After 9-11 a climatologist who was studying the effect onm weather of the contrails (condensation vapour trails from the jet exhaust) -- from jet aircraft. He looked at the data for the resulting 3 week jet transport shutdown. He had been looking for reliable data since the 1950's, but could only get a maximum one day intervals of air traffic dormancy. This was too little to work with. This 3 week period gave him a wealth of data.

It was thought that the contrails could affect heating of the near earth air mass. What he found astounded him. The jet contrails affected weather far more than anybody had imagined. During the 3 week shutdown there was a marked heating period that could only be explained after careful statistical analysis as the result of the absence of jets.

If the jets can change the heat of the planet that much, it should be apparent to any fool that man made changes of green house gases which are more massive by far than the effect to the jets, and the depeletion of the ozone layer must have very real effect on the planet. We know the result that carbon dioxide has on heating. We know what freon does to ozone. the only question is now, what overall effect does it have on temperature? Can it have no or negligible effect? It would seem from the lesson of the jet contrails we would be kidding ourselves about no effect.

The only thing that could tell us to any degree of certainty without real inputs ise really large scale and correct or adaptive self correcting mathematical model, with volunteer distributed computing.

Or-->

A trial where we turn off greenhouse gases or markedly reduce them for some long period(s).. with some repeats over time for statistical certainty. It takes sacrifice, but what are the alternatives? Crop failure? Species death? Desertification?

The computing we could do right now with volunteer work. The question is there. It takes people getting together to answer it.
