The extent of airline traffic is generally underappreciated by the common person. It is always there. When you have humid weather, the contrails persist. If the weather is arid, they go away. I've been to Phoenix in late summer. Incredibly torrid in the afternoon, with no cloud in the sky. Like a dry sauna. If you want raw sunlight, more power to you.
We're not talking about contrails. This is geoengineerg. I've lived here for 32 years and yes it's hot but it's the freaking desert. I do not choose chemicals being sprayed to block out sunlight. I know what a contrail looks like, that is not what is happening, wake up!
If it is geoengineering, you shouldn't be referring to contrails in your complaints. I've been observing persistent and non-persistent contrails for the past 70 years and that is all we have. (Plus, I am an aeronautical engineer and it is my business to know about them.)
I will make you a prediction: for any state that outlaws "geoengineering," there will be no cessation of contrails, and no indictments for geoengineering. But I will drop the argument. Do not be too surprised if the subject fails to gain ground.
I am not in favor of geoengineering, by the way. It is ill-advised and futile. For any such enterprise to have a significant effect, it would need a massive program. Nature is big. Human impact is small. I hope we can agree that cloud-seeding for rain stimulation is benign (it leaves no trails and sometimes we need the rain).
Just as a friendly aside, have you had an opportunity to view the meteor crater near Barringer? It is truly a spectacle. One feels like an ant on the rim of a teacup.
