The Conspiracy Involved With Chemtrails

Article 1:

"Chemtrails Discussed At United Nations Hearing On Global Warming" by Arjun Walla

Response:

First off, the author blew my mind when mentioned that the weather was even modified in China for the 2008 Olympics. I figured what an extraordinary idea for keeping the traditions of the saying, "The show must go on!". This could be a great idea if FIFA allowed the next world cup to be hosted in Qatar (a country that has a temperature typically about 50 degrees Celcius), and end the rant that has been involved to be against this. All and all, I was even more surprised that the author is writing about Rosalind Peterson, whom formally worked for the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), and is now formed her own organization called Agriculture Defence Coalition (ADC) that generally aims to protect agriculture and atmospheric testing programs (aka geoengineering). A person that used to work for the USDA and formed one's own organization tells me that the USDA is probably doing subpar work to one's expectation to protect the environment one lives in.

Credibility:

The writer definitely shows deep interest when it comes to chemical trails. The author leaked a video back in 2007 and this blog article was made in March 22, 2014 willingly showing how not recent these chemical trails in the sky have been, and how it should concern us. I give the author credibility for mentioning that yes, this is a conspiracy theory, a theory to be concerned and for the people to be more aware of its surroundings right above our very eyes. The author provided his claims with a lot of sources, and most of these sources are actually accredited (websites ending in .org/.edu), explaining and backing up the negative effects of chemical trails proven to be lethal and deadly to the environment, how the CIA, NASA, and private companies back up and supporting geo-engineering projects to play god. In conclusion, the author wasn't rude when pointing out flaws, backed up claims with research and sources, and gave us a brief background to chemtrail.

Logic:

The only logical analysis I could find in this blog type article is a lack of explanation towards the picture he attached revolving the concept of global warming and how that is related to chemical trails. The picture actually contradicts his claims and argument because according to the picture, chemicals in the sky are there to "save ozone", as oppose to harm it. The second is that right underneath the picture showed a wall of text assuming that this was the explanation towards the picture, but turns out it was a quote Rosalind Peterson had to say about manmade agriculture. Should the author organize this a bit better, then he would have nailed this blog/article for clarity purposes. All and all, this blog/article provided some hardcore, concerning argument for the public to be aware of what potential harm these chemtrails can portray to our environment. With not even government organizations addressing to this issue that is obvious to the naked eye.
