Yes, what I said about aviation is true. The Chemtrail Hoax started between the two times that I worked an airport job. In the late 80’s to early
90’s there was barely an internet for these topics to be discussed on. Later in 2000 I was not a member of a site such as this, so I did not pay any
attention to the topic. Though I had seen it mentioned on one site and dismissed it as some guy that was crazy.
I never suggested what you said about fuel to be untrue as i don't think this is yet a commercial operation. I don't yet know enough about the fuel
issue to prove or suggest otherwise but who knows!
What I did not realize at the time was that there was a whole community of folks that believed in this untruth.
Thanks for assuming stupidity instead of intelligence.

Why exactly do you believe so many US citizens to be wrong about something so easily
observed as different than it used to be?
What I can say for certain is that nothing changed in between those times except what I mentioned. Aircraft types, engines, and amount of
traffic.
Thanks for giving your opinion which i will disregard in the same manner you disregard those of others who have little reason to make this up.
Well if you can recall everything that has been written on this site about the topic, perhaps you know were to find the chart that either
Howard or OTS
Howard is a known liar who deliberately indulges in misdirection.
used to post showing the increase in air traffic. Even if we follow your estimate of 3%, that is 3% over at least 10 years, meaning a 30%
increase in traffic.
3% per decade ( in American skies and it's no more than that) or over the last three decades; feel free to do some research of your own.
Another thing that changed is that airlines such as SouthWest sprung up in that time. SouthWest airlines, was a volume carrier, ever at a small
airport they add a huge amount to the traffic.
3% added air traffic in American skies per decade; them seems to be the facts. One can simply not explain the sudden increase in persistent contrails
based on increase in, declared, air traffic volumes.
Add to that the fact that they only allow 30 minutes ground time (normally 30 minutes is minimum ground turn time on a 737 that has arrived
late, what we would call a burn-turn) on every flight and you can see how this is going to exponentially increase traffic. Other airlines started to
follow suit to compete offering more flights that cost less and turning those flights faster, meaning more time in the air for that aircraft during
the day.
A reasonably intelligent educated person, who wants to believe what suits him, can deny what he observes in a hundred 'logical' ways.
Essan, has knowledge of meteorology and a limited knowledge of aviation, and I have knowledge of aviation and a limited knowledge to
meteorology.
Well this is about meteorology so beside your objection that it's not 'technically' possible in a simple engineering sense why are you objecting?
Since the air traffic only increased by 3% in ten years this 'hoax' have been going how does one explain the following?
It will be noted that in October of 1997 a change in the reporting system of visibility data was reduced from a former maximum of 40 miles to a
limit of 10 miles. It is a reasonable question to ask as to why that change was made, and whether or not it was made in anticipation of certain events
to follow that involve large scale aircraft aerosol operations over large scale geographic regions.
It is observed that there are highly significant degradations in the visibility data immediately following this change in the reporting method.
Immediately after this change, the dramatic increase in visibility reports of less than 10 miles is quite apparent.
The graphs shown are taken from climatic archive data available for Santa Fe, NM from Jan 1994 to Mar 2001. Three different time periods are shown to
aid in demonstrating the magnitude of change which has occurred in visibility. The first graph shows all data available inclusive from Jan 1994 to Mar
2001. The second graph shows the transition zone during which the visibility standards were altered. This graph showns a period from Jan 1996 to Dec
1998; the change in reporting standard was made in Oct 1997. The third graph shows recent data, where visibility below 10 miles is now a regular
occurrence. This graph shows the period from Jan 1999 to Mar 2001.

The proposed revisions address two categories of particulate matter: fine particles (PM2.5), which are 2.5 micrometers in diameter and smaller;
and inhalable coarse particles (PM10-2.5), which are smaller than 10 micrometers in diameter but larger than PM2.5. EPA has had national air quality
standards for fine particles since 1997 and for coarse particles 10 micrometers and smaller (PM10) since 1987
EPA last revised the particulate matter standards in 1997. Under terms of a consent decree, EPA agreed to propose whether to revise the particulate
matter standards by December 20, 2005; and committed to finalizing any revisions to the standards by September 27, 2006.

Is it not obvious that something has changed in American skies and how can that be if the fuel has not changed and the air traffic volumes have not
increases significantly?
Your comparing apples and oranges. So posting questions to me on the subject of anything about the weather would get you an educated guess, but
not a fact, you would have to take up that kind of thing with someone like Essan.
I noticed and Essan does not seem to be responding to my post's. I will presume that his duties elsewhere are keeping him busy?
Airlines can literally spring up overnight, I have seen it happen: Branif, JetBlue, SouthWest, AmericanWest, Spirit, etc… Branif is a classic
example, I have personally seen them file bankruptcy and come back again out of the clear blue multiple times.
But since Americans can't fly much more than they do and still work 10 hours a day one supposes that the traffic just shifts between different
airlines all the time? How else can one explain the 'fact' ( feel free to check) that air traffic volumes have only increased by the margin i
previously stated?
Then you get airlines that fail and their newer more efficient aircraft are bought off by other airlines to replace an older aircraft. So the
short answer is yes, compared to other large companies, airlines can phase out their older aircraft at a surprisingly rapid rate.
But since the fuel all stayed the same one still have to explain the massive visibility standard fluctuation. Can such a small increase in air traffic
really acount for such a large change in America's skies without some other things taking place?
Probably the best-known of the aerial geoengineering proposals was that put forward in 1997 by Edward Teller and entitled ‘Global Warming and
the Ice Ages: Prospects for Physics-Based Modulation of Global Change’ subsequently popularised in the Wall Street Journal in an article entitled
‘The Planet Needs a Sunscreen’.
Teller proposed deliberate, large-scale introduction of reflective particles into the upper atmosphere, a task he claimed could be achieved for less
than $1 billion a year, between 0.1 and 1.0 percent of the $100 billion he estimated it would cost to bring fossil fuel usage in the United States
back down to 1990 levels, as required by the Treaty of Kyoto.
Characteristic of the politics of Teller is the fact that he both ridiculed the idea of global warming and at the same time put forward what he
represented as a solution to global warming. ‘For some reason,’ Teller observed sarcastically, ‘This option isn't as fashionable as all-out
war on fossil fuels and the people who use them.’

Several schemes depend on the effect of additional dust (or possibly soot) in the stratosphere or very low stratosphere screening out sunlight.
Such dust might be delivered to the stratosphere by various means, including being fired with large rifles or rockets or being lifted by hydrogen or
hot-air balloons. These possibilities appear feasible, economical, and capable of mitigating the effect of as much CO2 equivalent per year as we care
to pay for. (Lifting dust, or soot, to the tropopause or the low stratosphere with aircraft may be limited, at low cost, to the mitigation of 8 to 80
Gt CO2 equivalent per year.) Such systems could probably be put into full effect within a year or two of a decision to do so, and mitigation effects
would begin immediately. Because dust falls out naturally, if the delivery of dust were stopped, mitigation effects would cease within about 6 months
for dust (or soot) delivered to the tropopause and within a couple of years for dust delivered to the midstratosphere.

Add to this fact that when an airlines starts to fail the first thing that they do is file with the government under re-organization (I think
it called chapter 11), at which time the government hands them a huge sum of money to try and upgrade aircraft, retool their image, and make
themselves more profitable.
And one can only wonder how much of their souls they have to sell for these government handouts which i think is very much related to what is
happening in your ( our) skies.
I cant see how people that watch the skies can in good faith deny observing large scale changes but if they tell me that it is not possible i know
they have not looked at anywhere near the volumes of information i have.
