You were not responding to me, but when you wrote that this thread was not about "is, or isn't chemtrails", I beg to differ.
This is a sentence that is written in the Opening Post:
Chemtrails in the making.
Now, to address the "reflecting back into space" of sunlight? Here's a challenge for you (or anyone):
Find some credible research that compares the over-all average amount of naturally occurring cloud cover on the Globe, on the day-lit side to the over-all average of "artificially" produced cirrus clouds, AKA contrails.
Just a simple percentage comparison of some sort. Want to make any predictions, guesses?
Do contrails, that only exist because of high altitude airplane flights, account for 1% of the total over-all cloud coverage?
5%?
10%?
15%
How much, compared to what will occur anyway, as part of natural weather cycles and behavior?
I believe that source to be flawed.
If you find ANY error on this site, then let me know and I will issue a correction immediately.
Maybe have another look, elsewhere.
Blah diddly blah blahdy blah blah. Bird? Bit like a magpie? What's to be proud about? Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, don't you think?

It is the utter stupidity of the theory that it ludicrous.
These same people also peddle that persistent contrails didn't exist before the late 1990s. They pick up the idea from people jumping on the chemtrail bandwagon purely to make money out of very gullible people.
I wasn't talking to you.

These same people will not see that there is a great proliferation of 'persistent contrails', 'cirrus aviaticus', 'aircraft-induced cirrus', 'induced cirrus', what's it called again? They will not see that it is a very common sight, having your blue sky turned to off-white in a couple of hours as a direct result of aircraft passing and creating clouds - not contrails - clouds. It's really quite simple.

Yes you were "responding" to PB when he was not responding to you, but someone else.
And posted on a forum open to the world.edit on 1/23/2012 by Chamberf=6 because: (no reason given)

Not sure what your point is?

Who is that then?
I can certainly "entertain the possibility" that something is being sprayed at high altitude for some purpose.
But that is all it remains until the evidence is examined - a possibility.
And when I entertain the possibility I conclude that if it WERE happening then there would be some verifiable evidence - there would be aircraft systems, there would be chemicals and suppliers and people involved. There would be the ability to sample the distribution of whatever was being sprayed, and there would be levels of "something" in the atmosphere that are different from what we might expect normally.
In the absence of any of these I conclude that in fact "the possibility" is actually not happening at all.
Of course it might start tomorrow - in which case I expect all that evidence to become available at some time in the future - but its absence from 15 or more years of putative chemtrails convinces me that it hasn't been happening in the time frame claimed.

Do you think you or I have unfettered access to any and all 'classified' projects that may be undertaken by those whose job it might be to carry them out? Clearly not. This argument about being 'impossible to cover up' because there are 'people involved'..someone would have talked etc. isn't always true to the reality of how these things work.
The Manhatten Project involved 120,000 personnel, and not one person spilled the beans. Not one.
Bletchley - Enigma machine - no-one talked. There are plenty of examples of conspiracies were people never talked....why would they? They'd only be incriminating themselves in most cases. It's easy to see what someone's motivation might be in those circumstances. Bottom line: it's a fallacious argument to say: it's not possible because there are 'people involved'.
Just say there was a geo-engineering effort going down...indulge me.... and answer these three questions:
1. What form would it take?
2. Would it be controversial?
3. What might it look like?
