Unless crop dusting has to take place 40,000 feet in the air...

Difficult, this thread. It is going so far afield....

CLOUD SEEDING is NOT done at "40,000 feet in the air"!
Nor, at 30,000 feet.
Nor, at 20,000 feet.
It is done low, in the troposphere (LOOK IT UP, please!) where weather forms! Weather doesn't form at 40,000 feet. It doesn't make rain at 40,000 feet. Look up the tropopause, too. Research. Learn something useful.
Weather will rarely climb above the tropopause, and that's only in the cases of towering cumulus clouds, and major thunderstorm activity.
As to "cloud seeding"? IT is done where the air is above freezing! And, look more at meteorology, to see just where the "freezing level" can begin. Varies by season, latitude, and local geography/topography....and varies by atmospheric conditions, that are in constant flux.
Keep this in mind....the "standard" temperature at Sea Level is Internationally agreed upon as 59 degrees F/15 degrees C. Air tends to decrease in temperature by an average of 2 degrees Celsius, every 1,000 feet of rise. (When IN the troposphere).
15 divided by 2? Equals 7.5, right? SO, you can expect, quite often, that above 7,500 feet, will be below freezing. There is NO POINT in trying to "seed clouds" to make rain, when it's too cold for liquid water to exist!!!!

I'm sorry but life in the Unites States is getting shorter now...We ARE being poisoned... Life Expectancy Declines in the United States Life expectancy may be on the decline in the United States, especially in some counties. Every year, we can expect to hear how the overall life expectancy has increased in the United States, but this is not true for all places; some counties have experienced slow or negative changes in life expectancy..
Obesity is defined as a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or greater. BMI is calculated from a person's weight and height and provides a reasonable indicator of body fatness and weight categories that may lead to health problems. Obesity is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, certain types of cancer, and type 2 diabetes. During the past 20 years there has been a dramatic increase in obesity in the United States. In 2009, only Colorado and the District of Columbia had a prevalence of obesity less than 20%.

Chemtrails rank right up there with HAARP conspiracies and alien abductions. I read the threads, have a good laugh, and move on to something else. There's just no realistic evidence of chemtrails. Cloud seeding is different and has been experimented with since the 40's. But what's more probable: government planes spraying chemicals in broad daylight or dense contrails that take a good while to disperse? Again, I've had a good laugh and now I'm moving on.
WOo HOOO! Before you go...........
Here's something from a source considered fairly credible that may shorten that chuckle a bit:
U.N. urged to freeze climate geo-engineering projects
"It's absolutely inappropriate for a handful of governments in industrialized countries to make a decision to try geo-engineering without the approval of all the world's support," Pat Mooney, from Canada-headquartered advocacy organization ETC Group, told Reuters on the sidelines of the October 18-29 meeting. "They shouldn't proceed with real-life, in-the-environment experimentation or the deployment of any geo-engineering until there is a consensus in the United Nations that this is okay." Some conservation groups say geo-engineering is a way for some governments and companies to get out of taking steps to slash planet-warming emissions. The U.N. climate panel says a review of geo-engineering will be part of its next major report in 2013."
Later on in the text there was mention of one form of geoengineering that was alleged to be taking place regarding salted "Solar Reflectors"
The REASON for this? (from Reuters)
Some conservation groups say geo-engineering is a way for some governments and companies to get out of taking steps to slash planet-warming emissions.
The particular "Solar Reflector method" that caught my eye was this:
-- Spray seawater into the atmosphere to increase the reflectivity and condensation of clouds so they bounce more sunlight back into space.
(see website below for complete article:
www.reuters.com...
What is truly PERSONALLY verifiable is that I was sitting out on the deck with a neighbor, sipping a glass of wine (my first, btw...lol) and I remarked to her that I was seeing little sparkly things in the air, and pointed them out to her.
All around me I was seeing zillions of tiny lights, like water sparkling in the sun.
I was amazed. That was a FIRST! I wondered at the time what could possibly be causing the air to "sparkle"!! (no rain was expected anytime soon )
(Pardon me for posting twice on this subject, but I just ran into this article about geoengineering and geoengineering with solar reflectors and instantly remembered seeing this "sparkling air"experience. Are there any others out there who have had this experience but maybe couldn't link it to the subject at hand??)

Please provide verifiable data from the tests of the air samples from Chemtrails, taken by a qualified unbiased third party. Thanks so much. Otherwise it's highly speculative and in fact you for some reason are lumping into the mixture Crop Dusting and Cloud Seeding which nobody is hiding from anyone.
If I understand the Chemtrail myth, they, whoever they are, are trying to poison us all for some reason and thousands of Pilots and Crews are in on it and don't give a damn about their own families and loved ones and likely tens of thousands of people are keeping it secret and don't give a damn about their own families or loved ones.
Strangely enough, we keep living longer and longer lives each generation and we are healthier when we die, despite the Chemtrails. Any explanation?

Want to know how to spot THE biggest and most highly guarded conspiracies of all?
Watch the amount of debunking and ridiculing which takes place upon the subject matter.
When a subject and anyone discussing it are fervantly attacked each and every time, and anyone discussing its possibilities are referred to as "nut-jobs", "delusional", "paranoid", etc., you know you are onto something. Read the C.I.A. protocol for dealing with stifling discussion about highly sensitive material and subjects. There are methodologies right here on this very site being employed by certain members that will actually make you laugh out loud when you read the protocol outlined by spook agencies. It's straight out of disinfo 101.
3 hugest examples here on ATS---9 / 11, Aliens & UFOs, and THIS SUBJECT. Take a peek at virtually ALL the threads, and who the most prolific posters and ridiculers are on them, then draw your own conclusions.
Keep fighting the good fight people.
So the Chemtrail myth has adapted to include Cloud Seeding which is not a secret or being hidden?
How is something that is not hidden in any way part of a conspiracy?
Seems to me that the myth is adapting to the counter arguments, which mean Chemtrail folks are just making it up as they go along.

Cloud seeding is a CHEMICAL reaction.
So.........

Try not to pull "facts" out of your .... ear. Americans are living longer yes, but they are much sicker, the quality of their elderly years has gone down. So many people in nursing homes, I personally would rather die at the age of 70 being able to move around on my own than die at the age of 90 in a nursing home bed where I can't breathe or wipe my own butt or live through the day without heavy medication and treatments.
I don't see where he pulls facts out of his ass.. life expectancy has increased, not decreased.. As for health, there are many factors involved in declining health overall that can be attributed to that .. industrial pollution, benzene in your drinking water ( from plastics ), poor diet, decline in activity as convenience is on the rise.. None of those are chemtrails and all of them have a negative effect on overall health..
Given the context of the thread it's as if you are directly linking those health issues to chemical trails.. and boy is that a leap
Additionally, he raises very valid points in what he said, which you did not address.. What about the pilots who fly these missions? all of the people involved who would be willingly spraying their own friends and family? and to what purpose? why would they want to poison us? .. and to what effect? life expectancy has increased and I see PLENTY of well known things out there that can be blamed for health declines .. seems there's no need to be spraying anything, and if they are.. what a waste of time because it doesn't seem to do that much..
Mind control? well if that's the case why are there still so many who disagree on it? why isn't everyone agreeing on anything for that matter? .. if it's mind control it's not doing a very good job of that either..
It comes down to one scientific mantra .. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence and I've seen none.edit on 24-2-2011 by miniatus because: (no reason given)
