I was sent info on X of Government Funded spraying.
I don't know why they would do this. But....

It’s a study of the aviation industry in hopes of reducing their contrails - which have an effect on climate change. Not that there’s government spraying.

They are admitting to doing it. They've renamed clouds. I BELIVE what I see with my eyes.They are spraying us.

Who is “they”? Clearly NASA, NOAA, & the FAA understand the science behind contrails. As would you if you read the Ascent site you posted. It actually contains a link to the Contrails Research Roadmap report that most certainly doesn’t say what you’re suggesting.

Contrails contribute to global warming. The IPCC report notes that contrails are responsible for about 35% of aviation's global warming impact. So it’s certainly understandable that scientists and the aviation industry would study ways to reduce this impact and why they’re issuing the report.

Yes. They want more $ to study what they are in fact doing.

Contrails are indisputably clouds that form behind jet aircraft. To make a fantastical leap that NASA & NOAA are spraying chemicals for some nefarious secret large-scale atmospheric program is frankly, ridiculous.

Why not just search on “Chemtrails” and then read the first 10 links - all which debunk the notion? Isn’t it easier to read reputable information, instead of searching out conspiracy post on x?

I'm not basing my belief in just the info I found on X.
Debunked?
Nope.
We can agree to disagree brother.
To each his own.
I myself look up everyday and....

I’m going with mancorn on this one. X and YouTube videos are not science. Posted peer reviewed papers are. Opinions are not facts

Ai says plane fuel doesnt have aluminium but factories making acid rain can make the ph that will desolve aluminium thats allready in the dirt naturally or from sintetic feralisers.
Your bio char and lime could and should help you

I don't think its intelligent to believe peer reviewed articles either. If you are not doing the tests yourself, then all you have is belief. Beliefs are not truth.

I’m not a scientist nor do I play one on tv.doing tests yourself on something you know nothing about only leads to garbled conclusions. Again, YouTube videos and X posts aren’t the answer.

I agree. If you arent doing any scientific tests, all your conclusions which are beliefs, are garbled. That's just the age we live in. A fact is that there is plenty of peer reviewed science that is complete garbage. We simply dont know, any of us. To argue one I dont know against another I dont know is just an ego trying to feel superior.

I made 500# or so of biochar yesterday. I had 3 pits running. It was smoky but it was kinda fun.
My animals all stood and watched me. It took several hours and it was worth it.
I charged the goods with super nasty fermented chicken goat cow donkey poo and tons of grass leaves etc. The mix has been fermenting since Sept.
I added 5 gallons to 500# of charcoal and pond water to slop it up. I'm going to pulverize the coal today and Chuck it in the garden.
The info I watched said this will really help with microbial growth. I'm hoping it helps.
If the Indians used this method I think this will work. Meaning I will bring in beneficial microbes etc.View attachment 2393842View attachment 2393842View attachment 2393833View attachment 2393834View attachment 2393835View attachment 2393836View attachment 2393837View attachment 2393838View attachment 2393839View attachment 2393840View attachment 2393841View attachment 2393834View attachment 2393833View attachment 2393834View attachment 2393835View attachment 2393836View attachment 2393837View attachment 2393838View attachment 2393840View attachment 2393840View attachment 2393841View attachment 2393835

Make sure you pre charge it so to speak or it will pull nutes out of the soil. It's basically a microbe hotel ✌️

Yes!
I had started mix of leaves grass green stuff and cow donkey chicken goose poo in a drum.
Nasty smelling but it will charge it really well.
I've got it drying so I can crush it.
It was 47 F here this morning.
Brr....
I have no viking left in me....

I’m going to make some also. I guy I know is into biodynamic farming. He told me to charge it with my kelp that I make. Instead of fresh water he said use ocean water, seems sketchy with the salt.

Fun fact: the book l mentioned in my earlier post claims that because of the lattice like structure a piece of biochar the size of a grain of rice has the surface area of a football field. Hard to imagine that's even possible but that's what they say.

The purpose of peer review is to report results and allow other researchers to attempt to replicate findings. Replication of results is important. A research study could be "complete garbage" but why would any researcher want to embarrass their self in front of their peers by presenting garbage? Doing so could end their career. Results of a study can be incorrect or misleading, but verification is the reason for peer review. Peers are people who study the same subject and thus understand what they're seeing when they look at the research and the findings.

We can if we know how to think and reason critically.
