The chemtrails post was moved to the moderators' forum, as it IS pure nonsense.
As for aerosols, in general, affecting TC formation/intensification, there has been a good deal of study on the subject. By "aerosols", they're meaning cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) primarily from ocean spray. You can check some of the presentations at the last Interdepartmental Hurricane Conference.

One such study/presentation on aerosols is here:

I attended the 29th Conference on Hurricanes and Tropical Meteorology in Tucson, AZ in 2010. There were a number of presentations on aerosols. Many are recorded (video form). See Session 2C on the Hurricane Aerosols and Microphysics Program (HAMP):
