Dear Simon,
As someone who works on climate geoengineering issues, this issue is raised in virtually every public forum in which I present. I don't actually know of a really good scholarly treatment of this issue (Jim Fleming's book Fixing the Sky, the Checkered History of Weather and Climate Control has some discussion), but one of the best treatments of the claims, and why they are daft, can be found Skeptic Project site: <http://conspiracies.skepticproject.com/articles/chemtrails/> http://conspiracies.skepticproject.com/articles/chemtrails/ wil Dr. Wil Burns, Associate Director Master of Science, Energy Policy & Climate Program Johns Hopkins University 1717 Massachusetts Ave., NW Washington, DC 20036 650.281.9126 (Mobile) 202.452.8713 (Fax) http://energy.jhu.edu Skype ID: Wil.Burns Blog: Teaching Climate/Energy Law & Policy, <http://www.teachingclimatelaw.org/> http://www.teachingclimatelaw.org From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Simon Dalby Sent: Monday, December 16, 2013 12:32 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [gep-ed] Desperately seeking a good authoritative analysis of the "chemtrails" issue Folks: Once again a request for information on the whole "chemtrails" issue has landed in my inbox. While some of the stuff I have looked at is plain silly, has anyone done a serious scholarly evaluation of the claims, counterclaims, and science that relates to jet trails, atmospheric cooling and the supposed US Airforce program on climate modification? A serious sociological analysis of the whole thing would be especially welcome!
