Around June of 2000, shortly after being contacted by A.C. Griffith, who began the idea that barium was in chemtrails, Clifford Carnicom posted the following at his website:
At the link, Carnicom gives more details and outlines his reasoning, but the inception of the idea was through A.C. Griffith and a sample of stuff scraped off a car windshield. Despite the impression Carnicom gives, he has never shown any actual lab or chemical analysis of this material, though his claims about it have continued for over a decade. The Carnicom web page concludes this way:
September 7, 2000:
Later in September, Carnicom and others purportedly had made 87 tests total, in which he claimed the pH generally ranged from 4 to 7:
By September 21, 2000, Carnicom was claiming that pH had risen by a factor of 20:
Three days later, Carnicom called for more help:
Clifford Carnicom said:A case for the environmental testing of barium and barium
compounds now exists. This case is developed from the following
sequences of events and reasoning:
1. Meteorological study.
2. An anonymous source of information stated to be reliable.
3. Chemistry analysis.
4. pH testing of rainwaters.
5. Physical sample collected in association with aircraft
activity.
6. Testing of chemical hypothesis.
7. Solubility and equilibrium considerations.
8. Environmental testing : water, air, soil.

At the link, Carnicom gives more details and outlines his reasoning, but the inception of the idea was through A.C. Griffith and a sample of stuff scraped off a car windshield. Despite the impression Carnicom gives, he has never shown any actual lab or chemical analysis of this material, though his claims about it have continued for over a decade. The Carnicom web page concludes this way:
Clifford Carnicom said:Rainwater samples have been collected on 5 different occasions in the southern Santa Fe, NM area, and they have been tested for
pH. It should be mentioned that collectable rainwater in the location mentioned has been an extremely rare event since before October of 1999 to the present day. Extreme drought is now characteristic of this location, and the city of Santa Fe itself
is under the next to highest level of water restrictions that can be imposed under law. As such, collection and ph testing of rainwater by interested readers is both welcomed and encouraged. This can be accomplished relatively easily and inexpensively
with pH test kits available at aquarium or pet stores.
The results of this testing are as follows:
June 26 : 6.6
June 27 : 6.6
Aug 17 : 6.2
Aug 18 : 6.3
Aug 19 : 6.6
September 7, 2000:
Clifford Carnicom said:Measured values in the Santa Fe area of several samples average at 6.5. The difference of these samples from the expected norm is statistically significant at the 99.9% level. It is important for other parties to verify or refute these observations that have been made. pH testing of rainwater has now become an important tool in identifying important changes that have recently occurred within the chemistry of our atmosphere, and tests from other locations are needed.
In addition to the two sources identified within a previous article that have established a baseline value for rainwater pH, the following source has now confirmed the stated value of approximately 5.6.
pH test kits can be purchased inexpensively at most aquarium, pet or department stores. A specific product that has been used is manufactured by Aquarium Pharmaceuticals called "Deluxe pH Test Kit". This test kit will measure pH values from 6.0 to 7.6 incrementally. Values equal to, greater than or less than the extremes can be inferred if the end of the scale is reached.

Later in September, Carnicom and others purportedly had made 87 tests total, in which he claimed the pH generally ranged from 4 to 7:
Clifford Carnicom said:Significant differences from the baseline indicate significant changes in atmospheric chemistry that have occurred since the baseline values were recorded. Significant positive differences indicate a much higher presence of hydroxide ions (OH-) than is expected. Significant differences, as found, warrant a formal investigation into the magnitude and origin of recent changes in atmospheric chemistry.

By September 21, 2000, Carnicom was claiming that pH had risen by a factor of 20:
Clifford Carnicom said:Recent and preliminary pH test data from across the nation indicates that the atmospheric chemistry has been altered by a factor of 20 with respect to hydroxide ion concentration, relative to baseline values established from the years of 1990 -1999, as well as individually with respect to 1999 data. This is a remarkable change in a relatively short period of time, and has major implications for both the chemistry and biology of the nation and the globe.

Three days later, Carnicom called for more help:
Clifford Carnicom said:These drastic changes and the results of these studies
demonstrate the urgent need for a formal investigation into recent
and radical changes in the atmospheric chemistry of the nation and
globe. Citizens across the country are urged to organize and to
demand this investigation without delay.
