'Was project ARGUS and other high altitude nuclear explosions partially at fault for damaging the Ozone layer?…are chemtrails part of the cover up or a continuation of weather manipulation?

The potential manipulation of Earth’s heat budget and stratospheric ozone shield was a final concern of Wexler’s. In 1962 he lectured to technical audiences on inadvertent and purposeful damage to the ozone layer involving catalytic reactions of chlorine and bromine; he also lectured on climate-engineering through purposeful manipulation of Earth’s heat budget. Wexler discussed his concerns about increasing industrial pollution in the lower atmosphere, and from the increased use of sounding rockets in the thin, upper atmosphere. As an example he mentioned rising carbon dioxide emissions and cited a 1961 study by the Geophysics Corporation of America on modification of Earth’s upper atmosphere by rockets. He also reviewed recent developments in computing and satellites that led him to believe that manipulating and controlling large-scale phenomena in the atmosphere were distinct possibilities. In his lecture Wexler focused on both inadvertent and planned manipulations of “Earth’s radiative balance on a rather large scale [original emphasis].” After reviewing the dangers—to human health and to the climate system—of releasing huge quantities of carbon dioxide and other gases and particles to the lower atmosphere, Wexler turned to purposeful techniques of climate control.

He presented some 20 technical slides of the atmosphere’s radiative heat budget and discussed means of manipulating it, concluding with a grand cautionary summary of various techniques to: a. increase global temperature by 1.7 C by injecting a cloud of ice crystals into the polar atmosphere by detonating 10 H-bombs in the Arctic Ocean; b. lower global temperature by 1.2 C by launching a ring of dust particles into equatorial orbit, a modification of an earlier Russian proposal to warm the Arctic; and c. destroy all stratospheric ozone, raising the tropopause, and cooling the stratosphere by up to 80°C by an injection of a catalytic agent such as chlorine or bromine.

He estimated that a mere 0.1 megaton bromine “bomb” would destroy all ozone in polar regions and 0.4 megaton would be needed near the equator. Wexler was concerned that inadvertent damage to the ozone layer might occur if increased rocket exhaust polluted the stratosphere. He was also concerned that future near-space experiments could go awry, citing: Operation Argus (nuclear blasts in near space, 1958); Project West Ford (a ring of small atoms might act in a catalytic cycle with atomic oxygen to destroy thousands of ozone molecules. In a handwritten note, composed in January 1962, Wexler scrawled the following: “UV decomposes O3 → O in presence of halogen like Br. O → O2 recombines and so prevents more O3 from forming.” On another slip of paper: “Br2 → 2 Br in sunlight destroys O3 → O2 + BrO.” These are essentially the basis of modern ozone-depleting chemical reactions. Using Manabe and Möller’s model, Wexler was able to calculate an 80 C stratospheric cooling with no ozone layer…
