However, that is mainly because they tend to form at 30,000 ft, at temperatures below -50 deg C. You don't want to try to breathe there at all.

Messner and Habeler reached the summit in 1978 without supplemental oxygen. Messner also did it again in 1980 in a solo attempt. I think several other climbers have also reached the summit without supplemental oxygen since then.Try is about all the average person could do...
Although Everest (29012 feet) has been climbed 1 time without suplimental O2 by a crazy dude.
I know there was a recent BBC Horizon documentary about some British doctors who climbed Everest (with supplemental oxygen) to do various tests, the blood taken from the doctors that made the summit was actually blue!
I have tried to track down the original "law" and I cannot find it - I can find the self references to this quote all over the place but I have not succeeded in finding the actual law.PUBLIC LAW 95-79 [P.L. 95-79] TITLE 50, CHAPTER 32, SECTION 1520 "CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL WARFARE PROGRAM" "The use of human subjects will be allowed for the testing of chemical and biological agents by the U.S. Department of Defense, accounting to Congressional committees with respect to the experiments and studies." "The Secretary of Defense [may] conduct tests and experiments involving the use of chemical and biological [warfare] agents on civilian populations [within the United States]." -SOURCE- Public Law 95-79, Title VIII, Sec. 808, July 30, 1977, 91 Stat. 334. In U.S. Statutes-at-Large, Vol. 91, page 334, you will find Public Law 95-79. Public Law 97-375, title II, Sec. 203(a)(1), Dec. 21, 1982, 96 Stat. 1882. In U.S. Statutes-at-Large, Vol. 96, page 1882, you will find Public Law 97-375.
I have, what I am sure is a moronic question. I have been trying to track down this reference

Anyone actually seen it?

Anyone know the history of these codes, their applicability in real life, and the interpretations imposed on them vis-a-vis the various conspiracy myths?
The US Code is the list of Federal Statutes or Federal Law.
Since when does anything have to make sense to be a conspiracy myth? I thought the fact that they don't make sense was one of the requirement for them to exist!![]()

I'm surprized no one has mentioned Dennis Kuchinich and HR2977 yet.
Contrail Science said:In a nutshell, Kucinich did not write the bill (or read it, until too late), the focus of the bill is nothing to do with chemtrails, it was written by UFO enthusiasts trying to:
- Nullify a vast conspiracy by the “military-industrial complex”
- Allow the use of suppressed alien technology for free energy
- Avoid accidentally shooting down (or scaring away) visiting aliens.
When he was made aware of the nature of the “exotic weapons” language in the bill, it was re-written, and when questioned about it, he said“I’m not into that. Understand me. When I found out that was in there, I said, ‘Look, I’m not interested in going there.’”...... Yet HR2977 is constantly being mentioned solely to make the case that “chemtrails” are something the government is aware of. The reality is that they were simply given a passing mention in bill written by new-age UFO conspiracy theorists and sponsored by an eccentric politician, all of who believe in things that are far more unusual than “chemtrails”.
A true pedant would know that it's a basic tenet.now I'm speaking to lurkers and newbies, as usual, since Reheat knows this basic tenant even better than I do...
