I am highly interested in the whole chemtrail business,what I would like to know is; has anyone flown through the chemtrails with some sort of spectographic analytical equipment so that it could be analyzed right where it is being dispersed? Might answer a lot of questions or raise a bunch of new ones...

Off the subject of chemtrails, lets talk about contrails..
The fact that we see all these persistent contrails that form clouds and it has been studied and shown they may add to global warming..That all OK so far??
Now we also know that a mere few thousand feet difference may mean the trails do not persist or possibly even show any noticeable contrail at all..
So why don't planes alter their altitudes to conform with areas that are NOT conducive to contrails.??
I know of the fuel issue but is it really that much difference?
Is it worth blocking out our clear blue skies?
As well as the seasonal variation in atmospheric conditions, which the team estimated would require a general ceiling on flight altitudes (summer: 31,000 feet, winter: 24,000 feet), they also found significant day to day variations, so any contrail reduction strategy would work better if it were reactive on a daily basis. They also found days when the atmospheric conditions made it almost impossible to avoid contrail formation.

Melbourne, and in fact most of Australia has very little contrails because we aren't underneath flight paths like Europe or the USA are.
This is a pretty informative site about contrails (and the lack of) over Perth:

I've seen many contrails out in the middle of the desert where I used to work too, international flights to Asia was my guess due to their Northward direction.
Strontium is always present in air as dust, up to a certain level. Strontium concentrations in air are increased by human activities, such as coal and oil combustion. Dust particles that contain strontium will settle to surface water, soils or plant surfaces at some point. When the particles do not settle they will fall back onto earth when rain or snow falls. All strontium will eventually end up in soils or bottoms of surface waters, where they mix with strontium that is already present.
A rollicking rampage by VW bus in the dust bowl of Northern California, February, 2009, during one of the driest and dustiest Snow Trips in the nine years since its inception.
Many different types of wind system are involved in dust transport, including small-scale dust devils (whirlwinds), mountain and valley winds, trade winds, thunderstorm downdrafts, monsoonal winds, and winds associated with mid-latitude depressions. Localized dust blowing may be caused by any set of conditions that produces steep thermal or pressure gradients.
Another unmentioned consequence of global warming (that all spring BC riders can see with our own eyes) is an increase in the transport and deposition of dust in our snowpack.
Air-to-snow mineral transfer of crustal species on the Greenland Ice Sheet was studied at Dye 3 during a full annual cycle (August 1988–August 1989) and at Summit during a summer campaign (May 1991–September 1991). At Dye 3, continuously sampled aerosols (54 filters) show a clear seasonal cycle of insoluble mineral elements (Al, Fe, Ca) with strong concentration peaks in April. The simultaneous collection of fresh snows (32 precipitation events) reveals the same seasonal picture. Furthermore, a comparison of metal concentrations in both aerosol and snow indicates that the transfer of crustal elements (Fe or Al) from air to snow seems to occur without fractionation. This one year seasonal cycle is recovered in snowpits excavated at Dye 3 (1 yr) and at Summit (3 yr) exhibiting no major post-depositional changes of crustal elements in aging snow. This suggests that the insoluble fraction of crustal elements, such as Fe or Al, in Arctic snows accurately reflects the seasonal atmospheric signal of mineral aerosols.

At least your destination was nice.
My flights flew over the desert to land...in the desert!

You continue to say that I don't answer your questions. I have addressed where the "high levels" in the snow probably came from. I have also pointed out that without full spectrum testing there is really no way to determine if the levels found represent anything unusual. All they tell us is there was a certain amount of contamination in the snow. Why must it be either "Gobi sand" or "spraying". What's wrong with local sources?

Aluminum and other crustal elements get into rain and snow, even fresh snow, without help from above. There is no need to invoke "spraying". I've also pointed out the illogic of the "spraying" scenario. "Spraying" only affects the snow? It only affects the water? Somehow those "high levels" are not seen in the soils samples. Why would that be? Can you explain that? The supposed "spraying" started 15 years ago. Where did all that metal that settled to the ground go?
Re: the visual effects of aerosols. The composition of the particles is of much less significance to the scattering properties than their size. Any particle smaller than the wavelength of light will have similar effect. I take it you didn't see, or don't remember "Pinatubo sunsets". They bore no similarity to "normal" sunsets, including those in Hawaii. Hawaiian volcanoes do not throw aerosols into the stratosphere but they do create a nasty low level pollution called vog.
Re: aerosols and persistence. There is no reason to expect persistence to be affected by aerosols. The sublimation of the ice particles into water vapor is a function of temperature and pressure.edit on 3/7/2011 by Phage because: (no reason given)
only if the mass balance was such that there was enough to make a difference - pH in water is quite different than pH in soil. The form of each species is determined by the pH, rather than driving the change of pH. It's easier to get with a compound like calcium hydroxide - also known as lime. The dissolution of the material creates hydroxide which increases pH. All these three elements go to hydroxides at high pH - the form will alter the reactive chemistry - the oxides form at high pH and are inert

The movie implies that geoengineering efforts are causing increasing pH levels in the Mt. Shasta area (and presumably elsewhere). Are you aware of any studies which demonstrate a widespread increase in soil pH levels? Is there any basis for the claim that the alleged elevated levels of aluminum account for the alleged increase. Is it possible that the amount of barium found in the soil (81.4 mg/kg) could account for the rise in pH?

I do not think that the spraying drives the pH in either water or land - just not enough mass present.

I told you I have seen dust and other stuff thousands of feet above the ground with my own eyes. There is no way to rule out the possibility of local dust contamination.

Funny, they keep asking you the same question.

His opinion seemed pretty clear to me.

And mtn climbers drink that aircrap. Good thing they are young and healthy sorts. Sorry about the side effects of a hefty shot of aluminum, barium, strontium, boron and some arsenic. We have no idea whether it is going into our groundwater or not. "
