I don't have time to watch videos (& rarely watch TV).

To what currently active climate &/or geo engineering projects does this refer?

The idea that there are government spraying programs to increase global dimming. Probably as an attempt to slow global warming or reduce CO2 levels.

I think there may be good scientific evidence for increased global dimming, and increased levels of aluminum and barium in water and snow fall. Whether this is due to an intentional secret government jet spraying program is a lot less certain.

If global warming and CO2 levels are the looming problem they appear to be, it would not surprise me if factions in the government decided this was the best we could do to combat it, and that they would do it in secret.

I can not tell if this has merit, or is total bunk. A bit too conspiracy theory, but then a lot of the population still thinks Global warming is a conspiracy theory.

edit to add link to group the videos are from: [link:http://www.geoengineeringwatch.org/|

A conspiracy-nut friend accepts such uncritically. I occasionally look into it and find mostly dishonesty and/or lunacy, but research needs to be done...

Academic, officially-sponsored or otherwise thought-experiments have certainly been run in this area, but I see no evidence, beyond the well-known localised cloud-seeding techniques (and military chaff, and rocket engine emissions), being employed anywhere, and certainly not using civilian air traffic.

Increased atmospheric dimming, if occuring, could have a variety of sources, especially, I conjecture, increased evapotranspiration (due to the warming)... and there would seem to have been increased volcanic activity recently...

Increased levels of aluminum and barium in water and snow fall, if observable, would certainly be worth looking at in the context of the high levels of all or most types of pollution our industrialised lightly-regulated capitalist and other societies continue to blithely emit.

Thanks again, mackdaddy, and I would recommend to Lodestar to drill further down in the process of doing his or her own research.
