Re: climate change

Widely reported, therefore, for those who missed it:


Today's radical left program included the interview of a climatologist (David
Travis).  He discussed (among others) the effect of contrails as determined
by their absence immediately (for three days) after "9/11". [Reported in the
current "Nature".]

Among many:

and:

                           Travis' results are difficult to argue with, says
Patrick Minnis of NASA's Langley Research
                           Center in Hampton, Va. He and his colleagues will
report their analyses of satellite images of
                           contrails at the same conference. In a series of
photos taken Sept. 12, individual cloud trails of
                           high-flying military aircraft stand out clearly in
a nearly cloud-free region west of Washington,
                           D.C. In just a few hours, six contrails—each of
which started out a few meters wide—spread to
                           cover more than 20,000 square kilometers. The
observations of these single contrails along
                           aerial highways normally crowded with dozens of
aircraft may help scientists develop better
                           models of how contrails spread and affect climate,
says Minnis.
