We should concentrate on the few times governments have admitted to putting chemical/biological stuff in the air, and the sections of law that allow that, the stuff the chinese and russians are doing with the rain making/stopping and so on.

Hi Weedwhacker,
For one I never attributed chemtrails to commercial flights.
Yet the phenomena described as 'chemtrails' is predominantly produced by commercial airliners.
The reason why the Government is using chemtrails is to keep global temperature down. Contrails as well as Chemtrails contribute to this.
How many times does this need explaining? Contrails (or 'chemtrails) cause global warming! It's why so much effort is being made to study them and fiund ways of reducing contrail formation.
Someone is feeding you some pretty nasty lies I'm afraid You need to start asking yourself why they want you to think this? And would you trust them if they told you that to put out a fire you should pour gasoline on it?
And, as you see Chemtrails stay in the atmosphere much much longer then Contrails so therefor they are more effective.
Well contrails last for hours, possibly days depending on atmospheric conditions - but this goes back to my previous point: contrails/chemtrails cause warming
Maybe time you learned the truth?

The studies I've read show that their effect on cooling is minimal, while they cause a moderate INCREASE in temperatures by blocking outbound infrared radiation. So laying MORE contrails down would actually be causing things to warm instead of causing them to cool.
Dimming appears to be caused by air pollution. Burning coal, oil and wood, whether in cars, power stations or cooking fires, produces not only invisible carbon dioxide (the principal greenhouse gas responsible for global warming) but also tiny airborne particles of soot, ash, sulphur compounds and other pollutants.
This visible air pollution reflects sunlight back into space, preventing it reaching the surface. But the pollution also changes the optical properties of clouds. Because the particles seed the formation of water droplets, polluted clouds contain a larger number of droplets than unpolluted clouds. Recent research shows that this makes them more reflective than they would otherwise be, again reflecting the Sun's rays back into space.

You see that high level clouds - which include contrails (or chemtrails) have a warming effect.
Hence why we're researching ways to reduce contrail formation.

Because they can be proven. Proven to be normal contrails. They cannot (well, to be correct, never have been) proven to be anything else.
It's like someone persistently posting pictures of an elephant and claiming it's a horse. If you knew a bit about elephant (and horses) what would you do?

No it didn't.
The diurnal range - the difference between daytime max and nighttime minima - increased by 1c.

I've posted dozens of links in this thread
Maybe you should try reading some and learning the truth?

This is what I have been pointing out all along. I think the Government is making super contrails so to speak (called chemtrails) in order to slow the global warming effect.
Using results from a general circulation model simulation of contrails, the cirrus trends
over the United States are estimated to cause a tropospheric warming of 0.28–0.38C decade21, a range that
includes the observed tropospheric temperature trend of 0.278C decade21 between 1975 and 1994. The magnitude
of the estimated surface temperature change and the seasonal variations of the estimated temperature trends are
also in good agreement with the corresponding observations.
