i'm kinda ashamed to say I really bought into all the conspiracy theory stuff for a long time, chemtrails included. my mind cracked open to the other sides of the debate a few months ago, and I'm happier to have gotten out of the low-theta paranoia...
this site really helped shift my understanding of the chemtrail issue: http://contrailscience.com
I spent a few hours reading through the comment threads - THAT's where the gold is at. after a while, a consistent pattern becomes very clear: a very rational, mature, respectful stance with scientific facts referenced from credible sources - versus angry, paranoid nutbags who fail to provide credible evidence and resort to name-calling, who fail to have any apparent understanding of how to use proper grammar or form coherent sentences without uncontrollable releases of hostility in them.
the pattern speaks pretty clearly for itself.
not to say there aren't facts in the chemtrail perspective that aren't questionable - though it may not be what it's made out to be by the tinfoil hat crew...
I'll let the guys at the Texas Weather Modification Association know about that site you linked to so they can finally realize they're just spraying contrails into the air when they're controlling the weather. The U.S. Government is going to be really pissed to find out that's all they've been doing after being given a portion of our stolen tax dollars to modify the weather, assuming that is the only purpose. ;)

Perhaps you read the word "chemtrails" and jumped to several false conclusions and thereby created a strawman you can attack, because attacking reality is harder to accomplish. One false conclusion being that "chemtrails" aren't real. Government agencies exist (see a few in my area listed above) that use this practice routinely, and the other being that the word "chemtrails" has some other meaning outside of "chemicals" that leave "trails".
The issue most people seem to want to ignore regarding weather modification / geoengineering / chemtrails is the chemicals used in this practice and what happens when these chemicals fall to the ground later in the day. What are the effects on humans, animals and plant life? Where are the government studies showing that this practice is safe? Why weren't those studies done prior to unleashing these chemicals into the air to fall down to Earth later in the day?
I'll likely make another post at a later time discussing those very topics. Several people in this thread are willing to accept "cloud seeding" as reality (good for you!), but have failed to make the connection to the chemicals (aka chemtrails) used having any adverse effects on everything below.
Silver iodide is simply the primary component in one of the concoctions used to accomplish weather modification. There are many other chemicals used and various different combinations. Aluminum, barium and strontium are a few others that have been found to be used recently and a little research into how they can affect humans, animals and plants will go a long way into understanding why this practice needs to be halted.
If someone were to walk up and spray a concoction of chemicals into our faces, we'd be pretty upset, likely have an adverse reaction and then seek some form of legal action against the perpetrator. However, when governments do the same thing to us from the sky, it's apparently a "conspiracy theory" or accepted as completely normal. This Stockholm syndrome mentality needs to change.
apparently there's a lawsuit going down in Canada regarding this. not sure if it's legit, though would be interesting to see how it flies if so...
