Aircraft Contrails
Transcript of keynote speech by Donald
Burfitt-Dons
I noticed crisscrossing the Atlantic when conditions
were right the entire Atlantic Ocean from Iceland to Bermuda would get
covered by cirrostratus as aircraft contrails spaced at the 60 n.m.
of the track system merged, creating the albedo effect, basically reflecting
some of the short wave radiation from the sun back into space, and,
at least partially reducing the amount of incoming radiation that contributes
to the greenhouse effect. Here is an image of contrails over Florida.
I concluded that the world’s weather was changing and possibly
mankind was at least partly the cause of it. Donald
