Planes or airships could carry sun-dimming materials high into the atmosphere for an affordable price tag of below $5 billion a year as a way to slow climate change, a study indicated on Friday.
The strategy, called "solar radiation management", broadly imitates a volcanic eruption
The authors did not examine whether such "geo-engineering" of the planet was a good idea. Other studies show it might have unwanted side effects, such as changing rainfall patterns
"The deliberate large-scale intervention in the Earth's climate system, in order to moderate global warming." In other words, hack the planet.
putting one million metric tons of aerosols between 20 and 30 km into the air would require a mere $1 to $3 billion per year.

or is it nanotechnology theyre dumping on us? maybe a screen to project bluebeam onto?

The authors caution that reducing incident sunlight does nothing at all to reduce greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere, nor the resulting increase in the acid content of the oceans. They note that other research has shown that the effects of solar radiation management are not uniform, and would cause different temperature and precipitation changes in different countries.

The researchers make it clear that they have not sought to address the science of aerosols in the stratosphere, nor issues of risk, effectiveness or governance that will add to the costs of solar radiation management geoengineering.

I'm 100% certain they are not. Not least because the effects would be apparent (to those who know what to look for).
But I'm quite pleased to see that the authors of this study specifically say it's not a good idea. And that's even without the inevitable acid rain it'd cause.
Im fairly sure theyre already doing this, theyre just going to disclose it now and act like theyre just now starting to do this.
To understand different components of the Earth’s systems, Schmidt agrees that a few experiments are necessary. “I’m not generally against small-scale field experiments if they help us understand processes in nature,” says Schmidt. “But they should obviously be benign, and we should be very careful.” However, small-scale field tests are also limited, Schmidt believes, with climate simulations possibly being the only way to fully grasp the long-term and large-scale climate effects of geoengineering.

The chemtrail conspiracy is a hoax
And when I was a kid contrails did NOT last anywhere near as long as thicker ones last today. I see tic tac toes in the sky sometimes, there were never any tic tac toes in the sky when I was a kid
explain that!
Claim: Grid patterns of contrails in the sky are evidence of a systematic spraying operation.
Fact: The National Airspace System of the United States is orientated in an east-west and
north-south grid with aircraft flying at designated 2000 foot increments of elevation. Contrails
formed by aircraft may appear to form a grid as the winds disperse the contrails. More contrails
are seen in recent years due to the growth in the civil aviation market. The FAA is responsible
for the NAS and Air Force aircraft operate under the same rules and procedures as civilian
aircraft when using the NAS.
You haven't explained it at all though, so you can't say it's not hard to explain
And tic tac toes I am talking about maybe 2-4 planes leaving cross contrails, just 2-4 planes.
And the only way contrails could create tic tac toes is 2-4 planes left contrails that lasted wayyy too longgg
think about it before you reply
These guys are NUTS and they can keep their poisons away or I recommend action

So is the sun getting bigger and hotter and thus we need to spray chemicals in the atmosphere for protection OR are rogue governments trying to deliberately poison us?
I heard our solar system is entering a rough patch of the milky way galaxy and this is what is causing the sun to swell, cause solar flares, etc. Some people are predicting electro-magnetic anomalies this winters which could cause our electric grid to go down indefinitely.
Transporting a million tonnes of particles to at least 18 km (11 miles) above the Earth every year to form a sunshade is "both feasible and affordable", U.S. scientists concluded in the journal Environmental Research Letters.

I said a contrail left by ONE PLANE did not last nearly as long as one contrail left by today's planes.
