WIKI: Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO)
Originally posted by Essan
I'm confused.
Are we talking about "chemtrails" (aka white lines comprised of deadly dihyrogen monoxide crystals) or are we talking about the proposal to geoengineer the atmosphere by spraying aerosols into the stratosphere to replicate the cooling effects of large equatorial volcanic eruptions and thus counter global warming?
As already shown, the later is subject to a great deal of study at present and the tide of opinion is turning against it being a viable option.
I'm assuming the purpose of the thread is to argue in favour of it?
Dihydrogen monoxide (DHMO) is an overly pedantic naming of water.
–adjective
1. ostentatious in one's learning.
2. overly concerned with minute details or formalisms, esp. in teaching.
characterized by pretentious, showy, or vulgar display

Why would you ASSUME this thread is in SUPPORT of the use of Chemtrails or whatever you want to call their attempts at geoengineering might be.

... if they did human testing BEFOREHAND.
Before unleashing this cloud seeding into our skies.
If this has been going on since the 50s as you mention, then I wonder
if the potential affects on human health were examined BEFORE they started it.
Rather than testing the effects, AFTERWARDS when the horse had already bolted, so to speak.

I'll see how this thread is looking tomorrow and hopefully we can swing it around to a useful and informative discussion on the subject
....such a programme would not manifest itself in very limited dispersal at lower altitudes only in areas of heavy air traffic - rather it would be at stratospheric levels around the tropics.
So we are certain that there is no high-level spraying of any substance in Iraq currently that is utilized for triangulation purposes?

AS TO the 'patents'....this is where what 'Essan' said bears repeating: It would be done WELL higher than normal cruising altitudes for commercial airline traffic, AND for maximum effect it would have to be nearer the Equator, where sunlight is most concentrated.
Troposphere
The troposphere begins at the surface and extends to between 7 km (23,000 ft) at the poles and 17 km (56,000 ft) at the equator, with some variation due to weather. The troposphere is mostly heated by transfer of energy from the surface, so on average the lowest part of the troposphere is warmest and temperature decreases with altitude. This promotes vertical mixing (hence the origin of its name in the Greek word "τροπή", trope, meaning turn or overturn). The troposphere contains roughly 80% of the mass of the atmosphere. The tropopause is the boundary between the troposphere and stratosphere.
I can sleep better at night knowing they aren't unloading any harmful chemicals into the air.

"Because stratospheric air naturally spirals toward the poles, and because the Arctic regions are more vulnerable to global warming, it makes sense to spray the sulphur aerosol at high latitude"
