We must understand the terminology of the subject. Without knowing what the words mean, we say things that we do not mean to say.
These mistakes lead to misdirection, confusion, and failure. The importance of getting the language right cannot be overstated.
The term “geoengineering” refers to deliberately engineering the Earth’s climate system on a large scale. Modern definitions, and even legal language, emphasise actions taken for the “express purpose” of changing the climate.
Chemtrails don’t fit this definition. They are not deemed intentional climate interventions. They are not designed to alter temperature or weather.
Geoengineering is commonly divided into 2 categories:
- Solar Radiation Management (SRM) (e.g., stratospheric aerosol injection)
- Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) (often what is called carbon capture)
Trails do not come under the geoengineering banner, and cannot be claimed to be part of any coordinated effort to engineer the climate system.
They form as a by-product of ordinary aircraft operations, whose purpose is simply to transport people and cargo from one place to another, from A to B.
The exhaust trail is a by-product of the transport system, not for the express purpose of changing the climate.
The defining feature of geoengineering is intent. It involves deliberately altering the climate system to achieve a specific outcome, such as cooling the planet.
Trails, by contrast, are deemed to be an unintended by-product of jet engines. They are not created with the purpose of modifying the weather or climate.
Trails can indeed affect the weather. Previously, we have shown that aeroplane trails create weather pattern changes and change the amount of sunlight reaching the ground. Some scientists have called this “accidental geoengineering.”
However, the key point is that this effect is deemed to be unintentional. Geoengineering requires deliberate action for the express purpose of altering the climate.
Even though hygroscopic particulates in the fuel enhance the trails, they are still only a by-product of regular aviation; they occur because planes are flying from one place to another, carrying passengers and freight from A to B.
If you truly want to stop chemtrails, stop calling them geoengineering and cloud seeding; they are neither.
They grow in clear blue skies because they are enhanced by the hygroscopic metallic/silicon sulfur-coated particles in the exhaust that encourage logarithmic growth in subsaturated air.
When you ask AI why trails are not geoengineering, it explains that the defining element for geoengineering is the “intent” to modify the climate in some way on a global scale.
It explains that geoengineering requires intentional design and control, and that the effects need to be global.
In “geoengineering,” the prefix “geo-” comes from the Greek word for Earth, so it refers to large-scale or global interventions in the Earth’s system.
