I have a scenario to share that I think could work to explain how a geo-engineering scheme could have been in place for several years at least on an experimental level . . . with very few people involved . . .
1) It is based on an analysis of the sulfur content of jet fuel, the fuel's source, the research accomplished in the literature, etc.
2) I will start by saying that one can use the existing maximum allowable sulfur content of jet fuel as it exists and get a significant contribution to mitigating global warming . . .
3) It is estimated that the average sulfur content of jet fuel is between 500 and 1,000 ppm (Page 12 http://www.cgabusinessdesk.com/document/aviation_tech_review.pdf )
4) Simply by raising the sulfur content of jet fuel to the maximum allowable (3,000 ppm) or even a little higher (3,500 ppm plus) to jet fuel used in the worlds aircraft . . . for the sake of argument let's assume 3,000 ppm can be added on top of the expected minimum average of 500 ppm . . . we have a real solid start on cooling the earth . . .
5) This would be 0.3 percent of all jet by volume in the world ( Total: 217,835,274ton as of 2006 . . .

I will finish this tomorrow . . . good night . . .
