hmmm, looks like they've stumbled upon a umm, source of additional and unpredicted concentrated particulate emission
also it seems there's a move back to global cooling which i remember reading about in the 70's
funny how Mckennas predictions re the speeding up
of events/novelty have seemingly shifted into high gear this year
before the usual suspects arrive and noting
a lot of new members on your last thread, and for their benefit i'll start off with an expose on
chemtrail debunkers methods and tactics:
Debunking Chemtrail Debunkers - The Government's Quisling Shills
They try to "counsel" people against using the guidance of their eyes and their common sense in chemtrails; they, instead, apparently, want them to blindly obey "the official story".
Orgone tech for dispersing chemtrails or whatever is being... added to the athmosphere

The number of specific intervention methodologies is limited only by the imagination, but with few exceptions they involve infusing either energy or chemicals into the meteorological process in the right way, at the right place and time.
From 2002 onwards, a systematic increase has been reported by a number of investigators. Recently, the trend, based on ground-based lidar measurements, has been tentatively attributed to an increase of SO2 entering the stratosphere associated with coal burning in Southeast Asia. However, we demonstrate with these satellite measurements that the observed trend is mainly driven by a series of moderate but increasingly intense volcanic eruptions primarily at tropical latitudes. These events injected sulfur directly to altitudes between 18 and 20 km. The resulting aerosol particles are slowly lofted into the middle stratosphere by the Brewer-Dobson circulation and are eventually transported to higher latitudes.

So again we have the disinfo brigade presenting data that they do not read and/or do not understand.
Then when the obvious is pointed out they resort to ad hominem attacks & changing the goal posts.
Yes...they are certainly aware of the "rules of disinfo" - invented by their fellow conspiracy believers. And they are very good at following them.

Wow! I see I have some catching up to do.
I just wanted to comment about the video in your Op. As I listen to it, I can detect the "between the lines" stuff pretty easily. One part that stuck out at me is the way he says at the 3:20 mark in his comments about cloud brightening, we'll do it "preferably out over the sea where nobody's going to object". They know damn well that the majority of people would not be pro-geoengineering if they knew all they should about it.
I also find it interesting the way Delhi is concerned about climate change and the rising waters. I did a thread not too long ago about New Delhi not being very concerned about earthquake preparedness since they're not even updating their existing structures in the event they get a massive quake again. I see rising water from perceived global warming as the least of their worries. Somebody obviously doesn't have their priorities straight. Then again, there's more money through investing in geoengineering than there is updating their citizens' living quarters and shops.
Seeding such cirrus with very efficient heterogeneous ice nuclei should produce larger ice crystals due to vapor competition effects, thus increasing OLR and surface cooling.
A potential delivery mechanism for the seeding material is already in place: the airline industry. Since seeding aerosol residence times in the troposphere
climate sensitivity is very sensitive to upper tropospheric cloud cover and humidity, making cirrus clouds a logical candidate for climate modification efforts. Cirrus clouds also affect OLR more than other cloud types, with their modification directly addressing the radiation imbalance imposed by greenhouse gases
Since commercial airliners routinely fly in the region where cold cirrus clouds exist, it is hoped that the seeding material could either be (1) dissolved or suspended in their jet fuel and later burned with the fuel to create seeding aerosol, or (2) injected into the hot engine exhaust, which should vaporize the seeding material, allowing it to condense as aerosol in the jet contrail.
If phage is right and our climate swings so quickly with minor vulcanism, we sure as hell don't need to be geoengineering because a major volcano or two would send us tumbling...
In addition to analyses of the offsets and their impacts, research, analysis, and even prototype
demonstrations are needed of the various proposed approaches for augmenting the stratospheric
loading of sulfate aerosols. Among the approaches proposed have been aircraft, artillery,
balloon-held hoses, and upward mixing and then stratospheric oxidation of tropospherically inert
carbonyl sulfide (COS), each of which would introduce scientific and technological aspects
meriting research and development.

Your link to "Owning the Weather" has also been well explained already.
Some wish to read into it that title, and imagine all sorts of (wrong) assumptions. In short, that was a piece of imaginative science fiction. Not a "blueprint" or anything like that. More of a "What if??" kind of thing.....
So, can we focus on the NOAA research and studies??
The Convention on the Prohibition of Military or any other Hostile Use of Environmental Modification Techniques (ENMOD Convention) is an instrument of international disarmament law specifically intended to protect the environment in the event of armed conflict. It prohibits hostile use of the environment as a means of warfare. The provisions of Protocol I of 1977 additional to the Geneva Conventions of 1949 form an essential complement to those of the ENMOD Convention, as they directly prohibit damage to the environment during armed conflict. Other rules and principles of international humanitarian law also confer protection on the environment during armed conflict, though without mentioning it specifically. This is particularly the case with general customary principles regarding the conduct of hostilities, such as the principle of distinction, which limits attacks to military objectives, and that of proportionality, which prohibits the use of means and methods of warfare that cause excessive damage. The ENMOD Convention was negotiated at the Conference of the Disarmament Commission and was adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations on 10 December 1976. It was opened for signature in Geneva on 18 May 1977, and entered into force on 5 October 1978.

Who said minor volcanism caused a climate swing? It resulted in a reduction of forcing by 0.1 W/m2. Partly offsetting the increase in forcing caused by the increase in CO2 over that period of time.
There have been more than a major volcano or two in our lifetimes. They didn't send us tumbling.

Sorry, dude...again, no "proof" as suggested (but, you did use a '?' in the title).
Given that, the OP is a clutch of facts and misinformation, rolled into one. It is also a bit of a 'blitzkrieg" of info, making it more time-consuming to address each and every aspect where sources are known to be questionable.
NOAA did, quote in my OP - sorry if you object to "swing" ... modification better?
On the contrary, from your source:
Neither I nor you can prove how much has or has not been caused by this minor vulcanism... NOAA can't even do that apparently.
“Stratospheric aerosol increased surprisingly rapidly in that time, almost doubling during the decade,” Daniel said. “The increase in aerosols since 2000 implies a cooling effect of about 0.1 watts per square meter – enough to offset some of the 0.28 watts per square meter warming effect from the carbon dioxide increase during that same period.”
Well that would depend on the amount of artificial SRM I suppose but no, I don't think it could send us into an ice age unless there were a bunch of major eruptions which continued for some time. The Pinatubo eruption (quite major) caused a drop in temperature of about 0.25ºC which peaked a year or so after the eruption. So, if SRM were ever used and if it was successful at stabilizing temperatures, a Pinatubo eruption or two probably wouldn't cause an ice age.
However, would you not agree that if this minor vulcanism is indeed causing such a modification, then major vulcanism on top of SRM - which could send us into an ice age - is more dangerus than any slow, gradual climate warming?
I suggest, weither or not SRM has begun, this is technology that SHOULD NOT be considered...

Thank you for illustrating for me.
Care to address my op, or otherwise bring anything to this discussion that is on topic?

Yes, there is much research being done on the potential effects of SRM. But I disagree about your stance on research. While I don't think SRM is necessarily a good option, I think research (in the form of modeling) should be done in the event that climate change (warming) reaches the point of catastrophic loss of life and property. That same research will also help us understand the impacts of major volcanism and other factors on our climate.
in 2002, Teller, who worked for the U.S. Department
of Energy, along with colleagues Roderick Hyde and Lowell
Wood, submitted an article to the U.S. National Academy
of Engineering in which they argued that geoengineering
– not reduction of GHG emissions – “is the path mandated
by the pertinent provisions of the UN Framework
Convention on Climate Change.”17 www.etcgroup.org...

Geoengineering should be viewed as a choice of last resort... . Geoengineering would be a gamble.
I don’t think scientists know enough today about consequences of geoengineering to climate...
