Wigington/West Geoengineering Debate

[Trailblazer]

Care to eyeball how much jet fuel that would burn, and thus the heating that it would produce? I wouldn't be surprised if that completely nullified the cooling.

Hmm, hadn't thought of that.
Even the takeoff phase of a 747 flight uses about 5,000 gallons of fuel. One gallon weighs about 3kg, so that's 15,000kg.

The specific energy of jet fuel is about 43,000 kilojoules per kilogram.

So just the heat produced from the fuel required for 200,000 747s to take off would be 200,000 x 15,000 x 43,000 = 1.29 x 10^14 kilojoules.

We had 7 trillion tons of air, which is 7 x 10^15kg. So in fact the energy from the fuel would only be enough to raise the temperature of the air by 0.018ºC, or about 54 times less than the cooling from the urea.

Hey, maybe it is a plausible technique after all

There's also a transcript of the interview here

Well, that transcript was an exhausting reading. A fine Gish-gallop of conspiracy theories, covering an exceptional number of topics.
As usual, such a vast number of simultaneous interlocking conspiracies would require millions and millions of active participants, and industrial facilities and transportation facilities everywhere.
Wigington also claims to have records of all sort of convincing evidence to prove what he says. I wonder how many people have looked at this evidence and evaluated it? Any peer reviewed studies?

Neither Carlson or Wigington are credible in my view.
