The CHEM-TRAILS ARE COALESCING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Researchers have many ideas about why noctilucent clouds may be growing in number and brightness, and most of them are related to global warming.

And they were first discovered 120 years ago? Right around the time when The Little Ice Age was ending? Fascinating.

[weegee]

Since their discovery 120 years ago, strangely luminescent clouds called noctilucent clouds have been creeping slowly toward the equator.

...

This month, NASA plans to launch the $110 million AIM (Aeronomy of Ice in the Mesosphere) mission to measure noctilucent clouds and the circumstances in which they form - which may be linked to climate change.

So the industrial revolution on 1887 was to blame for these? Or is it possible that man is not the cause of cyclical global warming trends in the universe?

Bush should be very happy they have found a new scapegoat. It must be global warming......the new answer for everything.

Noctilucent clouds - which are made of ice crystals, not water droplets - need very cold temperatures to form, he said.

In the atmosphere's coldest reaches, there's very little water vapor, a key ingredient for cloud formation, Rusch said. Observed increases in water vapor in the atmosphere - a consequence of warming - may also make it easier for the clouds to form, he said.

Water vapor is tremendously more effective as a greenhouse gas than mere Carbon Dioxide. Seems this gent is putting the cart before the horse. The clouds just might be contributing to the warming...not the result of it.

which may be linked to climate change

What a dumb statement. Don't they know EVERYTHING is related to climate change? My dog is going deaf due to climate change.

As a fair-skinned person, I've come to realize that I'm allergic to Global Warming^®. As such, I'm protected by the Americans With Disabilities Act. I want:

1) My own shaded parking space--everywhere;
2) My own air-conditioned bathroom stalls--everywhere;
3) Re-designed sidewalks that don't reflect light or store heat;
4) National and municipal parks re-designed to block sunlight and provide for a climate-controlled experience.

Failure to accomodate my handicap will result in a massive lawsuit before a liberal judge.

I just can't enough of the gubbmint spending our $$$$$$$$$ on "studies" about weather and how it changes. I wish I could get a 3-day forecast that was right.

This is stupid. The pattern strongly suggests a correlation with the Earth's magnetic field (like the Aurora Borealis and Aurora Australis).

It is well known that the Earth's magnetic field has been weakening, and it is expected to flip within the next millenium or so.

LOL... This is very bad, I saw something very similar on Ghostbusters!

[Chaguito]

Scientists don't know enough yet to definitively call noctilucent clouds harbingers of climate change, Russell said. "But right now, we don't have another explanation,"

To a hammer all questions look like nails.

[Ditter]

Globull warming, I should have known.

Maybe the earth is becoming flat again.

Isn't everything?

Observed increases in water vapor in the atmosphere - a consequence of warming - may also make it easier for the clouds to form, he said.

Or a cause of warming. Water vapor is a "stronger" greenhouse gas than C02.

They might be 50 miles up at the mid latitudes, but they are much lower at 64 north. They are so low I did not realize they actually are noctilucent clouds even though they are highly visible except in summer.
