The National Aeronautics and Space Administration, which has a mandate to enhance the safety of air travel, has been suppressing huge quantities of data that apparently show the risks for civilian aircraft are much higher than commonly estimated.
...
When The Associated Press sought the data under the Freedom of Information Act, the request was rejected by a high NASA official. He said releasing the data “could materially affect the public confidence in, and the commercial welfare of, the air carriers and general aviation companies whose pilots participated in the survey.
NASA appointees suppressed climate data, report says

WASHINGTON — Political appointees at NASA headquarters deliberately downplayed scientific evidence documenting global warming for political reasons for more than a year, the agency's watchdog reported Monday
...
The investigation began after Hansen and other NASA scientists alleged presidential appointees had suppressed work describing global warming.
Cooper and Jolly (1970) in a review of the ecologic effects of
silver have pointed out that the current experimental practice of
seeding clouds with silver iodide to promote rainfall may lead to new
hazards for both man and natural biologic systems if the practice is
extended (Petering, 1976).
Survey Finds Silver Contamination In North Pacific Waters
ScienceDaily (Mar. 30, 2005) — SANTA CRUZ, CA -- The highest levels of silver contamination ever observed in the open ocean turned up in samples collected during a survey of the North Pacific in 2002. Researchers from the University of California, Santa Cruz, measured silver concentrations 50 times greater than the natural background level.
The silver iodide particles need be only one-millionth of an inch in diameter. A billion billion of them will fit in an eggshell. About 200 pounds of silver iodide may be enough to seed the entire atmosphere of the U.S. at the rate of 100,000 nuclei per cubic foot. Adding one pound per hour will keep it seeded.
About 1,900 pounds of silver iodide was scattered last year to tweak atmospheric moisture above 102,000 square miles out West - a patch of sky nearly twice the size of Iowa. An additional 30 projects already are booked for this year.
"It's like a religion. (Whether it works) depends on who you talk to and what you believe," said Steve Schmitzer, the Denver Water Board's chief of water resources analysis.
At the time of his discovery, Dr. Vonnegut worked in the research laboratory of Dr. Irving Langmuir at General Electric Company in Schenectady, New York. Their initial work on cloud seeding was funded by the Company, not the U.S. Government. General Electric rented an airplane and released dry ice into clouds on four days during November and December 1946. The last day of seeding coincided with the "heaviest snowfall of the winter" in the Schenectady, New York area, which made the Company management concerned about the possibility of cloud seeding experiments causing harmful weather. (Havens, Jiusto, Vonnegut, 1978, pp. 7-8) A history of early cloud seeding produced by General Electric Company says:
It was recognized that the possibility of liability for damage from cloud-seeding experiments was a very worrisome hazard in this new form of cloud experimentation. Since such a threat to the share owner's money would not be balanced by any known gain to the Company's products or business, there was a great reluctance to incur risks of uncertain but potentially great magnitude.
This was another – and particularly important – reason that any seeding experiments be conducted under government sponsorship. No further seeding flights were made until such sponsorship was provided.
(Havens, Jiusto, Vonnegut, 1978, p. 8)
Just two months later, the U.S. Army Signal Corps began a contract with General Electric for cloud modification experiments. Part of this contract stated:
... the entire flight program shall be conducted by the government, using exclusively government personnel and equipment, and shall be under the exclusive direction and control of such government personnel.
(Havens, Jiusto, Vonnegut, 1978, pp. 8-9)
Similar trials using silver iodide smoke as the seeding agent were made from 1953-1956 in clouds located anywhere from South Australia to Queensland. Experiments were carried out using both ground based and airborne silver iodide generators. The use of ground based generators was abandoned because of concerns that the silver iodide from the generators failed to reach cloud base. Further, the nucleating properties of the silver iodide decayed during daylight hours. Efforts instead focused on the airborne dispersal of silver iodide. It was concluded that silver iodide was an effective agent in clouds whose upper levels have temperatures cooler than -5oC. Precipitation was induced within 20 to 25 minutes after seeding in cumulus clouds and somewhat later in stratiform clouds (Warner and Twomey, 1956).
It is important that Water Managers not view cloud seeding as a proven technology that works in all circumstances, but rather view it as a technique that is effective in only a limited number of especially suitable meteorological conditions. Where a Water Manager perceives cloud seeding may be effective in augmenting water supplies the principles outlined above should assist in the planning and in the implementation of any cloud seeding experiment. The central theme of the principles is one of a planned approach, with clear accountabilities and quality assurance with proper understanding, realistic performance objectives and measurement.
From enhancing friendly operations or disrupting those of the enemy via small-scale tailoring of
natural weather patterns to complete dominance of global communications and counterspace control,
weather-modification offers the war fighter a wide-range of possible options to defeat or coerce an
adversary.
Tiny "smart" devices that can be borne on the wind like dust particles could be carried in space probes to explore other planets, UK engineers say.
The devices would consist of a computer chip covered by a plastic sheath that can change shape when a voltage is applied, enabling it to be steered.

I guess this thread isn't for you then. If you are convinced that what they are doing in the sky is no harm to mankind, then I don't understand why you should worry about me posting some pics and excerpts from articles.
Yes, chemtrails are what cloud seeding has become. Global weather warfare.
If you choose to ignore that, then that is your choice. But good people deserve the truth. No government spook disinfo. Thanks for your efforts though.

With an NFPA 704 rating of Blue 2, silver iodide can cause temporary incapacitation or possible residual injury (e.g., chloroform) with intense or continued but not chronic exposure. However, there have been several detailed ecological studies that showed negligible environmental and health impacts. [2][3][4]. The toxicity of silver and silver compounds (from silver iodide) was shown to be of low order in some studies. These findings likely result from the minute amounts of silver generated by cloud seeding, which are 100 times less than industry emissions into the atmosphere in many parts of the world, or individual exposure from tooth fillings

I agree with everything you have said. These chem trails are definitely harmful. They are doubling up around here lately. More so at night. I see stuff falling down from sky a lot at night. Tiny flake-like things. I think it is nanotechnologies also. I still to this day cannot understand why people can't SEE this going on in the sky. It makes no sense at all.

I do not know if it is related but out where I am , there is now an excess of salts
in the ground. The cement, and even my dirt has a white powder that stains it.
The neighbors have it as well. It was not here a year ago.
Anything that was growing in those areas has now died and nothing will grow there. I did some research to figure out what this stuff is, and it appears to be excess salt.
