If you know what causes climate change
you could use that information to effect
climate change.
Aviation and the Global Atmosphere
A Special Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
Joyce E. Penner, David Lister, David J. Griggs, David J. Dokken, Mack McFarland
September 1999 Hardback (Paperback) 384 pages 150 line diagrams 10 half-tones 30 colour plates 25 tables ISBN: 0521663008
http://titles.cambridge.org/catalogue.asp?isbn=0521663008
This Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Special Report is the most comprehensive assessment available of the effects of aviation on the global atmosphere. The report considers all the gases and particles emitted by aircraft into the atmosphere and the role which they play in modifying the chemical properties of the atmosphere and initiating the formation of contrails. The report then considers how all this can modify the radiative properties of the atmosphere, leading to climate change, and can modify the ozone layer, leading to changes in ultraviolet radiation reaching the Earth. The report also considers how potential changes in aircraft technology, air transport operations, and the institutional, regulatory, and economic framework might affect emissions in the future. The volume provides accurate, unbiased, policy-relevant information to serve the aviation industry, policy-makers, environmental organisations, and researchers in global change, atmospheric chemistry, and economics.

This would be true if (A. You know ALL the factors that cause climate change and (B. You had the means to truly effect a climate change. However, neither is true.

I believe there is enough information to effect climate change and unlimited means to do so.

It's a facinating read, and provides an excellent scientific understanding.
Some of you may remember my frequent postings that 'contrails ARE chemtrails'. And to that effect, regardless of whether chemtrails are purposely deployed for a variety of covert ops, the known effects of aviation on the atmosphere are reason enough to have the issue thoroughly investigated.
I believe the full text of this can still be found at www.ipcc.ch
it might take a little digging, check for publications, and look for the picture with 3 planes leaving thick white trails behind them.
Thanks Molliani, for bringing this back to our attention. |
