Mick West, Owner of Contrailscience, lies once again. Please be aware!
on August 6, 2012 at 7:47 PMI consider this as proof of another chemtrails debunker inconsistency. Chemtrails debunker often claim that contrails was made of water vapor. This is a false statement.
The story started when I posted to facebook about: “Anyone who says that contrails are made only of water vapor is shill.”. Then Mick West responded, 4 August 2012:
“But there’s lots of aerosols in the atmosphere anyway, that’s how natural clouds form.
Contrails would form even if there were no soot in the exhaust. The main thing is the water in the exhaust.”
Screen shot:

In response to my response of:
“My reference mentions that aerosols are required.”
He answered:
“No it does not. It says aerosol is important. The large amount of aerosols in the exhaust does change the properties of contrails, but it is not required. A contrail would form anyway, just one with different crystal density.
Consider a pure hydrogen engine. It would produce no aerosols, just water. And yet a contrail would still form.
Aerosols MUST be in the air already otherwise there would be no clouds.”
Screenshot:

He claimed that all the articles in contrailscience are his thoughts:

He provided link to a new article dated of July 31st, 2012.


Unlike the article with similar theme from TheTruthDenied, this article states that contrails avoidance is not something to be done.
However, the reason I mentioned this article is because of this quote bellow:
“Contrails also require condensation nuclei. Often this comes from soot and sulphur and other byproducts in the engine exhaust.”
He denied my statement about “My reference mentions that aerosols are required.”, when a few days before he wrote on his website: “Contrails also require condensation nuclei”.
Then he give me a graph for reference:

Which is:

I then posted a different graph with the same topic:

His response:
“My graph came from your link. It seems pretty similar to the second one you posted, but with an additional set of estimates.”
Screenshot:

The graph posted by Mick West is supposed to be similar the red bar on the graph posted by me. However, note his graph shows contrails have a lower warming property than CO2, when mine shows almost the same thing. Then another chemtrails debunker also posted a graph on David Icke’s forum, similar to the one posted by Mick West.
I consider this proof of manipulated data, not by Mick West, but by something else in a bigger scale. This is an obvious game going on , and I thought the public should be aware.
Edit:
I note that some people agree with the post bellow, posted by Mick West:
“But there’s lots of aerosols in the atmosphere anyway, that’s how natural clouds form.
Contrails would form even if there were no soot in the exhaust. The main thing is the water in the exhaust.”
While it may look make sense, logical, etc; There is problem with that statement: no evidence.
That statement was not backed up by scientific evidence, and probably never. Here is reference from scientific document, denying the first statement:
http://www.icas.org/ICAS_ARCHIVE_CD1998-2010/ICAS2006/PAPERS/136.PDF
“(1). Cirrus clouds can evolve from spreading persistent contrails known as primary cirrus or contrail cirrus (2). Secondary cirrus occur due to locally increased soot and aerosol concentration, which might lead to the formation of cirrus clouds that would not form in the absence of air traffic.”
Clouds made by plane aerosol is different from natural clouds.
Then for the second statement:
http://science-edu.larc.nasa.gov/contrail-edu/science.html
“Contrails are clouds formed when water vapor condenses and freezes around small particles (aerosols) that exist in aircraft exhaust. Some of that water vapor comes from the air around the plane; and, some is added by the exhaust of the aircraft.”
The main thing of contrails is not the water, but the aerosol or particle production. I could not find statement in scientific reference that support the idea of contrails can form with only water vapor.
The strange things is, many people (even among chemtrails believer) consider Mick West assumption as facts, even without evidence, and deny the real fact.
Edit:
Recently I came accross clouds information for kids from thecontrails.com. There is two different definition of contrails origin.
From NASA:
http://science-edu.larc.nasa.gov/SCOOL/pdf/Kiwi_Kids_Cloud_Guide.pdf
“Contrails are formed when particles from aircraft jet engines mix with the water vapour in the air. The water vapour condenses and freezes around the particles causing long white trails across the sky.”
From Weather Wiz Kids:
http://www.weatherwizkids.com/weather-clouds.htm
“Contrails are condensation trails left behind jet aircrafts. Contrails form when hot humid air from jet exhaust mixes with environmental air of low vapor pressure and low temperature. The mixing is a result of turbulence generated by the engine exhaust.”
We see different source of contrails. The first link mention that contrails are from particles, the second link are from hot humid air. Only one of them is correct. Chemtrails debunker like Mick West deny the first link and agree with the second link.
Different crucial explanation of the same thing indicate disinformation. The difference is crucial because it change the logic. Anyone believe in the second link would think that to create trails on unfavorable condition would require more water. While anyone who believe in the first link would think that to create trails on unfavorable condition would require more particles which is originally very very small in percentage.
This link bellow indicate that 5500ppm (0.55%) is enough to produce more trails:
A collection of papers presented at the 14th International Conference on Nucleation and Atmospheric Aerosols, Helsinki, 26 – 30 August 1996.
Based on the above link, spraying chemtrails do not need supertanker.
Edit:
It seems Mick West still do not learn his lesson. He kept spewing baseless logic.
The article of Dec 13th, 2012:
“But the condensation from your breath quickly evaporates, usually in less than a second. Condensation trails from a jet can last for many minutes, even for hours sometimes. So why is there this difference? Why do jet contrails sometime persist, but your breath condensation quickly evaporates?
The difference is because a contrail freezes.”
The real reason for why the contrails persist is because contrails have nuclei. The nuclei make the water vapor stick together. Without the nuclei, the trails may not form at all:
Contrails: What’s Left Behind Is Bad News, By Nick Onkow, March 4, 2006
There are several methods that can be explored that will help reduce the role that contrails play in global warming. The easiest way to avoid this global warming through contrail cirrus clouds is to have jets fly at different altitudes. Flying higher than the typical 30,000 to 40,000 feet would usually stop contrails from forming, as would flying lower. another option might be to increase the emission standards of jet engines and with that only insure airplanes with the newer, cleaner engines. Tests were performed with a NASA jet aircraft examining the effect of sulfur levels in jet fuel exhaust. During the airborne test one engine was run on normal jet fuel and the other engine was run on fuel that emitted exhaust with a lower sulfur content. The high sulfur engine, representing most jet engines on modern commercial aircraft, produced a contrail that lasted through a larger range of temperatures and formed faster out of the engine. The low sulfur engine did the opposite. This condensation nuclei is the tiny matter that gives water vapor the ability to form. The International Civil Aviation Organization is in favor of making polluting, obsolete aircraft uninsurable. While this option would not completely eliminate contrails, it would narrow the window of conditions needed to form them, making them less common.”
In that experiment, sulfur is a very important factor for contrails life and visibility. Chemtrails debunker often claimed that banning contrails is impossible because air travel is neccesary, the article explained that contrails can be avoided without banning air travel.
Since chemtrails are also trail, if government ban contrails, then chemtrails will also be banned.

he has a good point,
it’s dust or micro dust in the air, that allows the water vapor to turn into ice crystals, or water droplets. which are the contrails.
the main different in contrails and chemtrails are the jets apparently have their own very fine particles that are added to the mix, that the water vapor can form on.
i do see other mixes in chemtrails,
they are grayer looking, and seem to last all day, spreading through the sky.
anyway, roxy you seem to have it covered,
just thought i’d add in my 2 cents.
Charles, is that what you believe or is that from some reference?
Please read this article, about the component of contrails.
http://www.thetruthdenied.com/news/2012/04/02/chemtrails-debunker-inconsistency/
I believe that even contrails is made from chemical material (soot particle / aerosol). I believe chemtrails can be contrails with added material.
who has a good point?
Can clouds exist without dust particles or other material?
Can clouds exist without water vapor?
Who is correct, you or Mick?
This is about contrails, not clouds.
The argumentation is Mick West’s post in facebook vs his post in his website.
“Contrails would form even if there were no soot in the exhaust.”
vs
“Contrails also require condensation nuclei.”
Both are opposite to each other, only one of them is correct but all of them are statement by Mick West.
The statements are not opposite. You are ignoring the condensation nuclei already present in the atmosphere.
I see. Then why you deny this:
“My reference mentions that aerosols are required.”
Which you answer with:
“No it does not. ….”
But still, you still never post scientific reference for this:
“Contrails would form even if there were no soot in the exhaust.”
You reference did not say they were required, which was my point.
At some point ice crystal formation requires a condensation nuclei. This is USUALLY an aerosol in the exhaust or the ambient air. However it can also be “homogeneously nucleated ice ” – i.e. tiny ice crystals that formed without an aerosol. Source: http://www.grida.no/publications/other/ipcc_sr/?src=/climate/ipcc/aviation/038.htm
“Ice particle nucleation occurs either through homogeneous nucleation (when pure water droplets or liquid aerosol particles freeze) or through heterogeneous nucleation, when freezing of the liquid is triggered by a solid particle or surface that is in contact with the liquid or suspended within the liquid.”
Of course jet engines all create nuclei in the form of aerosols, so there’s no need for this. However some rocket engines burn hydrogen and oxygen, and produce only water, and still leave a very solid contrail.
I am not sure what your point is.
Thanks for the link. This should be included to make the reader understand:
“For instance, supersaturations in excess of 40-50% with respect to ice are needed for sulfuric acid particles to freeze homogeneously”.
Supersaturation : “If the relative humidity becomes greater than 100%, it is called supersaturated.”
Do you have explicit quote about more water produce more contrails?
And I see Roxy keeps mentioning the graphs like I forged them. The problem here is THIS WAS YOUR GRAPH!!! I got it from the link you just posted. You then posted another one, and I said they looked similar. They do look similar, but they are not the same.
Mick, you are confusing me Roxy Lopez, with the author of this post and article. I simply post them, I did not write the article, I approve your comments, period. Leave me out of your discussion, keep it between you and the author please, or I will ban you from The Truth Denied. Have respect.
AND for the record Roxy Lopez did not write the article or use any graphs whatsoever…..Have the conversation with the AUTHOR please.
What interesting is chemtrails debunker always choose to post the one that suppress the contrails number.
Sorry Laura, I though Roxy had reposted something about this on Facebook.
I would be grateful if sucahyo could answer my points above, particularly about homogeneously nucleated ice.
Already answered, but still do not reply from Mick West.
I don’t see the truth behind these allegations
I see myself white or black nimbus clouds dissapear after trails show up. For me trails is not natural and disturb nature.
What do you think is the fact of contrails?
