And an evil "greenhouse gas" too when in the atmosphere.
Doesn’t Ron Paul have a site where these “people” could hang-out.
Thanks for posting this, threads like this are always fun!
No one denies that there are a lot of contrails in the sky and that they spread out to provide a thin cloud layer at high altitudes. The most stunning example was when the air transport fleets were grounded in the days after 9/11 the sky became clearer.
I'll let Art Bell handle the leap from jet engines producing water vapor trails as a natural result of combustion of jet fuel to someone dumping tons of various chemicals over America.
The world will end. This I know
for Art Bell has told me so.
Cool pic!
Chem trails.....folks, they are the results of jets flying etc. How is this some conspiracy?
I believe in some things, like UFOs. But, I have never gotten chem trails.
They are nothing suspicious.
This is actually a good comic diversion from the carnage happening in Congress today.
Condensation trails have made people sick?

Run by the Weather Modification Department, a division of the Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences, the program employs and trains 32,000 to 35,000 people across China, some of them farmers, who are paid to handle anti-aircraft guns and rocket launchers [source: Aiyar]. These heavy-duty weapons launch pellets containing silver iodide into clouds. Silver iodide is thought to concentrate moisture and cause rain, a process known as cloud seeding. China has invested heavily in this technology, using more than 12,000 anti-aircraft guns and rocket launchers in addition to about 30 planes [source: Aiyar].
There are three cloud seeding methods: static, dynamic and hygroscopic.
* Static cloud seeding involves spreading a chemical like silver iodide into clouds. The silver iodide provides a crystal around which moisture can condense. The moisture is already present in the clouds, but silver iodide essentially makes rain clouds more effective at dispensing their water.
* Dynamic cloud seeding aims to boost vertical air currents, which encourages more water to pass through the clouds, translating into more rain [source: Cotton]. Up to 100 times more ice crystals are used in dynamic cloud seeding than in the static method. The process is considered more complex than static clouding seeding because it depends on a sequence of events working properly. Dr. William R. Cotton, a professor of atmospheric science at Colorado State University, and other researchers break down dynamic cloud seeding into 11 separate stages. An unexpected outcome in one stage could ruin the entire process, making the technique less dependable than static cloud seeding.
* Hygroscopic cloud seeding disperses salts through flares or explosives in the lower portions of clouds. The salts grow in size as water joins with them. In his report on cloud seeding, Cotton says that hygroscopic cloud seeding holds much promise, but requires further research.
It's also known as condensation sublimation. The ice crystals will linger there for hours and sometimes days or weeks, depending on the level of winds in the jet stream.
I have spent a large number of hours behind the yoke in a cockpit myself and frequently followed my own jet wash on the return trip a day later. It was every bit as fresh and visible as it was the day before on some occasions.
The idea that this is some conspiracy that the Government is poisoning us with chemicals or trying to control us with “chem-trails” is simply ignorant stupidity.
But go ahead, call “After Dark” (George Norrie or Art Bell) and join in the fun of being patently stupid. Your choice.
The lack of it is also fatal.
I don’t think vaccinations cause autism, but mercury does.
That article has facts, verified by a certified lab.
Gut feelings are great, and I encourage you to “look into your gut”, but facts are facts. Opinions on the other hand are like something else.
And yet, the corporatist bastards are spraying it on your children’s vegetables every day.
Someone needs to get a petition going to ban that stuff once and for all.
“Condensation trails have made people sick?”
Yes, it’s the Dihyrogen Monooxide. Very dangerous chemical.
But they are real. They are threatening the extinction of Bigfoot, chupacabras, and Nessie too.
