Sky grids are pretty alarming and in your face. Both sides in this issue have put up outrageous sky grid pictures. Perhaps you could speak to a motive for sky grids, then, especially since it is so easy to eliminate persistent contrails completely and has been since WWII.
it's a damn shame he didn't take the money he is spending on this sequel and put it into renting that plane that can sample chemtrails and blow the whole conspiracy wide open.
Cloud seeding is invisible from the ground. it has nothing to do with X's or checkerboard patterns in the sky. Just obfuscation.

Let's agree, for the sake of it, that it IS easy to eliminate contrails completely and ignore any possible cost implications that may come with it.
What difference would this make to the pollution that comes out of the back of jet engines? Do you suppose that non-contrail producing aircraft are leaving fresh air behind them?
And yet here we are a thread about the sequel, but who couldn't see this coming??

The United States had a robust, vibrant research program (the Atmospheric Effects of Aviation Program). This program was discontinued around the year 2000.
However, when these effects are taken together, most estimates suggest that the impact of aviation on climate is greater per unit of fuel burn than that from surface-based combustion sources.
As we wrote in the 2004 Report to Congress, this is the area of greatest scientific uncertainty for aviation, and the area with the greatest potential for environmental impacts.
The FAA has led the world in supporting research to understand the air quality impacts of aviation resulting in several seminal contributions.
Despite laudable efforts this year to launch the Aviation Climate Change Research Initiative on the part of FAA and NASA, the gap in technical credibility with regard to aviation climate impacts has widened between the United States and Europe in the last four years. Most of the significant research findings are coming from Europe.

The toxicity of jet exhaust has never been in dispute. Nor have the harmful effects of invisible (to the naked eye) jet cirrus which, like natural invisible cirrus, is thought to be more abundant than that visible to the naked eye. All pollutants are concerning.
But more concerning is the agenda of wanting cake and eating it too. Of using more pollutants to combat existing pollutants or WORSE - of using more pollutants to combat the effects of existing pollutants without having to curtail their use. And further of having no clear idea of how this will affect the atmosphere.
Global dimming, heat retention, drought, wild weather can all, at times, be traced to jet cirrus. When sky grids were not visible, we were not concerned, for instance, about global dimming.
Of course this doesn't address control of the weather as a motive for chemtrails or, if you don't subscribe to chemtrails, as a motive for sky grids. Because there is a motive. Because we know how to get rid of them.
Well...a thread about the trailer for the sequel, not the sequel itself. Or did you forget about that part?

Thankyou for your response. Which was, basically,: persistent contrails just happen and its' too expensive to do anything about them.
The Next Generation Air Transportation System: Status and Issues/Congress Sept. 11, 2008
The United States had a robust, vibrant research program (the Atmospheric Effects of Aviation Program). This program was discontinued around the year 2000.
In 2008, a report on aviation is given to a House committee. In the report it is mentioned that a 'robust' and 'vibrant' program called 'The Atmospheric Effects of Aviation Program' was discontinued in 2000. This is now 2008.
The report mentions a report in 2004 (4 years earlier) which had this to say about aviation condensation trails:
However, when these effects are taken together, most estimates suggest that the impact of aviation on climate is greater per unit of fuel burn than that from surface-based combustion sources.
As we wrote in the 2004 Report to Congress, this is the area of greatest scientific uncertainty for aviation, and the area with the greatest potential for environmental impacts.
The Next Generation Air Transportation System: Status and Issues/Congress Sept. 11, 2008
The JPDO envisions that NextGen will be an evolutionary transformation of the Nation's air transportation system that integrates a combination of new procedures and advances in technology to improve delivery of services to both civil and military users. The goal of NextGen, as stated by the JPDO, is to ``significantly increase the safety, security, capacity, efficiency, and environmental compatibility of air transportation operations, and by doing so, to improve the overall economic well-being of the country.'' The JPDO's role is to establish how the air transportation system should be transformed. Part of this transformation involves integrating and reshaping capabilities across all aspects of air transportation so that the entire system operates as an interconnected structure.
The JPDO sees the investments in NextGen resulting in increased system capacity and flexibility to accommodate growing demand for air transportation services and diversity of flight profiles. In its
planning documents, the JPDO describes building NextGen in three phases, which it characterizes as Epochs.
In Epoch 1 [Foundational Capabilities (2007-2011)], focus will be on developing and implementing mature
foundational technologies and capabilities such as Automatic Dependent Surveillance--Broadcast(ADSB) which is the surveillance and navigation technology that will serve as the core of the NextGen system by delivering more timely and precise information to the cockpit while giving pilots and controllers a common operational picture.
In Epoch 2 [Hybrid System (2012-2018)], the required automation and procedures are implemented to allow pilots a more active role in the system through self-separation,merging, and passing. According to the JPDO, by the completion of Epoch 2, operational improvements and fleet evolution will provide a number of environmental benefits such as increased fuel efficiency at 34 FAA-designated airports within the continental United States. For example, in the terminal airspace operations area, NextGen capabilities and improvements in aircraft engine technologies will, according to the JPDO, produce an overall improvement in fuel efficiency estimated at six percent compared to the baseline. This will have a commensurate positive effect on reducing the level of emissions generated.
The JPDO views Epoch 3 [NextGen Operations (2019-2025)] as the expansion of NextGen into a nationwide system which also allows for more complex, high-density operations across the system to take full advantage of the airspace and the precision provided by satellite-based technologies that will be fully deployed by then.

So that should address for you the idea that contrails don't or didn't just happen and to show you that a number of semi-conscious states were required for sky grids, not the least of which was - no testing through traditional channels.
Money I'll address another time.
And, btb, it was in the 2000's, coincidental with the end of the 'robust' 'Atmospheric Effects of Aviation Program', that sky grids and outrageously persistent contrails really began to ramp up.

But to fly a large transport at an altitude where contrails do not form means flying in denser air lower down, therefore more thrust is need, this is achieved by burning more fuel.
Such as? What are these additional pollutants and what is their function?
Thankyou for putting up "What in the World Are They Spraying?". It's a must watch as a beginning to understanding what has been done to our skies and our atmosphere.
