Background on stratospheric aerosol injection Volcanic eruptions naturally produce aerosol that cools the planet by reflecting back sunlight. For example, the eruption of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines in 1991 decreased the 1992 global mean temperature of the Earth by about 0.5ºC.9 These “natural experiments” raise the possibility of intentionally injecting sulfate aerosols into the stratosphere to offset the warming effects of climate change. Our understanding is that scientists believe it to be likely, though not certain, that such an effort would be feasible and would result in lower average global temperatures.

Recently a new term has popped up with relation to geo-engineering. SAI. IN the past, it was referred to as SRM, or solar radiation management. SAI is Stratospheric Aerosol injection.

Now the key ingredient here is knowledge. Those who fear that "they" are spraying us based on the white lines in the sky that look an awful lot like contrails, are made by planes flying in the troposphere. SAI has an interesting angle in that the "S" stands for Stratosphere, which is higher than the troposphere.
Troposphere is up to 7-8 miles up. The Stratosphere is from 8 to 30 miles up. (just to be clear, most planes fly at around 6 miles up for best fuel efficiency.) And looking at a flight tracking app will provide the planes exact altitude.
During the last volcanic eruption, does anyone remember the result looking like white lines in the sky? Or did it just look like a slight haze? Because that is the result SAI is looking for. So unless it's openly discussed, it's very likely that we, the public won't know it's taking place. So keeping up with the real science behind all this is a very good idea. Immersing yourself in a conspiracy is a very bad idea. You will spend your time chasing unicorns, and never actually focusing on the reality of this issue. Which is why I continually post about this topic. I'd prefer to have lots of people looking into all aspects of this, and have them UNDERSTAND what is actually happening, so they are able to make intelligent informed statements about this topic.
For the record, I do not get paid to post this information, nor am I employed by anyone. I am self employed and work on computer networks. So please keep the snarky comments about agendas to yourself.

Could you clarify? What result is SAI looking for: white lines or a slight haze? Regardless if you have an agenda, I appreciate the post and clarifying the result. Thanks in advance.

But But, you do have an agenda....you just said so.

Anyway aircraft and all their shortcomings, are warming us up a tad, not too much, polluting quite a bit, they are good at that...but we don't want to talk about that.....

Actually, you are free to start a thread on how much air traffic contributes to local/global temps. It's a very interesting topic and quite a few studies are taking place right now about that very thing. But sadly, it has not a damn thing to do with SAI.
Various techniques have been proposed for delivering the aerosol precursor gases (H2S and SO2).[2] The required altitude to enter the stratosphere is the height of the tropopause, which varies from 11 km (6.8 miles/36,000 feet) at the poles to 17 km (11 miles/58,000 feet) at the equator.
Airliners could use lower-quality sulfur-rich fuels on higher altitudes. That approach would utilize regular flights and enable airlines to use cheaper fuels on long-distance flights. It would require separate fuel tanks for takeoff and landing in populated areas, due to toxicity and olfactory sensations of sulfur oxides.
Civilian aircraft including the Boeing 747-400 and Gulfstream G550/650, C-37A could be modified at relatively low cost to deliver sufficient amounts of required material.[29] Military aircraft such as the F15-C variant of the F-15 Eagle have the necessary flight ceiling, but limited payload. Military tanker aircraft such as the KC-135 Stratotanker and KC-10 Extender also have the necessary ceiling and have greater payload capacity.[4]
Modified artillery might have the necessary capability,[30] but requires a polluting and expensive gunpowder charge to loft the payload. Railgun artillery could be a non-polluting alternative.
High-altitude balloons can be used to lift precursor gases, in tanks, bladders or in the balloons' envelope. Balloons can also be used to lift pipes and hoses, but no moored balloon has ever been deployed to the necessary altitude.[citation needed]
Ozone depletion: is a potential side effect of sulfur aerosols;[23][24] and these concerns have been supported by modelling.[25] However, this may only occur if high enough quantities of aerosols drift to, or are deposited in, Polar stratospheric clouds before the levels of CFCs and other ozone destroying gases fall naturally to safe levels because stratospheric aerosols, together with the ozone destroying gases, are responsible for ozone depletion.[26]
It is doing nothing more than spreading ignorance, something this site frowns on.
I bet I could go through and find 200 similar post made by you stating the exact contrail rabble.
I for one think you should be banned from posting your repetitive dribble which others unfortunately have to witness from time to time.

HA HA, just out of curiosity what part of my post would make you consider that the thread title hurt me? I am actually curious! It was a statement of how pathetic you and your attempts are.

Now because I gave you some information that contradicts your stand point you go straight for an attack. This does nothing but act as a diversion from the information at hand. Now can you have a civil and intellectual conversation about this or are we going to go to school ground tactics? If you want to play, I am the bad ass kid on the school field...

Also network dude, you are quite sad in trying to paint others in a dim light with a title like this. "They is Spraying Us!!!!!" Poor grammar and punctuation to try and demean the people who are probably more aware of this world than yourself. Shameful....

Do you still think people are so stupid as to not notice what's going on in our skies, around the world no less?
Is SAI the new buzz word for SRM/chemtrails, like Isis was the new buzz word for Al Qaeda?
Yes I heard about the new SAI term, explained by the jolly head of CIA, with reference to volcanic eruptions, as if that explains it all away as a 'natural phenomenon'. How goofy do you people think we are?
Try a new one on us. See if that deflects our attention from your goddamn $10 billion p/year project to kill populations.

Did you see my first post in this thread? The quoted material has not been addressed. So why don't you guys do the research and tell me why the information that I have provided is not creditable? If a transcontinental flight could switch to a cheaper fuel at altitude do you think they might? Aircraft have multiple fuel bladders in the wings.
