Workshop on Unilateral Planetary-Scale Geoengineering: Geoengineering and the Challenge of Global Governance
Stratospheric aerosols
Adding more of the right kind of fine particles to the stratosphere can increase the amount of sunlight that is reflected back into space.
They were talking about ways to control such measures and how to determine when and if they should be taken.
focus on the question of strategies for constraining and shapin geoengineering. We will explore formal, legal strategies as well as informal efforts to create norms that could govern testing and deployment of geoengineering systems and their possible undesirable consequences. We will probe whether it is possible to limit the use of geoengineering to circumstances of collective action by the international community in the face of true global emergencies and what might happen when there are disputes over when the emergency “trigger” should be pulled.

There are a variety of strategies, such as injecting light-reflecting particles into the stratosphere, that might be used to modify the Earth’s atmosphere-ocean system in an attempt to slow or reverse global warming. All of these "geoengineering" strategies involve great uncertainty and carry significant risks. They may not work as expected, imposing large unintended consequences on the climate system. While offsetting warming, most strategies are likely to leave other impacts unchecked, such as acidification of the ocean, the destruction of coral reefs, and changes in composition of terrestrial ecosystems. Yet, despite uncertain and very negative potential consequences, geoengineering might be needed to avert or reverse some dramatic change in the climate system, such as several meters of sea level rise that could impose disaster on hundreds of millions of people.

No. (off topic, btw)
That is not their "solution" it is one proposal for global warming mitigation. Here what the briefing for the meeting says:

It is, in part, this sort of discussion which led to the UN resolution regarding geoengineering. BTW, this was discussed here:

In 1969, writing with Paul R. Ehrlich, Holdren claimed that, "if the population control measures are not initiated immediately, and effectively, all the technology man can bring to bear will not fend off the misery to come."[9] In 1973 Holdren encouraged a decline in fertility to well below replacement in the United States, because "210 million now is too many and 280 million in 2040 is likely to be much too many"[10]. Currently, the U.S. population is 306,900,000[11]. In 1977 he co-authored (with Paul R. Ehrlich and Anne H. Ehrlich) Ecoscience[12], which discussed the possible role of a "planetary regime" in enforcing population control. Also discussed was the possibility of adding a sterilant to drinking water; "Adding a sterilant to drinking water or staple foods is a suggestion that seems to horrify people more than most proposals for involuntary fertility control. Indeed, this would pose some very difficult political, legal, and social questions, to say nothing of the technical problems. No such sterilant exists today, nor does one appear to be under development. To be acceptable, such a substance would have to meet some rather stiff requirements: it must be uniformly effective, despite widely varying doses received by individuals, and despite varying degrees of fertility and sensitivity among individuals; it must be free of dangerous or unpleasant side effects; and it must have no effect on members of the opposite sex, children, old people, pets, or livestock.".
"The general philosophy of UNESCO should be a scientific world humanism, global in extent and evolutionary in background...its education program it can stress the ultimate need for world political unity and familiarize all peoples with the implications of the transfer of full sovereignty from separate nations to a world organization...Political unification in some sort of world government will be required...Tasks for the media division of UNESCO (will be) to promote the growth of a common outlook shared by all nations and cultures...to help the emergence of a single world culture....Even though it is quite true that any radical eugenic policy will be for many years politically and psychologically impossible, it will be important for UNESCO to see that the eugenic problem is examined with the greatest care, and that the public mind is informed of the issues at stake so that much that now is unthinkable may at least become thinkable."

“If I were reincarnated I would wish to be returned to earth as a killer virus to lower human population levels.” - Prince Phillip, Duke of Edinburgh, leader of the World Wildlife Fund – quoted in “Are You Ready For Our New Age Future?,” Insiders Report, American Policy Center, December ’95
“A total population of 250-300 million people, a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal.” – Ted Turner – CNN founder and UN supporter – quoted in the McAlvany Intelligence Advisor, June ’96
“The world has a cancer, and that cancer is man.” – Merton Lambert, former spokesman for the Rockefeller foundation
“In order to stabilize world population, we must eliminate 350,000 people per day. It is a horrible thing to say, but it’s just as bad not to say it.” – Jacques Cousteau

No. The topic of this thread is the only "evidence" presented in the movie, the soils and water tests. Your pet thread is available for the wide open discussion about the other speculative aspects of the movie. In fact, you are free to talk about the tests there as well.
So how are they going to kill people if they are not raising aluminum levels? Never mind the fact that aluminum has not been shown to be very toxic. You'd think "they" could come up with something more effective than spraying an irritant around at high altitudes where most of it would end up who knows where.edit on 3/1/2011 by Phage because: (no reason given)

There are very real risks form aluminum presented in the movie. Also it is a 1-2 punch with the GMO seeds. Problem, Reaction, Solution... same old same old globalist world domination schema... they poison the land with aluminum and present GMO aluminum-resistant seeds with terminator genes which have show to sterilize lab rats within three generations.

My reason for creating this thread has not changed. It is to expose the obfuscation of the soils and water tests by the movie makers. I think they didn't get the results they wanted and had to try to convince people there was something there that wasn't. I think a lot of people fell for it.
So they are "poisoning the land" with something that is already there and always has been there. How redundant.
Please refute the OP. Please present evidence that aluminum levels in soil and water are rising across the planet. Please present evidence that aluminum in the soil has anything to do with "chemtrails". Oh, that's right. This is the Skunk Works. You don't need to do that. See, aren't you happy about that.
Continue...please.edit on 3/1/2011 by Phage because: (no reason given)
What about that sample from the snows of Mt. Shasta? Mt. Shasta is a pretty big mountain. They don’t say where they collected the snow
Plants don't need aluminum to grow. It's not an essential plant nutrient. Aluminum, however, is one of the prominent mineral components of silt and clay. Therefore, the earth's crust is naturally high in aluminum. Like zinc, manganese , copper and iron, the more acid the soil, the more aluminum will be dissolved into the soil solution. If the pH is allowed to drop much below 5.5, the availability of manganese and aluminum is increased to the point that they could become toxic to plants. Aluminum toxicity to plants is the main concern we have with acid soils in our region.
Soils are limed to reduce the harmful effects of low pH (aluminum or manganese toxicity) and to add calcium and magnesium to the soil.

Now, the guys in the movie are whining about increasing pH levels from the "chemtrails". So, the NWO is "spraying" some form of aluminum to "poison the earth", which increases the pH of the soil, which protects the plants from aluminum poisoning. Those sneaky bastards. It's the old double-cross...or something.
