Yeah, I do. But these are not contrails. As a kid, the contrails would disappear rapidly behind the jet. These do not evaporate; they expand and spread out, eventually thin out into a haze. It's intentional, and I hope the incoming administration ends them.

Chemtrails aren't a thing. What you're seeing are condensation trails that form and are visible under certain meteorological conditions at certain altitudes. The idea that someone is flying thousands of planes every day as part of some chemical spraying agenda is patently absurd, and has absolutely no evidentiary basis. These are the claims of conspiracy theorists who don't understand what they're seeing, and are concocting elaborate stories that make sense of well-known and understood phenomenon.

The speed at which they dissipate depends entirely on the altitude and specific meteorological conditions, and temperatures.

it's about -50F at the altitude of at which jets fly

are you sure they are supposed to evaporate at 80 degrees below freezing ?

They used to. I saw them as a child, teenager and younger adult. They melted and disappeared. Not immediately, but after only a few minutes. They did not pollute the sky like they do now. Ask anyone over the age of 40.

i am not saying that there are no chemtrails

only that you can't really infer them because a picture online doesn't look like what you remember seeing as a child

the sky when i look at it with my own eyes looks the same as it did 40 years ago even though 40 years ago i looked at it in USSR and am now in America

but on conspiracy theorist pictures it looks different - oh well

i am not photoshop expert but pretty sure it is not hard to photoshop a bunch of trails onto a sky

also there is more air travel now than there used to be

if they wanted to poison you they would use food, water, toothpaste, vaccines etc.

if they wanted to change the weather they would spray the countryside, not cities.

i am a conspiracy theorist but i like to focus on stuff that can be proven.

research shows people are always afraid of the wrong things.

you SHOULD be afraid. but not of the "scary" stuff.

I'm over 40 and I completely disagree with the notion of chemtrails. The colder it is at the altitude of the plane, the longer it takes for the contrail to dissipate. In the winter months, temperatures are often many degrees below zero. Nothing is melting. The water particles that make up the contrail freeze, and the contrail maintains its composition until it sublimates and dissipates; a process that takes more time than if the temperature was warmer.

I used to believe this too and thought it was a crackpot idea. Until now, they’re openly saying they cloud seed and it’s no longer a conspiracy theory. It was the specific reason for the rain and flooding in Dubai.

Cloud seeding isn't new and it isn't a secret. It also isn't happening all over the place. It's an experimental process for increasing rainfall in areas where drought is negatively impacting crop harvests. It also doesn't generate the contrails that chemtrail conspiracy theorists insist are really the government spraying chemicals into the population. You're conflating two completely things.

You do realize there are many examples of the government directly spraying the populace, right?

I can list many others. It’s not a stretch of the imagination to suggest further malice, such as chemtrails.

Just stop. You're doing what every conspiracy theorist does. You're starting with your preferred reality, and fishing for nuggets of unrelated truth to disingenuously support the conspiracy theory. The fact that the government did something that partially reflects aspects of your conspiracy theory back in the 50s does not mean there is a mass government program involving thousands of planes on a daily basis going back decades to unendingly spray the population with "chemicals".

Also, the flooding in Dubai was largely the result of atmospheric warming following the general trend of warming. While cloud seeding was employed in Dubai, its effect on water retention in the clouds would have very minor, and not able to cause a flood. This is another case of people who don't understand what they're talking about taking a story containing a nugget of truth, and exaggerating its impact while conflating it with a conspiracy theory they're looking to prove. Chemtrails aren't real, and cloud seeding doesn't have anything to do with it.
