George B, I know you claim to be open minded on both sides of the debate, your title for this thread is : If you believe chemtrails are real . . . what source of information has reinforced your belief mos
It looks to read like tell why you believe chemtrails are real, so why do you allow the chemtrails believers to be insulted and stalked by those shill stalkers.

This makes your credibility look bad.
That is what makes this thread of yours a joke allowing gang stalkers .

It goes both ways. I have been insulted and called names while refraining from doing the same. I am trying to point out the inconsitancies in the "Chemtrail" story. It doesn't make sense that the contrails are anything other than contrails. There just isn't any evidence supporting that assertion.

From what I understand this is not a Contrail thread, why don't you do yourself a CONTRAIL thread and find out who cares about them , everyone knows what a contrails is already.

There you go. You just proved my statement. People who believe in chemtrails are vengeful, insulting, and rude.

The relevance is that the things that people call chemtrails are in reality contrails, water vapor and ice crystals. No one has been able to prove they are anything else.

You just showed you would rather insult than have a rational discussion.

And last time I looked at the Constitution I can say what I please. It is people like you who fear the truth.

No there isn't . . . in the aircraft industry . . . they have accomplished significant and well publicized reduction in sound, CO2, NOx and fuel per load categories . . . especially with the new high efficiency engines . . . so the only real problem where absolutely no progress has been made is in Contrail Mitigation and despite the numerous ways to make practical strides in that direction . . .

Different and I already said the difference. They form low level pollution that immediately affects people's health. Mitigating persistent contrails, in itself, is not a bad thing but the question needs to be asked, will there be unintended consequences? You may think you know, but you don't. No one knows yet. Then there is the cost, what if we have to spend $100 billion to mitigate and it does not change climate either way. Is the cost worth it? I have already posted links showing the FAA is studying the problem. They haven’t reached a conclusion yet.

Different and I already said the difference. They form low level pollution that immediately affects people's health. Mitigating persistent contrails, in itself, is not a bad thing but the question needs to be asked, will there be unintended consequences? You may think you know, but you don't. No one knows yet. Then there is the cost, what if we have to spend $100 billion to mitigate and it does not change climate either way. Is the cost worth it? I have already posted links showing the FAA is studying the problem. They haven’t reached a conclusion yet.

Re: If you believe chemtrails are real . . . what source of information has reinforced your belief most?
We are talking about mitigating persistent contrails . . . not engaging in active geoengineering. . . coffee4
 Quoting: George B


Since persistent contrails are a global phenomenon that affect radiative forcing, and hence climatology, any intentional change IS geo-engineering whether you want to admit it or not. They are not a local pollution like acid rain. We don’t know enough to make a change either way.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 36488183


So we shouldn't reduce the sulfur content of gasoline from 300ppm to 10ppm with that logic or have installed catalytic converters on cars . . . very strange logic . . . persistent contrails are not natural . . . they are something we can remove without fear of causing an imbalance in nature . . . coffee4

Come on . . . no serious atmospheric scientist believes persistent contrails are not a concern and should not be mitigated . . . the only thing is a commitment from IPCC and the agencies like FAA to request action . . . it could be as simple as placing mirrors or video cameras in the cockpits so flight crews are aware they are leaving a persistent trail . . . coffee4

A concern yes but still no one can say what would happen with the change. No one, and that includes you. ANY change in radiative forcing has consequences.

Gee, if I knew that it wouldn't be unknown now would it? It is a change in radiative forcing. Can you predict what will happen when you change the radiative forcing?
