There are a variety of strategies, such as injecting light-reflecting particles into the stratosphere , that might be used to modify the Earth’s atmosphere-ocean system in an attempt to slow or reverse global warming. All of these "geoengineering" strategies involve great uncertainty and carry significant risks. They may not work as expected, imposing large unintended consequences on the climate system. While offsetting warming, most strategies are likely to leave other impacts unchecked, such as acidification of the ocean, the destruction of coral reefs, and changes in composition of terrestrial ecosystems. Yet, despite uncertain and very negative potential consequences, geoengineering might be needed

set norms about responsible geoengineering. This approach would recognize that international law is weak (especially when inconvenient), but norms can be powerful if they become internalized within the communities that might contemplate geoengineering. Historically, similar norms emerged around the deployment of nuclear weapons—for example, against the “first use” of nuclear weapons and against reckless testing of weapons—and probably helped reduce the danger of nuclear war. Important norms have emerged about safe testing and deployment of genetically engineered crops.
At the workshop we should discuss what norms should govern geoengineering and how they might gain widespread adherence.
Getting all relevant nations to adhere to such norms may be especially difficult.
...geoengineering seems to be so inexpensive that large NGOs and rich individuals could do these things on their own.

Still waiting for anyone to tell me how contrails could form when the conditions for contrails did not exist
why would anyone tell you that?
Typical procedure from the debunkers perspective. Avoid answering the valid questions that are asked of you.
ETA for all those asking about the weather ballon. Mat originally posted this, I've posted it twice before this, and it continues to be avoided. I don't give a darn about the radar. The weather ballon data shows contrails could not form on the days he recorded "contrails"... so what were they if contrails could not form?

Finally, some kind of answer, but still not what I am looking for.

ROFLOL
Yep you're the one who's been waiting on an answer. You're so put upon. Mat posted this and I reiterated it over and over for pages and pages. 11 pages now. Gotta love all the cherry picking going on.
You've been ignoreing this from at least this post 11 pages.
I guess you still haven't bothered to watch it. All the info is in the video.edit on 25-3-2011 by pianopraze because: formatting
I, and others, will continue to refer to it as a religion. You all have FAITH that it is going on, inspite of no concrete evidence of it. When your chemtrail belief is attacked or debunked, you all get upset over it, just like how people react when their religion is attacked.
Sorry, but it is very much a faith based belief system you have. And like for many who are rather religious, they will eschew science anytime it is in opposition to that closely held belief. So if you do not like chemtrails being called a religion, then you all should quite having such religious type zeal about your faith in being sprayed.
Someday you will have to learn how a weather radar works. And no, release of some metal powder is not going to show up on it either.

Chaff:
It is not particulate material.
Particles smaller than microwave wavelengths (millimeters) are too small to be detected by radar. That why chaff is the size it is.

Its much more substantive to debate peoples words and thoughts, that for people to try to debate via youtube. If everyone just slapped up youtube videos in place of their own thoughts, where would it get us?
Points of views are best expressed with clear thoughts, not links to youtube videos.Is it your video or someone elses?edit on 25-3-2011 by firepilot because: (no reason given)
Calculated Omission
Otherwise known as “cherry picking” data. One simple piece of information or root item of truth can derail an entire disinfo news story, so instead of trying to gloss over it, they simply pretend as if it doesn’t exist. When the fact is omitted, the lie can appear entirely rational. This tactic is also used extensively when disinformation agents and crooked journalists engage in open debate.
17. Change the subject. Usually in connection with one of the other ploys listed here, find a way to side-track the discussion with abrasive or controversial comments in hopes of turning attention to a new, more manageable topic.
3. Create rumor mongers. Avoid discussing issues by describing all charges, regardless of venue or evidence, as mere rumors and wild accusations. Other derogatory terms mutually exclusive of truth may work as well. This method which works especially well with a silent press, because the only way the public can learn of the facts are through such 'arguable rumors'. If you can associate the material with the Internet, use this fact to certify it a 'wild rumor' from a 'bunch of kids on the Internet' which can have no basis in fact.

As soon as the particulate matter is released. it collects the moisture from the air which you have described to great detail. Well that process makes the particles big enough so tat they appear to be rain drops. That is how I believe that aluminum particulates can show up on radar and look like a big storm front but actually contain very little precipitation.

Humidity and temperature on the ground means nothing when contrails are forming 30,000 feet above.

It's looking pretty acurate to me.
But it is just a guide developed in the 60's.
So with all that information, you have still not shown how contrails could form when the conditions do not exist.
