes the silver iodide at the surface. The resultant silver iodide vapor is rapidly condensed and diluted by the moving air stream to form an invisible smoke.

There's some really spectacular wrongness there.
Planes do not run on carcoal
Cola fly ash has little or no carbon (that was burned off to leave ash- hence the name) and so it certainly isn't much like charcoal.
Also CFA isn't natural.
Silver iodide doesn't boil below bright red to white hot- so the back end of the engines would melt if you tried to vapourise it.
There's every chance that it would decompose on vaporisation too- especially in the presence of water vapour. (That's why they used charcoal- not much water- unlike the exhaust from a jet engine.)
It's also expensive and as corrosives as anything if its damp.

"the use of silver iodide smoke to create artificial clouds is not new."
I suspect that you are getting muddled- AgI is used (at least experimentally) for seeding clouds to form rain- but it's not much good at making clouds in the first place.

"Ash used as a cement replacement must meet strict construction standards, but no standard environmental regulations have been established in the United States. 75% of the ash must have a fineness of 45 µm or less, and have a carbon content, measured by the loss on ignition (LOI), of less than 4%."

Ok, lets sort something out here. There is some small amount of usage of things like silver iodide to seed clouds and that's geoengineering in a sense.
There's evidence for that- it woks (poorly) it's expensive.
There is also some anecdotal evidence that the former Soviet union used cement as a means to disperse clouds so that they didn't rain on their parades.
It's also not very effective, but, at least, it's a lot cheaper than AgI.

You seem to not understand that such intervention is weather modification, rather than what you claim- which is climate modification.

But you seem to be wittering on about fly ash (which you are trying to pretend is like charcoal) and sulphate aerosols.
Well, if "the government" decided that it wanted sulphate aerosols it could hypothetically produce them by screwing up jet engines with corrosive chemicals.
Or it could simply relax the requirements for flue gas desulphurisation.
Do you have some plausible reason why they are doing it the expensive, impractical way?
Do you have any plausible reason why they are doing it at all?

What you seem not to understand is that the scientific literature tells you what is possible.
It does not tell you what is actually being done.

And, for the record, dimethyl sulphate is still just not stable in water. It never was, it never will be.

Climate change is a political problem. The real reason why climate change is occuring is debatable. However, coal fly ash reuse could be profitable. I think this is yet another reason they must use this substance for geoengineering purpose: it's a cheap and practical way to spray sulfuric acid in the troposhere.

Indeed. The research from Dr. Marvin Herndon tells us why coal fly ash is the possible particulate being sprayed:
Quote
Although seemingly unacknowledged in publicly accessible reports and in scientific literature as potential material for geoengineering, coal fly ash is one major global waste product stream with the appropriate grain-size distribution for aerosolized tropospheric spraying that is readily available at extremely low cost and with existent processing and transport infrastructure.

Wrong. dimethyl sulfate is water soluble. Also, monomethyl sulfate decomposes itself in water to sulfuric acid. This is probably the method used to spray sulfuric acid into the troposhere by using low-cost coal fly ash particulates to react with water.

No. dms and monomethyl sulfate are both carcinogenic compounds (chemical weapons).

If the "coal fly ash" hypothesis is true, this could mean geoengineering is a large-scale attempt to induce genocide using an experimental method and military-grade chemical agents.

Monomethyl- and dimethyl- sulphates are not stable in water.
No matter how often you mention them, they don't hang round.

You seem not to understand that coal ash is made at very high temperatures in the presence of air.
If there were any dimethyl sulphate in it, then it would boil and/ or burn off  before it left the furnace.
So, no alkyl sulphates are present in coal ash.
If there were any present, they would be destroyed by water.

So there is no plausible "coal ash hypothesis".

And even if there were, you would still need to explain why he politicians are poisoning everyone- including themselves.

Again, the most likely sulfate aerosol precursor is coal fly ash. Commercial planes don't emit SO2 particles from their engines.

Geoengineering is a failure from our governments to look at the real causes of climate change.

The denial of geoengineering effects on public health is promoting ignorance, deception and disinformation.

This is clearly not true. Lee's study demonstrated the presence of dimethyl sulfate in coal fly ash.

Coal fly ash is a dried powder. The burning process of coal is different from the process of tropospheric injection which uses a nozzle to spray the aerosol as a vapor.

There's no boiling which occurs with ultrasonic nozzles. The coal fly ash is released through the troposphere producing sulfate aerosols (SO2).

This is a bogus analysis of how coal fly ash gets vaporised. Theres no heat or burning occuring with ultrasonication. It would be unsafe in my opinion to burn coal to obtain fly ash in flight.

Stop yacking on about it being vapourised. Practically nobody vaporises coal ash- the boiling point is stupidly high. Why would you bother?

Coal ash does not contain stuff that would boil and or burn off in a fire.

Are you deliberately trolling, or just not bright enough to understand that water destroys dimethyl sulphate and so it doesn't manufacture it?

The DMS which is really a sulphate aerosol precursor us dimethyl sulPHIDE.
It's produced in nature by things like decaying seaweed.

And it's oxidised and hydrolysed to form sulphuric acid (and things like CO2, methanol and formaldehyde).
There might even be some dimethyl sulphate made along the way, but it won't last because it will be destroyed by water.
If someone were adding dimethyl sulphate to teh iar it would 9quite quickly) react to form sulphuric acid which does promote aerosol formation.
Now, since I have never said otherwise, it's plainly inaccurate for you to say "I think you're acting plain silly in ignoring the fact that DMS is a sulfate aerosol precursor."

What I'm saying is that nobody is adding dimethyl sulphate to the atmosphere.
In particular, they are not adding it  by adding coal fly ash - because coal fly ash hasn't got dimethyl sulphate in it.
And among  the reasons foir this is that
if you wanted aerosols of sulphates- three's an easy way to get sulphate into the air. Just relax teh requirements for scrubbing flue gases.
On the other hand,iit is known to cause problems
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_rain

If you want to add it further up you could add some sulphur compounds to jet fuel.
In fact it's easier than that, you could (again) relax teh requirements to remove the sulphur.
And you could add it as any of lots of sulphur containing chemicals- but dimethyl sulphate would be a stupid cjoice- when it gets wet (and everything does) it would produce sulphuric acid. You don't want that in fuel tanks on planes.
And it's horribly toxic an and expansive.

So, nothing you hav suggested makes any real sense

I have tried many times to show you evidences of clandestine geoengineering activity. But your attitude is the problem.

Chemtrails are not the product of my imagination.

The wishful thinking is your attitude regarding the existence and purpose of geoengineering. IE: For what reason they would spray water vapor?

Facts needs no evidences...

The purpose of spraying water vapor is nonsense.Cloud seeding is not based on water vapor condensation but on chemical aggregation of aerosolized nanoparticles.

Do you actually read what is posted?
At this stage, only an idiot would think that anyone is suggesting that they spray water.

What they do is burn fuel.

Though there are other factors- if the air is supersaturated it may be prompted to condense by just about anything, including the violent agitation of having a plane fly through it.

Also re. " Cloud seeding is not based on water vapor condensation"
Wrong.
That's excactly what it is based on.

No, jet fuel do not produces cloud condensation nuclei (CCNs), even if the saturation of hydrocarbons is low.

I disagree: Cloud seeding is chemical modification of the atmosphere to create CCNs using secondary organic aerosols (sulfates) emissions.

This is incorrect. Clouds are not created by jet fuel. Jet fuel vapor generates hydrocarbons and microscopic amounts of water.

Wrong. Not all planes emits aerosolized nanoparticles. If this would be the case, commercial planes would contribute in solar radiation management. The chemical clumping behavior is a proof that stratospheric aerosol injection uses engineered nanoparticles to create cloud condensation nucleis (CCNs). A more likely hypothesis is the use of coal fly ash particles to nucleate ice.

"The chemical clumping behavior is a proof that stratospheric aerosol injection uses engineered nanoparticles to create cloud condensation nucleis (CCNs)."
You have provided no evidence that this clumping exists in the trail we see behind aircraft. Since you have not shown that it exists, it's not proof of anything.

"A more likely hypothesis is the use of coal fly ash particles to nucleate ice."

The most likely reason for fine fly ash in the air is that it's coming out of the chimneys of power plants.
How could they avoid it doing so?

I have posted pictures of the chemical clumping behavior associated with stratospheric aerosol injection in other threads. You just keep lying and repeating your nonsense mantra to pretend evidences do not exists.

By the way, water emissions from "jet fuel" combustion cannot possibly clump together and persist in the atmosphere for several minutes: There's simply not enough water (30ppm) in jet fuel to become a source of persistent aerosol. http://www.liquisearch.com/jet_fuel/water_in_jet_fuel

And for the records jet fuel is not used for geoengineering purposes. It's a silly idea to compare apples with oranges.

The clumping behavior of "particles" is a proof of the existence of a aerial dispersion system
mounted on military airplanes. 

Anyways, the popularity of this thread and others indicates that chemtrails/geoengineering is a controversial issue, requiring intelligent comments over the pseudoscientific voodoo that you advocate.

Are you deliberately acting stupid, or is it not an act?
Burning hydrocarbons produces water (and CO2)

The water formed actually weighs more than the jet fuel.
For example, taking decane as a representative hydrocarbon
2C10H22 +31O2 → 22H2O + 20CO2

284 grams of decane produces 396 grams of water.

"And for the records jet fuel is not used for geoengineering purposes."
You have yet to show any evidence that anything is used for geoengineering (on anything but a tiny scale)

It's pathetic how your attitude is preventing you to become more intelligent.... I won't shut up and resign to your ignorance about clandestine geoengineering activity. Your ignorance and stubborn attitude is evidence that the brainwashing is working well. Anyways, planes will never create clouds the way you describe it. It is a pure lie to advocate such nonsense.

I don't think you are lying about it (I might be wrong, but if you are then you are a very determined troll).
I just think (based on some of the really stupid things you have said) that you are not bright enough to understand that you are wrong, and that you don't even realise that you don't understand what evidence is.
You have, for example, cited this thread as evidence that you are right. Well, look back through it and you will find that the only other significant contributions to the thread have agreed with me and pointed out that you are plainly wrong. If you look elsewhere on the site the same is true- nobody who agrees with you gets taken seriously.
That's very simple to explain- you are just laughably wrong.

Unless, and until you actually come up with evidence, is is you who is rejecting science.
You don't help yourself when you say dismally stupid things like "There's simply not enough water (30ppm) in jet fuel to become a source of persistent aerosol."

So, once again
Show us evidence that the clouds left by planes are not just water, or shut up.

It's perfectly simple- if you don't want to be told to shut up, all you have to do is provide actual evidence.
I'm not asking for hogwash like you have provided before, and I wonder if you are bright enough to understand what evidence actually is.
For example, if we were discussing the presence of water on Mars and you said "There must be water there- because the Martians need water to drink, do you understand that isn't actually evidence of water on Mars?

Water Vapor
Chemtrails debunker claim that new jet plane produce more water vapor and this make them produce trails that persist more. But they also claim that most of the water vapor required for trails to build is already exist in the atmosphere.

The truth is water vapor / ice crystal already exist in large amount in the sky. The change of engine efficiency should only change the trails persistent by small percentage, not in seconds vs hours. The addition of small water vapor by the jet output will not suddenly make persistent trails. Aerosol, temperature and humidity also play part in the build up or persistent trails.

In the same manner, huge storage tank in the plane is not required to make chemtrails.

http://www.thetruthdenied.com/news/2012/04/02/chemtrails-debunker-are-wrong/

You seem to forget in your utter arrogance that following chemtrails spraying, which almost occur on a daily basis in Quebec, this physicochemical process alter atmospheric composition and generates extreme weather conditions. Ordinary planes (not military) don't alter the weather. Therefore it is incredibly stupid to believe commercial planes generates cirrus "aviaticus" clouds. 

What is happening is stratospheric injection of aerosol to alter weather conditions, whether you like it or not.     

Thus, I think you're the one that should shut up or bring evidences that commercial planes are generating so-called  "cirrus aviaticus". Otherwise I think you simply underestimate reality in hope to convince yourself of your wishful thinking or delusions. In others words: your logic is flawed.

Clandestine geoengineering activity is evidence that the world is being ruled by a globalist organization dedicated in using psychochemical warfare for destroying life. It is not a conspiracy theory, but a well-known fact that geoengineering is illegal and potentially harmful to the environment and humans. We need to investigate what is the synthetic nature of the compounds used for altering the weather and stop pretending it is water vapor; a nonsense theory with no scientific value.

Bored chemist, I'm questioning your motivations for claiming that chemtrails do not exists. Is it because you fear the implications of clandestine geoengineering activity or lacking the capacity to identify the nature of an evidence? The Internet is evidence that chemtrails exists globally... It doesn't matter if the informations is from a so-called conspiracy website: Your own motivations for pretending that the "clouds left by planes are water vapor" is evidence of systemic disinformation.   

I think you either absolutely have no idea what you're talking about or your attitude is preventing you to reasonate intelligently. If you're feeling comfortable with your level of intelligence, I feel sorry for you that you're unable to progress further. Let's just hope the readers of this thread can decide for themselves if geoengineering is really destroying life.

OK, It seems your big problem is that you don't know what evidence actually is.
Claiming there is geoengineering (which you have done) is not the same as providing evidence for it (which you have not done).


"Bored chemist, I'm questioning your motivations for claiming that chemtrails do not exists. Is it because you fear the implications of clandestine geoengineering activity or lacking the capacity to identify the nature of an evidence?"
No, it's neither.
You are the one who can't understand what evidence is.

OK lets us start at the beginning. Read through this and let me know where you stop agreeing with the facts.

1 Jet planes- commercial or otherwise- burn a lot of jet fuel. (It's of the order of 2 to 10 kg/km https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_economy_in_aircraft#Example_Values  )
2 That jet fuel is essentially entirely made from hydrocarbons.  ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_fuel )
3 Burning hydrocarbons produces more water (by weight) than the jet fuel you start with. (I explained this earlier in the thread)
4 The exhaust from the jet thus contains a lot of water vapour. ( Where else could it be)
5 The exhaust from a jet engine is hot. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_engine#Propelling_nozzle)
6 It is very cold (typically well below freezing) at the altitudes where aircraft fly. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapse_rate )
7 If you mix hot warm air with cold air the moisture condenses (you can see this when your breath "steams" on a cold day. ( )
8 the hot wet exhaust gas from the engines mixes with the cold air and the moisture condenses. (how could it not do?)
9 That condensation forms a long thin cloud of very small water droplets behind the plane. (Where else?)
10 You can see that cloud from the ground ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_economy_in_aircraft#/media/File:Aircraft.in.cruise.arp.jpg )

11 this works without any magic nozzles, additives, nanoparticulate unicorns or any other mumbo jumbo.

(I'm ignoring the shock wave induced condensation for the minute- we can come back to that once you realise that a plane leaves a trail in very cold air- just like you do by breathing on a cold day)

Chemtrails progressively generates overcast conditions. This is "evidence" that whatever substance being sprayed is altering atmospheric conditions. A normal contrail will not progressively dim the sun and cool the weather. By the way, your analysis is correct for describing a contrail, which cannot be seen under normal conditions.

I have seen them. I said I saw them.
What evidence do you have for calling me a liar?

Also, since you can see your breath on a cold day, why would the much bigger cloud from a jet be invisible.
Not only is your assertion libellous- it's absurd.

There's another problem with your claim: you say
"Chemtrails progressively generates overcast conditions. This is "evidence" that whatever substance being sprayed is altering atmospheric conditions. "
but you don't provide any evidence.
As I said, it's like saying "there must be water on mars, or the Martians would have nothing to drink".
It only supports the idea that there is water if you can prove that there are Martians.

Unless you can show that this "Chemtrails progressively generates overcast conditions" is true, then you can't rely on it to "prove" anything.

As I have said before- the big problem is that you don't understand evidence.

I have observed for many times the progressive overcast cloud cover the day after I've seen clandestine geoengineering activity. (This is confirmed by multiple sources from the Internet.)

This phenomenon is known as "global dimming":

Quote
It is thought that global dimming is probably due to the increased presence of aerosol particles in the atmosphere caused by human action.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_dimming#Causes_and_effects

So, either I don't know what evidence is or you have a big attitude problem. My guess is that you believe in the government-sponsored disinformation rather than reality because your logic is flawed.

"What you saw was most likely a contrail. A contrail do not persist and do not reproduce the chemical clumping behavior of aerosol particles."
You have not shown that clumping effect to exist. So, as usual, you have no evidence.

"I have observed for many times the progressive overcast cloud cover the day after I've seen clandestine geoengineering activity."
Everyone has seen cloudy days- they always did.
You, with no logical justification, blame it on aircraft.
As usual, you have no evidence.


" (This is confirmed by multiple sources from the Internet.) "
Not really.
Here's an internet source that shows  that clouds existed before planes.
http://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/constable-cloud-study-n06065/text-catalogue-entry

Any number of web pages saying "I think it's cloudy because of planes" don't show anything unless that can explain that the clouds are different.


"It is thought that global dimming is probably due to the increased presence of aerosol particles in the atmosphere caused by human action."

"So, either I don't know what evidence is or you have a big attitude problem. "
OK, you finally accept the truth.
Mankind produces lots of soot- and has done since the industrial revolution. Nobody ever disputed that.
That's the man made aerosol (there are, of course, natural ones too)
That's the cause of the aerosols.
It's not geoengineering.
So it's not my attitude- it's your failure to understand the bloody obvious.

You don't look at a phenomenon- like clouds- and check whether it could have a different cause than the one you are desperately hoping to shore up.
You just say "This proves it"- even when it is something monumentally stupid like the water in jet fuel.

And that's the sense in which you don't understand evidence.

So, as you say, its' either my attitude or your lack of understanding; and it's not my attitude.



re"My guess is that you believe in the government-sponsored disinformation rather than reality because your logic is flawed.  "
I wish the government had sponsored the flight home from my holidays, but they didn't.
So, what I believe is the evidence of my own eyes- and it's evidence I have known about since I was a little kid who noticed that my breath steamed in cold weather.

"There's simply not enough water (30ppm) in jet fuel to become a source of persistent aerosol. http://www.liquisearch.com/jet_fuel/water_in_jet_fuel"
you were trying to pretend that I'm the ignorant one.
It turned out that you had no idea what you were talking about.
Do you accept that you were stupidly wrong about that?

"However pretending chemtrails do not exist is just a plain lie. "
I'm not pretending, I'm pointing it out.
You have yet to show (in spite of my asking many times) that these so called "chemtrails" are anything but water left behind from jet fuel combustion.
You have sought to claim that they are different in that they are "persistent" however, in the examples I posted of ordinary contrails,
(1) you said they were persistent so they were chemtrails. and yet
(2) the gaps in them showed that they were not persistent.

You have also failed to grasp the fact that clouds are quite often persistent so there's no reason why contrails shouldn't be.

Feel free to explain that one sometime.


And this
"Likewise, suggesting that planes emits "cirrus aviaticus" clouds is propaganda. "

 is another bit of stupidity, for two reasons.
The first is the pictures of planes emitting them. The second is a linguistic  error on your part.
Clouds from flying things are "cirrus aviaticus" regardless of the mechanism by which they are produced.

And, it's a straightforward lie to claim that the video says that "-cia-director-admits-government-is-using-chemtrails-to-block-sun"
He says no such thing.
About 10 seconds in he says that things could potentially be done but, as I have pointed out before, that's not the same as saying it is happening. He says it COULD provide time to transition from fossil fuel. He says it would cost about $10Bn- that's not the same as saying it does cost that.
Then he points out that it wouldn't  solve the problem (notably the ocean pH) and that it would probably start a war.

There is no point in that video where he says that geoengineering is actually happening.

So, let's be clear about this.
You cite "evidence" from websites that clearly tell lies, and then you accuse me of propaganda.
re.

About 10 seconds in he says that things could potentially be done but, as I have pointed out before, that's not the same as saying it is happening. He says it COULD provide time to transition from fossil fuel. He says it would cost about $10Bn- that's not the same as saying it does cost that.
Then he points out that it wouldn't  solve the problem (notably the ocean pH) and that it would probably start a war.

There is no point in that video where he says that geoengineering is actually happening.

So, let's be clear about this.
You cite "evidence" from websites that clearly tell lies, and then you accuse me of propaganda.
re.
"it's pathetic BC don't realize how deceitful his claims are. "
get a mirror- I'm not the one who is seeking to deceive.
You say "We need to address the implications of chemtrails for human health and the environment, not lying about the existence of this activity."

Well, stop lying, stop saying that CIA bloke says that Chemtrails are real- he does nothing of the sort. That's just your wishful thinking.
So, as I said before
Show us evidence that the clouds left by planes are not just water, or shut up.
and, in the meantime, stop telling such obvious lies.

Bored chemist, you have to understand I'm passionated about clandestine geoengineering activity. You, however, don't seem to give a bloody reason why this subject is important for you or your beloved ones.

There's no bloody such thing as a cirrus aviaticus cloud. Please remember that. If you live in UK then you should know the meaning of freedom. Clandestine geoengineering activity is an assault on freedom. Now, why would you not care about this? This seem like a potential scientific discussion, and I would like to preserve proper scientific discourse.

yor_on, if you feel like giving your opinion don't hesitate. :)

What you saw was most likely a contrail.



Contrails is a pure lie. There's no such thing as a "contrail". Quit the stupid disinformation nonsense.


Bored chemist, you have to understand I'm passionated about clandestine geoengineering activity.


You seem to be very passionate about it.
You don't seem to understand that  your passion is clouding your judgement.
However, since you have now accused yourself of lying, perhaps you will realise that you are talking nonsense.

Failing that, Show us evidence that the clouds left by planes are not just water, or shut up.

There's no such thing as a contrail under normal conditions. The formation of CCNs is a evidence that an aerosol is producing the persisting particles to nucleate ice. Water, under normal (atmospheric) conditions, does not condense to alter clouds.

Clandestine geoengineering activity is an assault on freedom to breath non-polluted air. The contrail lie is an effort to disinform us with nonsense. You should stop accusing me of lying when you constantly attempt to create disinformation about the nature of stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI).
 
By the way, clandestine geoengineering activity is a fact. You should at least attempt to understand the concepts behind it before claiming its not true. Your attitude is an evidence of your stupidity and arrogance toward the unknown.

Well Tkadm. Geo engineering should mean something planned to change the environment at a global level as I read it. And it's very seldom, or possibly never, any smarter than what the planet has come forward with on its own under 'geological time'. When it comes to chem trails I don't think you have to worry though, although there will be local temperature differences soon after that day all aircrafts are grounded. But that has its ground in that the exhaust will express itself as 'clouds' of sorts and they reflect sunlight at daytime. At night time they do the opposite though, becoming blankets keeping the heat in.

It doesn't make sense assuming that people would mix 'clandestine stuff' with normal aviation fuel. and to make it stick you would have to assume that it should be the same all over the world.

Clearly nonsense because there were clouds before there were aircraft.
Do you ever actually think about the implications of what you post?


If it's a fact then you should have no difficulty providing evidence for it. You have not done so; why not?

Contrails certainly nucleate clouds round here, but not every day. So either the conditions are a bit critical or Big Brother is taking the piss by distributing nonnucleating gunge from my plane some days but not others. How would I know? I'm only a pilot. It's damn clever because we only have one fuel bowser on our airfield and there are no "contrail" taps or switches on the instrument panel, so they must be loading the stuff into some part of the plane I've never seen, even when it's stripped down to its knickers in the workshop. And the stuff appears to be weightless 'cos the plane flies just the same on contrail, nucleating contrail, and non-contrail days. And it's not distributed through the engine 'cos I've generated a contrail from a glider!

Contrails do not create clouds. Stop speaking nonsense.
So, what you are saying is that the trails left by aircraft don't create clouds, but the trails left by aircraft create increased clouds.
Or are you saying there's a difference?
Because if you are then guess what?
Show us evidence that the clouds left by planes are not just water, or shut up.

Having just read Alan's post, I'd be happy to see you answer his points first, then get back to mine later.

I think chemtrails can chemically nucleate ice crystals. Thus the use of artificial cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) is probably required to nucleate clouds. A "contrail" evaporation rate is too high to nucleate ice.

Contrails do not create clouds. What creates clouds is the effect of chemical CCN agent which alters clouds composition.

tkadm30, I am pretty tired of the one-sided nature of this discussion. Bored (and others occasionally) have offered evidence- and logic-based answers to your questions, and your only responses have been "lies, all lies!" and insistence that this is very important. While I would agree that it would be very important if, there were a concerted and massive effort to change the climate by spraying aerosols in the sky. But given the evidence presented (essentially none) and the incredible nature of the claims, I remain unconcerned.

I will lock this thread unless the next post from tkadm30 contains some attempt at backing up these claims (that contrails are not water, that normal jet fuel doesn't produce contrails, or that billions have been spent on creating the infrastructure necessary for this feat) using scientific reasoning or trustworthy references. If a reasonable effort has been made on this front, then the conversation can continue.

I have tried many times to explain the evidences of clandestine geoengineering activity but Bored chemist attitude is just not reasonable enough. I cannot agree with the pseudoscientific voodoo of nucleating contrails. Lying is not a acceptable behavior on a science site.

It's not just BoredChemist who is still waiting for something worth discussing here. No one is satisfied with the evidence provided thus far towards establishing anything about chemtrails. The claims run counter to everything that we understand about thermodynamics, aerodynamics, social dynamics and economics, and the narrative is essentially the classic example of a conspiracy theory. So unless you have some overwhelming evidence, no rational and well-informed human would consider it as possible true. Call it "brainwashed" if you will, but there aren't many frequenters of this forum that are willing to consider the notion.

I will stick true to my word, and not seeing any attempt at providing evidence, lock the thread. With apologies to those who may have been enjoying the back-and-forth, please consider this the last word.
