Waynos,
I cannot give you a correct answer. We all know enough toknowfeel that something is going on. Good or Negative.

But the OP still has a point about weather modification relation to contrails, for contrails cast shadows on the ground and contribute to (albeit a minor) cooling of the surface.
Persistent contrails, if anything, have a net warming effect.

I have been curious about this for a while. If you have cloud cover during the day, it will reflect some of the radiation and have a net cooling affect (locally where there are clouds), yet after the sun goes down, remaining cloud cover will trap residual heat in and cause a net warming affect. Knowing that, how is the "net" affect calculated? (not looking for math, just the general idea if you know)
Thanks

The Beijing Weather Modification Office form a part of China's nationwide weather control effort, believed to be the world's largest; it employs 37,000 people nationwide, who seed clouds by firing rockets and shells loaded with silver iodide into them.[4] According to Zhang Qiang, head of the Office, cloud seeding increased precipitation in Beijing by about one-eighth in 2004; nationwide, similar efforts added 7.4 trillion cubic feet (210 km3) of rain between 1995 and 2003.[5]

Indeed I truly do believe it to be baffling people do not acknowledge weather modification is real.
You may think our governments[western] are open and transparent about it, but I am off the opinion governments lie. Abu Dhabi does it all the time to control dust storms.
Ill have one star please, thank you.

and if they do then why wouldn't you
There have been several such posts just in this thread by people who dot' believe in chemtrails.
Evidence?
And what has it got to do with geoengineering apart from...er.....nothing??
Geoengineering is the deliberate large-scale intervention in the Earth’s natural systems to counteract climate change.
What is cloud seeding?
Cloud seeding is the process of spreading either dry ice, or more commonly, silver iodide aerosols, into the upper part of clouds to try to stimulate the precipitation process and form rain.
Since most rainfall starts through the growth of ice crystals from super-cooled cloud droplets (droplets colder than the freezing point, 32 deg. F or 0 deg. C) in the upper parts of clouds, the silver iodide particles are meant to encourage the growth of new ice particles.
The history of cloud seeding has experienced uncertain results because it can never be known whether a cloud that rains after seeding might have rained anyway. This is because seeding is performed on clouds that look like they have some potential for producing rain.
Interesting facts:
REDUCING THE INTENSITY OF HURRICANES THROUGH SEEDING? NOPE.In the early 1960's, the National Hurricane Center began a series of experiments in seeding of hurricanes to reduce their intensity. Since the most destructive hurricane winds are produced from hurricanes with the smallest diameter eyes, STORMFURY seeding flights tried to stimulate the growth of a new eyewall of convection outside the inner, more destructive eyewall. Unfortunately, the project failed. It has since been determined that there are already an abundance of ice crystals in hurricane rain systems, so the production of new ice particles through cloud seeding probably has little if any effect.

I specificaly said weather modification.
But I dont really know about the connotation of "chemtrail" but if Silver iodide qualifies as a chemical then yes they clearly do exist,
I specificaly said weather modification. no you didn't - you specifically said weather modification.
I mentioned chemtrails to point out that people who do not believe in chemtrails are perfectly aware that weather modification (ie cloud seeding) exists

There is a recent increase of new members here. I wanted to have some updated information for them about this topic.
So I thought that this topic needed some clarifications.

How can that be?, as all weather modification seems to formed around using chemtrails?
