Anyone believe this chemtrail conspiracy stuff?

Question

I gotta friend that just rants about it every time he sees white streaks in the sky. Im so sure that there are tanker trucks loading up some kind of chemical on Passenger jets to help speed up the global warming process.

Even the so called "facts" look photoshopped, and I can see when I yank the photos off their servers that the files were created back in like 1999 and edited in 2004 and stuff like that.

LOL! im not asking because im not SURE i just want to see how many jokers are actually fooled by conspiracy theories. I know what the trails are caused by. Im an engineer!

please chemicals in the air?

Cmon people dont be fooled by this junk. Its just a waste of energy. Some trails stay alot longer just because of atmospheric conditions and barometric pressure. Ambient humidity and other things. Full moon? vapor will cling together for longer periods of time within the upper atmospheres.

Answer 1

If you're asking about the white trails that follow planes, then they're perfectly natural.

I'm sure you've seen the clouds really really high up that form almost like smarties shapes all joined together. When they cover the sky, it looks like a beach with the water ripple marks in it. (the posh word is cirrocumulus)

Basically, the aeroplane trails are just man-made versions of these clouds. The conditions that planes cause in the atmosphere, by movement and heat and moisure etc cause micro-climates where these clouds form.

The interesting history behind these is that they only form above certain heights, because air density affects them, and in WW2, British planes used to be forbidden from flying above 20 000 feet because above that height they ight leave a trail to show where they'd been.

Answer 2

Contrails are made of water vapor. There's no such thing as "chemtrails." The exhaust from airplane engines consists almost entirely of water and carbon dioxide. The water condenses into a liquid under the right atmospheric conditions and becomes visible as a trail. These trails are identical to clouds. Depending on conditions, sometimes they evaporate again, or sometimes they linger and may even encourage the formation of other clouds.

Answer 3

"Passenger jets have a contrail that quickly dissapates"

Wrong. It depends entirely on the moisture content of the upper troposphere. If the air is supersaturated, Contrails last for a very long time and spread out. We have known about contrails since the 1930s when aircraft began flying at high altitudes. You can forecast the height and duration of contrails using a temperature sounding of the atmosphere.

The idea of chemtrails is proposed by people who know bugger-all about atmospheric physics and understand less.

Answer 4

I see chem trails all the time. It's disturbing that the government acknowledges them and then won't tell us what the chemical is. Scary, huh. And they are not passenger jets. Passenger jets have a contrail that quickly dissapates Chem stays in the sky for a very long time and usually there are many at the same time. Look to your skies and ask the questions...what is it and what will be the effects?

Answer 5

Yep.....I do. There's a few Senators hip on it as well. I have a friend who doesn't edit her pics and she has tons of photos of almost perfect checker board patterns in the sky above her home. Alot better pics than what I've seen on some sites. I also was privy to some info from a reliable source who knows they did mist cities with stuff that caused mild forms of a flu like sickness in the 80's. I don't think they're trying to speed up global warming....just messing around with altering the weather and other things.

Answer 6

Those white streaks are the result of low pressure created
by the wing configuration of the aircraft. They are made up
of water vapor just like clouds.

Your friend wasn't paying attention in science class, was he.
