If you are truly studying aerosol geoengineering, then you know that the focus is on levels far above normal cruising altitudes; the whole idea is to keep the aerosols airborne!
What goes up must (usually, unless it breaks free and goes on into space ) come down.

If global warming mitigation is the object, what is so nefarious about that?
Why such paranoia?
Please pull this thread back to a rational discussion

1.The real problems with stratospheric (and higher) application of aerosols are decomposition due to UV exposure and "bleeding off" or dissipation.
What? The stratosphere starts as low as 26,000' depending on your location..
Well within flight path cruise heights..
That is the only relevant location for that study.
Are you now trying to debunk the "geoengineers?"
Because of this temperature stratification, there is little convection and mixing in the stratosphere, so the layers of air there are quite stable. Commercial jet aircraft fly in the lower stratosphere to avoid the turbulence which is common in the troposphere below.

When you think about it, it doesn't take wealth to be a geo-engineer. When you fertilize soil, or eradicate pests, aren't you geoengineering on a small scale? However, I don't think there is any one person, family or NGO capable of even attempting a global effort.
Maybe you need to google Rothschild family wealth and get back to me on that.
the canadian paper ... goes into great detail on 747 flying at 45k which is in well into the stratosphere, which i noted in my post. They also discuss the engines and research needed to get to the top of the stratosphere well above 100k.

The people on the street in New York City are not the best group to gauge public awareness
But it is good to see that ATS has brought this issue directly to some people who may not have ever heard about it.
Except, you immediately revert from "stratospheric" to tropospheric altitudes where you can fit the SO2 studies to commercial flight paths.

I have; I've even started a thread on the Bilderberg group. That doesn't mean they are geoengineering.
If you looked at the charts, you'd see that theoretically-enhanced 747s are the least effective option among the many discussed. They barely touch the equatorial stratosphere. Moreover, they do not have the present day capability to effect the optimum application of SO2 for SRM. The study says so itself.
Aren't we going to discuss what's really happening instead of more possibilities? If not, you might as well discuss the other options of the study, including cannon, airships and floating pipelines.

What is nefarious is carrying out geoengineering while saying they are not.
Nefarious is implementing it at all because there is no predicting the harmful side effects.
They can not even accurately predict the weather next week let alone how dumping tons of aerosols into the stratosphere will affect biological systems.
The side effects could be extremely devastating.
What is nefarious is that man made global warming is NOT a proven science.
As a matter of fact those suggesting man made global warming have been proven to be nefarious in the way they twisted data.

I don't give two hoots about one particular study..
YOU were stating things in a general sense that were incorrect..
I will not fall for your twisting of comments..
While details of some secret trials have emerged in recent years, the 60-page report reveals new information about more than 100 covert experiments.
The report reveals that military personnel were briefed to tell any 'inquisitive inquirer' the trials were part of research projects into weather and air pollution.
The tests, carried out by government scientists at Porton Down, were designed to help the MoD assess Britain's vulnerability if the Russians were to have released clouds of deadly germs over the country.
The only twisting, is your attempted mis-characterization of my statements, slowly, slowly in the wind.

Care to comment ???
The bottom of the stratosphere is around 16 km (10 miles or 53,000 feet) above Earth's surface near the equator, around 10 km (6 miles) at mid-latitudes, and around 8 km (5 miles) near the poles.

You mean the most ethnically and socially diverse city in the country isn't a fair sample? How do you support thisprejudiced opinion?
But it is good to see that ATS has brought this issue directly to some people who may not have ever heard about it.
It is also good that you come to realize that you may be making more of this than it deserves.

More clouds in the lower atmosphere
Early proposals suggested using sulfur. That would cause acid rain.
John Latham of the National Center for Atmospheric Research has proposed that salt from seawater could be effectively used as cloud condensation nuclei.
Stephen Salter of the University of Edinburgh has designed an "albedo spray vessel" which would put the Latham theory into practice.

I was merely commenting on this false statement by you..
Except, you immediately revert from "stratospheric" to tropospheric altitudes where you can fit the SO2 studies to commercial flight paths.
Who's to say some of them studies are not simply red herrings to cover the real scenario..
I don't trust our leaders, never have, never will...
Again, the "Canadian study" focused strictly on equatorial applications. Well-above off-the-shelf 747s usual ceiling. That is the only study I've specifically addressed.
What's your point; that airplanes are spraying geoengineering aerosols in the "mid latitudes?" Who says so?

BS mate..I posted above that I was commenting on your MISLEADING statements that commercial jets do not fly in the stratosphere..
That's it...Get over it..You were shown to be wrong...
