    Aluminium nano-particles stunt plant growth - paper

    The paper also makes no link with any kind of atmospheric spraying of such nanoparticles: Nanoparticles are heavily used in an industrial setting because they can be used to manufacture lightweight, strong materials as well as acting as pigments in products such as paints, sunscreens, and...

    Photos of Clouds and Skies (That you took yourself)

    Quite the contrail-enhanced sunset on the train home from London this evening. The prominent trail heading off to the top left is Ryanair FR9073 from Manchester to Alicante. Photo taken near Brookwood in Surrey.

    Debunked: Article: "Court Takes Child From Mother After She Mentions Chemtrails At School"

    Again, with more knowledge of the case this makes more sense. This was posted by the father in October 2013 and it's clear that the mother's home life was anything but stable, albeit partly due to outside influences. (I've blurred out some irrelevant personal stuff about school) From the...

    Photos of Planes and Contrails (That you took yourself)

    Same plane, same flight, snapped from my office window as it came in to land in London. (I was keeping tabs on the flight because I know the person who was flying it :) ). If I had known it would be coming by I would have brought a proper camera to work!

    Debunked: Article: "Court Takes Child From Mother After She Mentions Chemtrails At School"

    This is the key point. The article tries to frame it as some kind of social-services intervention with the suggestion (albeit not written in as many words) of a child being taken into care. In fact it is nothing of the sort, just a custody battle between parents. I would also dispute this part...

    New Zealand CAA puts up "Aircraft Trails" page

    I'm pretty sure NZ isn't short of rain, as a rule (although apparently there are drought conditions in places at the moment?) Good point on aerodynamic contrails. There's a video of trails from a prop (turboprop?) plane shared on NZ chemtrails pages:

    Debunked: Article: "Court Takes Child From Mother After She Mentions Chemtrails At School"

    And given the other evidence that a bit of digging uncovers: Mother has been in trouble with the law Mother has many other fringe/paranoid beliefs Mother has a home that burned down without adequate insurance and was in danger of foreclosure Mother is out of work and on low income Father...

    Debunked: Article: "Court Takes Child From Mother After She Mentions Chemtrails At School"

    I would have to agree that "Debunked" is a bit of a strong tag although I can see where Mick is coming from. What IS debunked in the article is this claim: "Court documents reveal". No court documents have been made public, so how can they reveal anything? What has not been debunked is that...

    Debunked: Article: "Court Takes Child From Mother After She Mentions Chemtrails At School"

    I have worked out who "Becca Vandb" and the father are. I won't identify them here but I will point out that Becca has been in trouble with the law on more than one occasion, most recently just a couple of months ago. (Obviously this particular arrest won't have been able to influence the...

    The Gofundme was created on June 9 2015. I think the fire was on May 29: http://www.dailycamera.com/boulder-county-news/ci_28215658/coal-creek-canyon-partially-closed-after-garage-fire

    Debunked: Article: "Court Takes Child From Mother After She Mentions Chemtrails At School"

    No, if you read what Becca posted, it isn't at all. She lost custody of her child, for reasons which we don't know other than on her say so. She claims that taking about chemtrails led to her being "banned from the school premises", which may be true, but she then makes the leap from that to...

    Possibly not relevant to the story, but the author's photo on the news item seems to have been taken from this person's Google or GitHub profiles: https://plus.google.com/+DimitrySolovyov/about https://github.com/disolovyov

    Debunked: Article: "Court Takes Child From Mother After She Mentions Chemtrails At School"

    Yes, this is the point. The claim being debunked is that she had her child taken off her because she mentioned chemtrails. Clearly that is not the case. Plenty of people talk about chemtrails publicly and don't have their children taken off them. What appears to have happened here is that the...

    Pre 1995 Persistent Contrail Archive

    Düsseldorf, Germany. Date unknown but between 1979 and 1989 as those are the dates that this plane was painted in Hapag-Loyd livery. https://flic.kr/p/qhjSwZ

    Lots of cirrus uncinus in the Surrey Hills this morning too. Heralding a change to rainy weather for the bank holiday tomorrow :rolleyes: And a bit of halo poking out from behind the tower: Trivia: this tower was built on top of Leith Hill in the 1760s by a wealthy local to make it over...

    Persistent contrails at 26,000ft

    The more I watch contrails the more I'm having to reassess my thoughts on how low they form. I just watched this easyJet plane leaving a persistent contrail (bad photo as taken from a moving train) By the time I opened FR24 it was just climbing through 25,000ft. Based on the length of the...

    Calculator for RHi and Contrail Persistence Criteria

    Yes. The maps that I posted there are from publically available GFS data (the weather model run by NOAA). These ones give relative humidity at the 300 millibar pressure level, which equates to about 30,000 feet. Temperature is also available. See instantweathermaps.com for charts. Obviously...
