Please just show me the levels of Barium in jet exhaust and how that was measured.
And if they didn't measure the barium in the jet exhaust, this proves it doesn't exist?
If they didn't measure the barium in jet exhaust, how can it be included in your list of three points?
It's nothing more than speculation. Not based in any fact at all.
Do you disagree?

You may not like the source, the information presented is what you need to discuss.
Notice there is a map, with a local mine noted.
Also, notice the information about testing levels.

1. How many times do I need to tell you all the 20 people tested did NOT all live in Golden Valley AZ?
2. How many times do I need to explain that it does not invalidate a correlation between blood tests, rainwater, and jet exhaust to locate some alternate "remotely possible" source of barium contamination?
3. Mick West (master metabunker from the metabunk website) is assuming the blood tests of these individuals is actually within "normal" range, all based on disputing this: "Normal levels are between 2 and 10 mcg/L for barium according to Labcorp and Quest Labs." He claims the "normal" level is actually as high as 400 mcg/L, but he's getting this from a source that says: "Spectrum Laboratories provides this information in its website as a free value to anyone who cares about environmental or chemical issues. The sources of this information could not be validated. This site is a compilation of information meant for casual reference only." From the video, we see that Alan DiCiccio says normal level is 11 and his level was 190. This is obviously a case where a source is not correct about the normal limits of barium found in the blood. Allan DiCiccio's doctor saw the results of his blood test. Did he lie to his patient when he concurred barium level was elevated?

All of their tests where within the normal range. Did you actually read the data?

Hell yes I disagree. Are you questioning that barium is in jet exhaust, or are you questioning that David Keith and other proponents of geoengineering sprays have suggested that barium is a chemical element that can be put to use? As far as the correlation goes, it's in relationship to the proposed chemical elements to be used as aerosols, which I cannot possibly find simply a coincidence in this case. Jet exhaust does normally contain barium, but I'm not sure how much, and it's not relevant.

Yes I did, and I also read the disclaimer at the website that Mick West used as his source to determine what the supposed "normal" range is for the blood. The video clearly states that it's not 400 mcg/L, it's 11.

Moreover (and this is going to go right over most of your heads), something that is statistically "normative" (as in a blood test indicating barium levels) should never be confounded with what is "normal."

If I may, I would like to question if barium is present in jet exhaust and how much. While you claimed to believe the jet exhaust is causing the elevated barium levels, then saying the levels aren't relevant perplexes me.

So, barring any other factors, do you agree that it's possible that the barium contamination may have come from another source?

More regarding this doubt debunkers cast on the elevated levels of barium in blood test results:
You can see in the video at 54:00 there's a form (likely blood test results) saying "Patient has an abnormal Barium Level" with a signature of the prescriber. Is that a lie too? We all have reason to doubt the papers received from blood test results all come from health care professionals who don't know what is an elevated level of barium?

Because you don't understand what correlation I derived from the facts regarding "jet exhaust," which you are now confounding with "jet fuel." Or maybe you're intentionally shifting the focus from "jet exhaust" to "jet fuel," all to invalidate my argument.

What does "it's possible" get you? -- a chance to start dismantling my perspective? A correlation is a correlation.

Do you understand what Elevated means on a blood test? If 10 was the max anything over 10 would be High. Elevated is anything over the Median and below the max allowed.
ETA, the 2 to 10 is actually the max daily intake. That is according to the people making the claim.

You seem to be unaware that Dicicco's Barium level was well within the normal range, as well as the others. On the test Reporting Limit means that is the smallest amount the lab can detect. Elevated means it is above the median. If you take time to read the whole thing it shows that his test was normal.

Yes it is higher than the median - so are half the results of anything, by definition.
However it is well within what is considered the normal range.
Both statements are true - don't fixate on one as if it is particularly important when it is not.

I disagree in another important way. It's not based on speculation that proponents of geoengineering have proposed barium as a chemical to be used in aerosols. You keep completely overlooking this and shift the focus to whether barium was measured in the jet exhaust over Golden Valley AZ, an obvious impossibility. It doesn't invalidate the positive correlation between the elevated levels of barium found in blood tests, the elevated rainwater barium, and the proposed chemical elements to be used as aerosols for geoengineering. There is barium in jet exhaust, and it is quite possible that jet exhaust itself is the source of the toxin.

You keep trying to make it look like a nearby mine or some other source of barium is more plausible, but the truth is you have no more or less evidence for this claim than I do regarding the barium potentially contained in the jet exhaust. You will not dismantle my argument with "possibilities." It may not be the exhaust per se, I have no clue what the actual delivery system is to deploy a chemical of this kind, and it's not relevant to my argument. The positive correlation is my concern, and it's a health issue whether it's related to geoengineering or jet exhaust in general. They both appear to be toxic to the public.
Scientists have discussed such strategies for decades, but (until recently) mostly behind closed doors, in part because they feared that speaking publicly about geoengineering would undermine efforts to cut greenhouse-gas emissions. Keith, who is McKay professor of applied physics in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) and professor of public policy at Harvard Kennedy School, strongly advocates bringing discussion of geoengineering into the open. He says, “We don’t make good decisions by sweeping things under the rug.”
