Site that Watches Geoengineering
Not a very credible site when it pushes Dutchsinse, and Michael J. Murphy videos.

I am thinking Ron White was correct. You can't fix stupid. It's forever.
Let them wallow in their own brain dead stew. I am done. Throwing in the towel. What is the point?

Thusly, then, it's still up for grabs and as such should remain an open subject and thereby not have any restrictions placed on its discussion.
Actually it isn't up for grabs especially when the top geoengineering scientist says they aren't related..
And here is the problem with chemtrail believers as they say they want the truth, yet...

And then you completely change the engine. Aircraft are extremely sensitive to changes, and a simple change in metals used in the engine can change the characteristics enough that it would be noticed. Even if the flight crew didn't the maintenance crew would.
Stealth aircraft lack of contrails has more to do with detecting and not flying through areas where contrails form and less to do with the engines.edit on 11/17/2013 by Zaphod58 because: (no reason given)
We were excited to have numerous distinguished attendees at DACS, including: Rob Socolow, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ Peter Eisenberger, Global Thermostat, New York, NY Christopher Jones, Georgia Tech, Atlanta, GA Michael Desmond, BP, Chicago, IL Sasha Mackler, Summit Power Group, Seattle, WA Anthony Galasso, Boeing Phantom Works, Seal Beach, CA David Hawkins, Natural Resources Defense Council, Washington, DC David Keith, Carbon Engineering and Harvard University, Calgary, AB Oliver Morton, The Economist, London, UK Tim Fox, UK Institution of Mechanical Engineers, London, UK Steven Hamburg, Environmental Defense Fund, Washington, DC
So the Microsoft (MSFT) billionaire and philanthropist has stepped into the breach to become the world's leading funder of research into geoengineering -- deliberate, large-scale interventions in the earth's climate system intended to prevent climate change and its repercussions. Since 2007, Gates has given about $4.6 million of his money to Caldeira and Keith for geoengineering research. Intellectual Ventures, a private company funded in part by Gates, has explored such technologies as building an 18-mile-long hose, tethered by balloons, that would spray tiny particles into the stratosphere to block the sun's rays. Gates has even attached his name to a patent application for ocean-churning technology designed to sap the strength of hurricanes, which appear to be getting fiercer because of global warming.
Unlike Gates' other passions -- improving the health of the global poor or reforming America's schools -- geoengineering is scary and maybe even a little nuts. (Or a lot nuts: Some enthusiasts talk about exploding nuclear weapons on the moon to shift its orbit to block more of the sun's rays.) The idea isn't new. The first White House report to talk about global warming said that "deliberately bringing about countervailing climatic change," i.e., geoengineering, should "be thoroughly explored." That was back in 1965. But people are paying more attention now because efforts to curb greenhouse gas emissions are failing, miserably. Despite the UN climate negotiations and the Kyoto Protocol, the growth of solar and wind power, and all the talk about the Prius and the curly light bulb, global emissions have risen by 40% -- yes, 40% -- since 1990.
Lately another approach to cooling the planet, with far fewer risks, has attracted the attention of a handful of prominent scientists and several wealthy investors, Gates among them. It's a straightforward, albeit audacious, way to deal with the threat of global warming: Build many thousands of big machines to remove carbon dioxide from the air.

Also how did you come to the conclusion that carbonengineering.com is a propaganda site?

AS A way of saying you've arrived, being the subject of some carefully contrived paragraphs in the proceedings of a United Nations conference is not as dramatic as playing Wembley or holding a million-man march. But for geoengineering, those paragraphs from the recent conference of the parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) in Nagoya, Japan, marked a definite coming of age. Geoengineering is shorthand for the idea of fixing the problem of man-made climate change once the greenhouse gases that cause it have already been emitted into the atmosphere, rather than trying to stop those emissions happening in the first place. Ideas for such fixes include smogging up the air to reflect more sunlight back into space, sucking in excess carbon dioxide using plants or chemistry, and locking up the glaciers of the world's ice caps so that they cannot fall into the ocean and cause sea levels to rise.

apparently they are credible enough for chemise to mistquote and misrepresent as evidence chemtrails exist tho - how do you resolve difference between believing what he says and not believing exactly the same thing??
In addition to the federal and state grants received by the Texas Clean Energy Project ($450 million dollars), Summit is expert at successfully obtaining grant, ITC and PTC benefits at the federal and state level for its clients and its own renewable projects. Summit has secured $313 million in investment tax credits for the Texas Clean Energy Project as well as more than $300 million dollars in Federal renewable energy incentives, including Production Tax Credits, Section 1603 Cash Grants and Investment Tax Credits, for wind and solar energy projects it has developed, and has been integrally involved in many other projects receiving benefits from incentive programs.

Boeing Phantom Works Seal Beach, CA
What is the connection with Carbon Engineering? This appears to be Boeings law firm.
SAN FRANCISCO — Darryl Davis, president of Boeing Phantom Works, said it is a widely held misconception that his organization is engaged primarily in classified projects. “I don’t know why people think everything we do is under cloak of darkness,” Davis said. “We do things we can’t talk about, but we do an awful lot of really fun stuff we can and do talk about.”
For example, Phantom Works executives can discuss efforts underway to build miniature satellites for the U.S. National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) and reusable boosters for the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). As for the X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle, a suborbital spaceplane scheduled for launch Oct. 30 on a United Launch Alliance Atlas 5 booster from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, Davis has no comment except to say the program began at Phantom Works before being handed off to Boeing’s Experimental Systems Group in Seal Beach, Calif.

Carbon Engineering (CE) is commercializing technology to capture carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere, which we will use to enable production of ultra-low carbon fuels.
Air capture of CO2 enables large facilities to manage emissions from any source or location so that industrial economies of scale can be applied to the large fraction of emissions that come from distributed and mobile sources such as vehicles, airplanes, and buildings. Air capture can provide pure CO2 at point of demand for industrial use, and atmospheric CO2 can be used via multiple production pathways to manufacture ultra-low emissions fuels.
Try doing a little research some time!!
