Who said anything about lying?

My point was that there is no financial incentive IMO.

I just can’t see any logic in the theory.

What do they say? Follow the money.

1) spend a lot on developing, testing and deploying this contrail technology. This would have to include their own fleet of planes or paying off airline companies + presumably some amount of lobbying to get regulators and government to look the other way. That’s a significant outlay.

2) continue to deploy for an unknown amount of time until farmers yields become so low they decide to sell their farms.

Falling yields would presumably lead to food shortages and rising food prices.

We’re already seeing populations declining because of the cost of living so it stands to reason that food shortages and increased prices would exacerbate this.

How long have contrails been talked about, 5 years? Food prices have gone up during that time but not because of falling yields. So that’s 5 years of expenses on this either 0 return and no proof of concept.

Farmers would probably need 3 bad years in a row to call it quits so even if it starts working now that’s still another 3 years of expenses.

3) buy farms at cheap prices and start to farm them directly.

So let’s be generous and say it’s a decade from 1st dollar spent to 1st farm purchased.

Then what? Buy all the farms, control the food supply, jack up prices so you can turn a profit running the farms and make a return on the decade + of investment.

But people are already struggling because of increased prices. Increasing food prices more is going to contribute to populations continuing to fall. Lower population = less food sold = less money for the evil corporations.

I’m not trying to pick a fight. I am asking for anyone to lay out a logical reason as to why companies would want to do this because I can’t see what the financial incentive is and ‘power’ is not typically what incentivises companies to make massive investments of extremely long periods of time.
