Cloud seeding to promote rainfall is entirely different than geoengineer. The cloud seeding that Rainmakers use is based on good scientific experiments and its effects, if any, are limited in time and location.
However, no one should be allowed to put stuff into Earth orbit to reflect the sunlight. Such attempts could decrease our food supply, affect plant and animal life, have very costly consequences that could be irreversible.
So, please do not put cloud seeding in the same legal and political category as geoengineering.
I am a former National Science Foundation Program Manager for Weather Modification. I have extensive experience in cloud seeding operations worldwide. My PhD thesis in theoretical physics was a breakthrough in the physics of rain formation.
I can assure you that Rainmaker's cloud seeding operations on July 2 had absolutely NO effect on the storm of July 3 and 4 that occurred some 150 miles to the northwest.
I'm all for banning climate geoengineering. But don't confuse "chemtrails" with geoengineering.
There are methods of geoengineering that will change the climate, and for the worse, but that is another subject.
Chemtrails are more climate fiction.
My goal in this article is to save JFK, Jr., and other good people from getting entangled in the false science of imaginary “chemtrails.”
The people who promote “chemtrails” do not know about the physics of the atmosphere, the formation of clouds, and the science of contrails. No one wins when lawmakers make laws about something they do not understand.
Jet aircraft add water vapor to the air because water vapor is a product of combustion of carbon fuels.
At high altitudes, this added water vapor will become small water droplets when the added water vapor increases the humidity to 100 percent. If the air is cooler than -26C, these water droplets freeze into ice crystals.
It is easy to see the difference between a cloud with water droplets versus ice crystals. Water droplets cause a cloud to look clean and sharp. Ice crystals cause a cloud to look fuzzy. Water droplets evaporate quickly but ice crystals last much longer.
Other than the addition of water vapor by the jet aircraft, everything else in this picture is natural. Contrails modify the appearance of the sky and scatter the sunlight. They slightly cool the Earth in the day and heat the earth at night.
Beyond these small heating, cooling, and visual effects, contrails do not damage people or the environment.
There are people who claim the contrails we see are “chemtrails” caused by poisons the government uses to damage people and plants below the contrails.
First, you can’t damage people and plants with small particles from 30,000 feet. You can do it with a bomb but the particles in contrails fall as fast as cigarette smoke. Before these small particles could get to the ground, they would be thousands of miles downwind and maybe in the Atlantic Ocean.
Second, if the government wants to poison us, they can do it from 800 feet, cheaper and more precisely.
They say the government is putting poisons in jet fuel.
First, no government is going to add anything to jet fuel that may harm the engines. But let’s suppose the additions pass the safety test.
Second, poisons in jet fuel have nothing to do with “chemtrails” because a jet would distribute the poisons from takeoff to landing, especially on takeoff.
The land most affected would be the area around major airports.
Does anyone have data that shows chemicals from departing aircraft has harmed the people, plants, and dogs in these areas?

Yes! WEF has and still is pushing the climate fraud and the COVID fraud. Both frauds have and still are damaging free people, especially children, with the goal of turning us into slaves. Professionally, I am fighting the climate fraud. I can help you understand the climate fraud and how to stop it.
@MrsMAGA2024 No way. Gates did not support Trump. Gates is envious of Elon. Gates supports the climate insanity to the extent that he wants to eliminate 80% of the world's population but he will not volunteer to be among the first to go.
I may be the only professional climate physicist to reply. The whole climate hoax is based on three assumptions. My published papers and papers by a handful of other true scientists, prove these assumptions are false. This proof overturns all arguments and "scientific consensus" that claim the assumptions are true.
@SheehyforMT Sheehy won't "right the ship." He will sink the ship. He is a puppet of the party boss who forced Knudsen to lose Held v Montana, damaging Republicans much more than any Democrat has ever done.
@GideonChur49068 @SheehyforMT It's about what Sheehy will vote for if we elect him. Sheehy censored me and won't talk to me because I teach climate truth, and he supports the disastrous, deliberate loss of Held v Montana that we could have easily defeated. Sheehy is a puppet of the party boss who serves WEF.
