$12M FAA - ASCENT Project 002, through Philip Whitefield runs 2025 - 2026 measures ‘volatile particulates’ that form from exhaust, mainly including ➡️sulfuric acid droplets⬅️ and other chemicals. These chemical filled droplets seed ice crystals and form the expanding white trails that cover the sky. The FAA has already admitted these trails expand up to miles, alter the climate, and reflect the sunlight away from the earth or block the sun (FAA Contrails page, July 21, 2025). The visible line is ice, but it forms on chemical nuclei, NOT pure water vapor alone. The project tests these chemicals while chasing and following aircraft, including a Gulfstream behind a G700 with Rolls-Royce Pearl engines in Savannah, plus ground campaigns on Pratt & Whitney-powered A220s in Canada and E195-E2/A320neo aircraft in Europe. The data feeds ICAO’s CAEP (Committee on Aviation Environmental Protection), the UN specialized agency that sets global aircraft emission standards. ICAO itself is now testing and evaluating volatile particulate matter through its technical working groups, reviewing measurement methods and cruise-level emissions data to consider future standards. Any regulations we have, global or within the United States, do not cover this volatile particulate matter. The U.S. has generally waited for ICAO agreements before regulating aircraft emissions. Why hand the findings to ICAO for global rules instead of acting under the Clean Air Act, which lists sulfuric acid aerosols as a toxic chemical, here in the United States? Why is the FAA and EPA telling the public these trails are harmless water vapor while studying sulfuric acid and other chemical particulates that seed them???!!!!!

There were over 100 bills prohibiting geoengineering and weather modification introduced across more than 30 states last session, sponsored and cosponsored by hundreds of state legislators like @SenMastriano’s Clean Air Preservation Act, SB 508. They deserve our respect and support. They stepped up where the federal administration has not, to protect their states and our atmosphere. The next legislative session is coming up. Let’s go from 3 bills passed into law (FL, TN, LA) to over 100! Grassroots has real power. When we show up, we can make real change. Let’s do this 👊
