As I metioned before, the prevailing winds travel form west to east. You mentuioned that the contrails were moving from west to east,

No, I did not say that I said

SSW to NNE

which means the chemtrails were almost
south to north as 2 S's means more south
than west. Read the OP again please

I would say the idea wouldnt work as well as the models suggest.

well this theory is coming from MIT.
Do you have more credentials than MIT
to make that judgment call?
Remember, you called me out on my
qualifications, turn about is fair play

another fact that I have noticed which gives
credence to this theory being used on Earl.
Earl has been downgraded from Cat 4 to Cat 3
several times over the past 24-36 hrs
yet it hasn't changed into the cooler
water temperatures yet. Wouldn't
that be an indicator of some sort
of interdiction?

no, not prevented
just diverted to another location
as once it gets in the gulf it had to
make landfall somewhere.

Sorry sir, to take offense of you just blowing off New Orleans.

So you are saying that, based on your "theory" they could not have diverted the eye further west into the middle of Louisiana instead of right in the middle of downtown NOLA???
MIT hasn't been doing enough testing, huh?

Try,try again...

No, the theory is not coming from MIT. It is coming from Moshe Alamaro, a grad student who does some research there in the Health Sciences Department. Not Physics, Fluid Dynamics, Meteorology or other relevant field.
Now, let's do a little math and see about using carbon to paint a hurricane. Earl has an average radius of 200 miles. That means it covers 125,600 square miles. Time to go metric here. That's 325,302,506,658 square meters or about a third of a trillion (with a t) square meters. Let's say you want to paint with pure carbon black to a thickness of 3 mm. That means you need right at a billion cubic meters of carbon black, if you assume perfect efficiency. The density of pure carbon is right at 2 grams/cubic centimeter so in a cubic meter you have 100*100*100*2 grams, or 2 million grams. That's 4,409 pounds per cubic meter, and you need a billion cubic meters, so you need 4 and one half trillion pounds of carbon. The 747-8 Freighter I fly when they get really hard up for typed pilots has a max payload with full fuel of just under 150,000 pounds. So you need 30 million Boeing 747s to do the job. Trouble is, Boeing only made 109 of them, as of last June. I don't think Moishe has really thought this through.
And no, my PhD is not from MIT. It's from the University of Chicago where the first nuclear reactor was constructed. Under the squash court, by the way. And the home of Fermilab and Argonne Nat'l Lab.

OK, maybe Moshe only needs to paint half of it. That still requires orders of magnitude more aircraft than have ever been made.
Now you tell me exactly how much, and what part, of he hurricane needs painting.

bro, we just don't know at this point
how much needs painting to make a directional
shift or slow it down. The article was not that
in depth. But it was from 2007 so I'm ASSUMING
he has worked on this theory since the article
was published. Who knows, maybe even for
the US Military???

But the theory would give credence to the
proximity of a hurricane and chemtrails.
