edit: "...infrastructure requirements, labor resourcing or supply chains..."
Sounds to me like code, for world-wide open borders. Am I close?
No, what you fail to understand at a fundamental level is that any 'geo-engineering' attempt to effect global climate in any significant way would require funding, infrastructure, labor resources and supply chains of incredible scope and scale - i.e. is never going to happen. Just altering all our existing infrastructures, supply chains and behaviors in any significant way is a massive undertaking let alone a dedicated geo-engineering effort aimed at climate change.
Sure we speculate about it, study the ideas, and run micro-climate attempts with our fingers crossed when we get desperate for rain, but that's where it stops. The only exception I know of is China's Three North Shelterbelt Project which has planted billions of trees since 1978 to try and hold back the Gobi Desert (with questionable success).

can someone explain why one plane emits steam from its engines while another plane flying even higher does not?
I saw this the other day and I hate to say it...but chem trails kind of sounds plausible. It would be pretty easy to blend whatever in the fuels meant for regional distribution...got me

the atmosphere is not consistent. Different moisture amounts plus different temps mean contrails will form at different altitudes.
or its martians..
I'm never quite clear on the difference.

Jeez folks around these parts are talking about El Nino like record setting rain is a given.
a jpl scientist says there is a ninety-five percent chance of El Niņo happening.
I will believe it when I see it.

El Nino. First the winds will blow the roves off our houses, then it will dump 5" in 20 minutes.
With all the forest fires, the raging rivers will be brown with precious top soil.
Yeah, these things are possible I suppose.
Right now, what we need is scattered showers, for a few weeks, so the little plants can take root and
hopefully keep some of the soil in place if it does dump.
Yosemite is getting thunder showers. So that's a good thing. Right now, though, lightening is a scary thing.
+1 on the Chem Trail switch! It looks pretty unused though.

You guys see how much of the Rice crop was lost in Cal. last year due to drought? I saw 25% on a .gov site. I'm not going to go fish out the link) Since it's a $5 billion crop, that represents $1.25 BBBBBillion BBBBucks.
Wow, I think more of those folks (predominatly north of Sacramento) are shifting into Olives as it's a tree more in tune with dry hot weather.

Some impressive waterfalls coming off Hammer Dome DMT. Maybe Salt Springs Reservoir gained several inches.

Boy, I'll say. Sounds way scarier than any bright flashes of electrostatic discharge...
