"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..."

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.

Except I sit and watch the planes all day.

I love planes.

I take careful note of the “contrails” in the morning, noting how it gradually shifts with upper air currents. For example, a lot of high-alt cruising traffic moves towards the SSE, presumably coming in from Europe going towards the heartland.

Gradually the contrails dissipate. Pretty soon what was separate contrails early in the morning - I’m watching out the window or taking walks as this happens, mind you - and by afternoon there is a complete haze covering. I can see a great distance to the west and notice the same greatly dissipated contrail patterns gradually blowing over from west to east by prevailing winds at altitude.

There’s no sunspots or volcanoes or smog involved at all.

I’ve lived most of my life about 40 miles west of New York City. I’ve landed in NYC area airports hundreds of times, so I know about NYC smog patterns. Smog forms a hemisphere over a city.

For 50 years it has always been noticeably cleaner air 40 miles west of NYC than it is in NYC. Again, prevailing winds blow towards NYC from here.

What’s to the west of here ? Thousands of miles of small towns and small cities, where manufacturing smog, since the regulation era of the 1980s began, increasing until now, smog is noticeably absent from where I am.
