efficient engines, costs which will be passed along to consumers. Fuel and personnel are the two
largest operating expenditures of commercial airlines, so the new fuel efficiency standards are
forcing domestic airlines to scramble for alternatives. Pratt & Whitney have developed the high-
bypass PurePower Geared Turbofan (GTF) engine, which lowers CO releases “comparable to
2
the amount of CO displaced by 900,000 trees in the same amount of time” and nitrogen oxide
2
by “50 percent below the most rigorous standard set by the United Nations’ International Civil
41
Aviation Organization.” Ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel is under development, as is biofuel—
municipal solid waste converted into jet fuel, diesel, and ethanol, “half a billion gallons of fuel in
markets across North America at lower costs compared to conventional petroleum fuel, while
reducing carbon emissions by more than 80%,” according to Fulcrum BioEnergy Inc. president
E. James Macias. 42
Researcher Jim Lee (climateviewer.com) believes the secret to the chemtrail mystery is in the
gas tank. Lee has found documents proving that barium fuel additives and aluminum are in jet
fuel, and believes that the ICAO, United Nations, U.S. State Department, DOT, EPA, FAA, and
NASA seek to chemically alter contrail cirrus to cool the planet. By manipulating soot and
sulfuric acid, heat-trapping pollution can be turned into planet-cooling carbon credit cash. Soot
—carbon black dust (CBD) and carbon black aerosol (CBA)—has been recognized for its
weather-altering abilities since the 1970s and is the primary ingredient of artificial cloud
43
production. Both carbon black and soot are fossil fuel waste products, but carbon black is in
diesel (diesel oxidation), whereas soot arises only during pyrolysis (jet fuel combustion).

Soot particles are composed of individual, nearly spherical particles (spherules), which have a number mean radius
44
between 10 and 30 nm.

As Lee puts it, the more soot nanoparticles generated by jet exhaust, the more cloud
condensation nuclei (CCN or cloud seeds), the more cirrus cloud cover created.
Lee puts the aviation fuel problem pithily: “The truth is that artificial clouds are destructive
to nature, harmful to health, and there is nothing ‘normal’ about fire-breathing metal tubes
spewing nanoparticles at 30,000 feet.”
Add to that the two FOIAs in 1994 from the Joint Nonlethal Weapons Directorate (JNLWD)
45
revealing that the U.S. military was still pursuing weather warfare despite the ENMOD ban :
the U.S. Naval Research Lab at China Lake, California was experimenting with weather
modification techniques, and the U.S. Air Force Research Lab at Wright Patterson Air Force
Base was researching CBD/CBA seeding as a “force multiplier.” 46
In 1996, the oft-quoted “Weather As A Force Multiplier: Owning the Weather in 2025” was
released by the USAF Air War College as a roadmap for weather warfare technologies, including
a diagram showing the use of CBD by 2005 under “Technologies to be developed by DOD
47
(Department of Defense).” “Owning the Weather” is no “think piece.” At the Test Technology
Symposium ’97, “Session B: Advanced Weapon/Instrumentation Technologies,” Dr. Arnold
Barnes of the Phillips Lab/GPO at Hanscom Air Force Base reiterated the use of CBD for
weather warfare on three slides, including a slide with current capabilities referencing cloud
creation. 48
Harking back to 1973 when atmospheric scientist William M. Gray (Colorado State
University) and meteorologist William M. Frank (Pennsylvania State University) proposed
49
aircraft delivery of carbon black soot to heat portions of a hurricane to alter its path, the post-
Katrina 2008 Hurricane Modification Workshop sponsored by the U.S. Department of Homeland
