They are not Chem trails now. They are cosmic ray trails, and probably much worse. They have increased recently due to the lack of sunspots:

Cosmic rays definitely cause cancer and mutations. As well as clouds.

I'll elaborate on that a little. It's true that under certain normal conditions, more frequent coronal mass ejections can cause a reaction in a layer of our atmosphere that offers more protection. Here's more.

Some of you may have noticed news over the past few years about the magnetic north pole wandering rapidly and far to the north. As that has happened, parts of the magnetic field have weakened (normal during such a shift).

Weak spots in the magnetic field can allow solar storms and cosmic rays to cause a process that can deplete the ozone layer in those spots. Nitrogen gas is dissolved, so to speak, into atoms reacting with oxygen gas to form nitrogen oxides: ozone destroyers.

Because the magnetic field shift accompanies more outer core and mantle movement, volcanism, seismic activity and methane leaks might increase. Increased methane also depletes the ozone layer.

The ozone layer is replenished naturally and quickly when not depleted too quickly.

Those processes cause unusual, long term weather patterns. As for the unusually cooler weather in the northeast, that has also been accompanied by extended solar minimums in the past.

So for PieterCasparzen, the increasing haze is caused by more dust (drought), ash (volcanism), smoke (more forest fires) and other debris in the air from the West. Enough particles in the atmosphere can also cause drought in the West, by the way. A very thick, continuing haze slows evaporation, which slows condensation and precipitation, making that process too slow to produce as much rain and snow as before.

We (mankind) did not cause it and cannot stop it. It's normal and happens once in a great while. It does not end life on earth. We can only take better care of ourselves by covering up more during the couple of hours on each side of solar noon, doing more agricultural work in the Midwest and east, and so on.

So why all the heavily sponsored media noise about man-caused global warming? Big pecuniary benefits and influence are possible for those who keep knowledge to themselves.

The following supports your comment.

Does the number of sunspots have any effect on the climate here on Earth? SOHO, NASA
Excerpt:

However, there are more important indirect effects: sunspots are associated with what we call "active regions", with large magnetic structured containing very hot material (being held in place by the magnetism). This caused more ultraviolet (or UV) radiation (the rays that give you a suntan or sunburn), and extreme ultraviolet radiation (EUV). These types of radiation have an impact on the chemistry of the upper atmosphere (e.g. producing ozone). Since some of these products act as greenhouse gases, the number of sunpots (through association with active regions) may influence the climate in this way.

But remember that with too many weak field lines over a large area, ozone is depleted instead, and increased outer core and mantle activity precede increased magnetic field movement. Increased methane leakage might result, causing further ozone depletion. Thinner, wider ranging clouds can result from that, too, but they don't produce much precipitation in general. Drought follows in areas under magnetic weak spots.
