I wanted to clarify that Dane, my brother who I see commented that my Mom and I have disowned him, misrepresents things on a very regular basis. Actually, my Mom just had a visit with Dane and his two children in Redding last week. My Mom still tries to maintain contact with Dane so she can have at least some contact with her grandchildren. I had a long life of interaction with my brother, and when he initially moved away from here where I live over 20 years ago,
A lot of what Dane touts originated with Russ Tanner, including, as Dane says, that "short bright trails" are also "chemtrails". Tanner has been talking about non persistent trails being "chemtrails" for quite a while now. See here:

And here: http://globalskywatch.com/stories/m...tion/the-great-contrail-con.html#.VjHcqdKrQ1IExternal Quote:Interestingly, on a single day, all of the jet trails reverted to short trails that left no persisting plumes in the sky. Unfortunately, there was little change in the intensity of the symptoms or the tastes and odors in the air. The plumes had become short and non-persistent, but the frequency of these unmarked silver jets seemed to increase.
External Quote:Those spreading disinformation about chemtrails would like nothing more than for you to believe that short, non-persistent plumes coming out of jets are harmless contrails.External Quote:They will tell you anything necessary to make you believe short trails are harmless.
External Quote:Beware of those who claim that short plumes emitted by aircraft are "contrails".
External Quote:Let me be clear: The trails had changed from persistent (long and lingering) to non-persistent (short and quickly dissipating).
External Quote:Amazingly, in April of 2009, in a single day, all of the trails changed from long, persistent trails to short, non-persistent trails.
External Quote:Just like Jamestown, the tastes and odors that occurred in the air during spraying after the change to short trails were identical to those before the length of the trails changed.
External Quote:Short, non-persistent chemtrails are everywhere.
External Quote:Second, they upgraded their equipment so spraying produced less-noticeableshort, non-persistent plumes.
And here: http://globalskywatch.com/stories/m...l-information/plumes-change.html#.VjHhN9KrQ1JExternal Quote:If you see a trail come out of a jet, long or short, persistent or non-persistent, you can be sure that it's a chemtrail.
External Quote:In April 2010, chemtrails suddenly changed from large persistent plumes to very short, non-persistent plumes; the kind of plumes that some people believe are "contrails".
Dane moved to Redding in 2000, from Kingman AZ where he lived for about 5 years. I had told Dane for many years about the Redding area and that I liked it from back in the 80's when I worked near there. In Kingman Dane was noticing pinions on his land dying because of the dry conditions. Dane moved to Redding because of this concern of his about having access to water, and wishing to live in a wetter area. Back then chemtrails/geoengineering was not even on his radar. When he built his large off grid home in Redding, he noticed the decreased solar output of his system on cloudy days, and when he went on the internet to learn more about this, that is when he came across the info about chemtrails. There was no personal tragedy during that time, at least none that I know of, and I was in regular/close contact with him during that period. Dane throughout his life has been obsessive about certain things. His obsession with chemtrails is an example of this. As far as betrayal, Dane feels I know betrayed by various people in his life. He will see my comments here, and will of course feel in his misguided way of thinking, betrayed by this. Dane speaks as if " truth " is held in the highest regard by him. And yet, he does not wish certain truths being expressed as related to himself. For example, the truth about his past experience, like, he is not an alternative energy expert, as he is cited at times.Out of curiosity - and if this is too personal, please disregard - do you know if Dane experienced some sort of personal tragedy around the time he went about building his new house? The one where he noticed the solar panels producing less power than he expected, and seemed to kick off the whole 'chemtrail' activism on his part? I have this theory that many who fall over to the Conspiracy Theory side do so in times where they're particularly vulnerable because of something like a major loss or a betrayal of trust. In trying to make sense of the world that may have just changed, it seems many become more open to these 'alternative' explanations of what was once their reality. In one of his posts on the GeorngineeringWatch site, he alluded once to being betrayed, or something of the sort. I always assumed it was related to the new house, or to the time around it. Sorry if this is also a little off-topic.
Van, speaking just for myself, I'd like to say that I really appreciate you sharing.I wanted to clarify that Dane, my brother who I see commented that my Mom and I have disowned him, misrepresents things on a very regular basis. Actually, my Mom just had a visit with Dane and his two children in Redding last week...
i'm not sure "misguided" in this context is fair. You did just tell his Archenemy (s) he lied about his mom.He will see my comments here, and will of course feel in his misguided way of thinking, betrayed by this
I don't want to oversimplify here, but isn't the real source of the all these types of "chemtrails" actually Russ Tanner.
Dane would use this word " betrayal " to imply that someone has done a " wrong " thing to him in terms of bringing the light of truth to info he has cited that is false. I think that is misguided in that he is merely trying to do this to deflect peoples attention from the various issues of his erroneous information.i'm not sure "misguided" in this context is fair. You did just tell his Archenemy (s) he lied about his mom.I think that fairly qualifies as betrayal. (not that i blame you, dissing on mom is totally bad form!)
Jdubyah, When Dane saw the movie Avatar, at the time he expressed to me that it was the most moving and important film he had ever watched. He identified very much with the Jake character who through the course of the movie takes up the side of the native Navi against the human invaders plunder and destruction. Dane clearly I could tell in his expressions desired that type of real life role for himself. Now, Dane has created these various beliefs within his mind of a world being decimated in all sorts of ways by the evil repercussions of worldwide chemtrail operations. He considers it the most dire threat facing humanity above all others, and often says in his writings, if it cannot be stopped then nothing else matters. He is now Jake, fighting relentlessly the good fight to save humanity. Unfortunately all he is really doing is bringing fear into the lives of many people about things that don't exist. Its a sad thing that he is wasting his life and energy on this.Out of curiosity - and if this is too personal, please disregard - do you know if Dane experienced some sort of personal tragedy around the time he went about building his new house? The one where he noticed the solar panels producing less power than he expected, and seemed to kick off the whole 'chemtrail' activism on his part?

Chemtrailing is the "public's term for the classified [covert] and ongoing artificial modification of Earth's climate systems using reflective nano-materials (aerosols) to reflect sunlight. The aerosols are dispersed via jet aircraft trails that expand into reflective artificial clouds."
Critics might accuse popular proponents like Dane Wigington (Geoengineeringwatch.org) of being conspiratorial, but there's global scholarship to back many of his claims

External Quote:How natural do these "ice pancakes" look in the photo below?
External Quote:CNN news called these "ice pancakes" "mysterious". This phenomenon has also been observed on various lakes and rivers in recent years. Chemical nucleation materials are the core causal factor that produce the recent rash of profound ice formations.
His whole "chemical ice nucleation" idea is nonsense. He suggests that hail is larger if ice nucleating materials are sprayed. In fact, the contrary is true; that's why cloud seeding is used for hail prevention: if there are more ice nuclei in the air, ice crystals will be more numerous and therefore grow smaller. He even cites freezing rain as evidence for the spraying of ice nucleating aerosols; in fact freezing rain rather proves the contrary: the reason why the rain didn't freeze in the air is that no ice nuclei were present. Also, he implies that snow or hail falling above 0 °C (32 F) should be evidence for ice nucleating materials, which is also nonsense, you cannot freeze water above 0 °C regardless of whatever ice nucleating material you add to it. The entire article is based on fundamental misunderstandings of ice nucleation processes.
This is a short summary of the basic concepts:Is there a source available that makes ice nucleation somewhat understandable for an amateur like me?
From here: https://www.imk-aaf.kit.edu/417.phpExternal Quote:Modes of Ice Nucleation
Ice is formed in clouds either by homogeneous freezing of water and solution droplets at temperatures below about -35°C or by heterogeneous ice nucleation processes induced by insoluble aerosol particles. (...)
Heterogeneous ice nucleation is induced by so-called ice nuclei (IN), a subset of (insoluble) aerosol particles which nucleate ice under certain conditions of supercooling between 0 and -35°C or ice supersaturation at temperatures below 0°C.
According to the definition by the Committee on Nucleation and Atmospheric Aerosols (Vali, 1985), one can distinguish different heterogeneous ice nucleation modes. The basic distinction is made whether water nucleates ice from the vapour or the (supercooled) liquid phase:
Further distinction is made between the following freezing nucleation modes:
- Deposition nucleation is the formation of ice in an ice supersaturated vapour environment
- Freezing nucleation is the formation of ice in a supercooled liquid environment.
- Immersion freezing is induced by a particle immersed in the body of supercooled water.
- Condensation freezing is similar to immersion freezing, but occures when a particle acts as cloud condensation nucleus (CCN) and immediately induces freezing of the water condensate.
- Contact freezing is induced by a particle upon contact with the supercooled liquid water phase.

Dane Wigington is trotting out a new video supposedly by Willem Felderhof, he says it is a "Time Lapse Video", but it is a Vimeo video of a bunch of still shots of contrails mostly. This can all be found here:
http://www.geoengineeringwatch.org/...rd-in-the-battle-to-stop-climate-engineering/
Here is the video:
After the video there are so far 71 responses from chemmies from all over the planet.
And there is a quote from Felderhof prior to the video, not sure if it is recent, or just pulled from Dane's archives:

Can anyone tell me what type of clouds these are? I am not an expert in this area by any stretch of the imagination.

Thank you for the references. I did forward that picture from Cloud Studies to my CT friend. It is turning out to be very useful, especially with respect to how it impacts the CT timeline.
Unless we start hearing about how the Wright Brothers were mixed up in geoengineering.

It was photographed in March 2013 in Lithia, Florida. The text states that these are cloud streets. Wikipedia calls them horizontal convective rolls. The cloud people call them cumulus radiatus.
I tend to agree, but how can you tell the altitude from the photo?Those are definitely not cloud streets - the Wikipedia correctly describes those; they form at the cumulus level.
Radiatus refers to parallel rows. The difference between radiatus and undulatus is the wind direction. In the case of radiatus, the rows are aligned with the wind direction. In undulatus, the rows are perpendicular to the wind direction.They are not any kind of radiatus - they do not appear to radiate form a point.
The usual explanation I have seen for altocumulus undulatus is that it's caused by wind shear.The undulating or wave motion is initiated usually by some orographic land form (a line of mountains/hills) somewhere upstream.
Yes, undulatus is also caused by wind shear. You are correct, and in that Florida case, that would be the most likely initiating mechanism.I tend to agree, but how can you tell the altitude from the photo?
Radiatus refers to parallel rows. The difference between radiatus and undulatus is the wind direction. In the case of radiatus, the rows are aligned with the wind direction. In undulatus, the rows are perpendicular to the wind direction.
