Chemtrails: Friend or Foe?

I was inspired to do some research tonight on the Chemtrail phenomena after reading one of the Letters to the Editor in this week's Eugene Weekly. The writer states that chemtrails are in fact contrails and compared the trails to exhaling and seeing our breath on a cold day. She goes on to say that "A contrail can spread horizontally into a layer thin cirrus clouds." (sic)

Uh huh, I thought. Tell me another. I don't recall seeing the skies covered this way when I was growing up. However, she may be on to something when she writes the following: "It has been estimated that in heavy air-traffic corridors, cloud cover could increase as much as 20% with two opposing effects: solar energy reaching the earth is reduced, causing surface cooling; and reduction of heat loss from the planet resulting in warming." She then refers readers to a website, which oddly enough, I was told by MSIE could not be found.

Hmmm. I'm not a scientist in any way shape or form. However, having studied this whole chemtrail/contrail controversy for the past three years, I've come to the conclusion that something's up. All you have to do is look in the skies to notice. No brainer there. Just here in Corvallis tonight, around 8pm, I noticed a bunch of trails. Three of them came together, forming an "X" in two places. Again, don't recall seeing things like that 20 years ago. So while I disagree with this letter writer that chemtrails don't exist and are really harmless contrails, I do believe she is on to something when she says solar energy from the sun is reduced as a result of these trails. She may not realize she is, in her own way, supporting a pretty popular Chemtrail theory: these trails are being put down not to harm us nor to cull the population (although there are very likely health risks (gastrointestinal, respiratory and weakening of the immune system), which given some of the chemicals they've found but rather to save us. Save us by forming a barrier to reduce the increased heat coming from the Sun. There's strong evidence to suggest that Global Warming is being caused by the Sun. Scientists, including NASA, have said there continues to be an increase in solar activity from our glowing friend. Google this fmi.

I've come across an interesting article to support this theory, at least in part. Check it out. The author provides information which states the earth isn't the only planet in our solar system to be undergoing some pretty dramatic changes. Pluto and Mars, like Earth, have shown signs that they are heating up. Like Earth, the ice caps on Mars are melting. And check out this interesting little tidbit: Mercury has actually cooled and has formed an ice cap. The gas planets are said to be heating up, increasing the amount of radiation being emitted. Yikes!

Hmmm. I'll have to do more research to see if these bits of information are true.

I've always had a hard time accepting that this spraying was some massive attempt on a global scale to reduce the population. Afterall, we all breathe the same air. Somewhere in the back of my mind I've wondered if these trails were forming a barrier in some way, to stop the planet from "warming", or at least slow down the process. This isn't the first article I've come across to suggest this theory. My nagging question though is Why won't Uncle Sam come clean? If this really is about saving the people, why not tell us? Probably the usual fear that we the meager public won't be able to handle such information. That or we may revolt. Riot. Demand. Not what an elected official wants when seeking re-election. A complacent society is easier to control afterall.
