Could be anything from pollution carried by winds, African dust
(including bacteria, etc.) carried to the Amazon, contrails in the sky,
tropospheric pollution carried to the stratosphere, i.e. the
possibilities are many.

You mean the wack-job/Art Bell topic right?

Google "chemtrails" or "chemitrails." Be sure to be wearing your AFDB.

If you have been reading old postings to this group then the answer is
almost certainly aircraft-engine condensation trails. There was someone who
had "proof" that those white vapour trails were in fact sprays of poison
being spread by the CIA to doing something rather vague to some ill defined
population for an unspecified reason. Nuff said?

There must be, somewhere, at lease ONE lone Meteorologist who, upon
gazing up at the skies, says, "Hmmmm...those "Mare's tails" are NOT
ice crystals at 40,000 feet !"
"Those clearly are the residuals of airplanes at approximately that
altitude, I saw them go by, but they don't soon go away, as Contrails
usually do. In FACT, they not only do not go away, they dissapate,
slowly, through a period of HOURS"
"Hmmmmm....curious indeed. I wonder exactly WHAT they are? They spread
out farther and farther and farther and stay for hours and hours and
hours. They LOOK like some very thin film of some chemical or other!
Other planes' contrails DO dissapate, in a few seconds, but
these....THEY DON'T!"
Now, I wonder just WHAT the heck are they"?
And that's why I subscribed to and d'loaded all these 20,000 messages
from this newsgroup: to get an answer to this contrail vs. Chemtrail
question. And here it is the: same old bickering: Republican vs.
Democrat, Con versus Lib - ad infinitum, ad nauseum. Surely, I
thought, something as scientific as Meteorology ( graphs, data,
charts)...a HISTORY of facts, in fact , will be free of politics and
partisanship and someone will have the brains to say, "well, let's
STUDY this phenomenon".
I know, since I was born, 70 years ago, I have NEVER, till very recent
times, seen ANYthing like these "clouds".
Even if you don't subscribe to the conspiracy theories about this-
HOW ABOUT A RATIONAL EXPLANATION?
Contrails? Puleeze. Even I can see the difference, and I ain't no
Meteorologist.
I guess the fact is, you guys don't know either.

Yeah, they're contrails. Deal with it, little conspiracy theorist.

Of sinister origin or not, they do affect the weather.

Yes. Now calculate how much of an affect they contribute.

RELEASE : 04-140


Clouds Caused By Aircraft Exhaust May Warm The U.S. Climate


NASA scientists have found that cirrus clouds, formed by contrails from
aircraft engine exhaust, are capable of increasing average surface
temperatures enough to account for a warming trend in the United States
that occurred between 1975 and 1994.

"This result shows the increased cirrus coverage, attributable to air
traffic, could account for nearly all of the warming observed over the
United States for nearly 20 years starting in 1975, but it is important
to acknowledge contrails would add to and not replace any greenhouse gas
effect," said Patrick Minnis, senior research scientist at NASA's
Langley Research Center in Hampton, Va. The study was published April 15
in the Journal of Climate. "During the same period, warming occurred in
many other areas where cirrus coverage decreased or remained steady," he
added.

"This study demonstrates that human activity has a visible and
significant impact on cloud cover and, therefore, on climate. It
indicates that contrails should be included in climate change
scenarios," Minnis said."

Interesting.

I wonder, tho, how much increased albedo these clouds cause, and if
that's been measured?
