I have seen the debunker do no such thing.
Now a group of European and U.S. scientists is advocating a broad research effort to solve the puzzle and understand just what is occurring in cirrus clouds, wispy sheets of ice crystals 6 to 10 miles above the Earth's surface.
"Based on our current knowledge, it shouldn't exist," said Marcia Baker, a University of Washington professor of Earth and space sciences.

Cirrus clouds also are important in regulating the distribution of water vapor, the most important greenhouse gas, in the upper troposphere.
he UV/IR cirrus cloud optical depth ratio was estimated on the basis of a comparison of lidar and GOES 8 measurements. Simple radiative transfer model calculations compared with GOES satellite brightness temperatures indicate that satellite radiances are significantly affected by the presence of cirrus clouds if IR optical depths are ∼0.005 or greater
more water vapor required to form an ice crystal than
to form a water droplet
Look again at the water vapor image. Note the narrow swath of moist air aloft that extends from central Texas to the lower Mississippi Valley and into the central Appalachians. Note the bright blob (which represents clouds) in Mississippi. Do you think that this blob represents cumulonimbus clouds (thunderstorms) or a patch of thick, high cirrus (feathery ice-crystal) clouds? Look at the enhanced infrared image and frame your answer based on this image. Also make your case using the visible image. Hint: For comparison sake, there are streamers of cirrus clouds moving into western Montana from southwestern Canada.

i think you are barking up the wrong tree so to speak....instead of looking into silver iodide and co2 introductions to the atmosphere (which is only a very small amount ) you should be looking into the various `salts` that they are using for weather modification.

Seriously, the scientist studying this very phenomena don't understand it, but you have complete knowledge?

I have persistent contrails over my house right now.
Silver iodide is currently the most favored cloud seeding material in weather modification projects.
...
Silver levels in soil, plant and litter material are being monitored twice a year on a mountainous area in southwestern Colorado,
...
Consistent increases in silver concentration were found in soil and pine foliage within 200 meters of one generator site.
Of the ice-forming materials, the most commonly used is silver iodide. The second major category is focused on cloud systems where the warm (coalescence) process predominates. In those environments, hygroscopic (water attracting) materials such as salt, urea and ammonium nitrate can be utilized. Of the hygroscopic materials, the most commonly used are salts.
It was the first organic compound to be artificially synthesized from inorganic starting materials, in 1828 by Friedrich Wöhler, who prepared it by the reaction of potassium cyanate with ammonium sulfate
...
Urea is, in essence, a waste product. It is found and retracted from urine
...
Urea can be irritating to skin and eyes. Too high concentrations in the blood can cause damage to organs of the body.
In late March and early April 2004, The Plant Disease Information Office started to receive an unusual number of phone inquiries and samples of ailing Eastern red cedar, Juniperus virginiana, from throughout the state. The calls and samples continued to increase into May. Although this native species is usually considered relatively trouble-free in Connecticut, this year we are seeing dramatic and conspicuous damage on trees in all age and size classes, care regimes, and locations, including natural stands and managed landscapes.
...
The damage to the red cedars that we’re observing this year is significant but also serves to predispose and weaken the affected trees. This makes them more vulnerable to secondary or opportunistic pests.
...
This winter’s unusually high snowfall levels resulted in extensive use of de-icing salts. De-icing salts cause damage through direct contact of salt solutions with plant foliage ("spray zone" injury) and through chemical and physical modification of the soil as a result of accumulating salt and uptake of salt ions by plant roots.
High-spectral resolution radiances were measured from above the cirrus at a number of wavelengths between 0.3 and 16.7 µm, thereby covering a large range of ice crystal size parameter space and complex refractive index. It is shown that consistency between retrieved optical thickness and ice crystal effective radius at both solar and infrared wavelengths could only be achieved if the ice aggregate model was assumed. Moreover, differences between the ice aggregate model and spectrally resolved brightness temperature measurements were generally well within ±1 K between the wavelengths of 3.3 and 16.0 µm in the clean atmospheric window regions.

Somehow, I have a feeling that no matter what I show you, you are going to say otherwise.
