Cirrus clouds
Cirrus CloudsCirrus clouds are composed entirely of ice crystals and occur above ~6 km, covering approximately 30% of the Earth’s surface. Extensive cirrus cloud development has been observed after the formation of persistent contrails. The science on this relationship is still developing, and while cirrus clouds are acknowledged to have a net warming effect, the significance of this effect is still uncertain. The scientific understanding of cloud formation and modification due to air travel is still limited. As the most recent IPCC assessment report notes:
“Because spreading contrails lose their characteristic linear shape, a component of [aviation-induced cloudiness] is indistinguishable from background cirrus” (IPCC, 2007, AR I, section 2.6.3, p 187).
But to me, this quote reeks of uncertainty:

Do you think they just appear out of no where because Mother Nature?
Contrails are composed of frozen water. Like a cirrus cloud.
Yes, I was thinking that the normal use of the word cloud would omit anything that has to do with aircraft exhaust.
I was thinking that a cloud is formed from natural elements. You know, something good for us.

I see what you're saying.
I think that the divide is between people who look at something and simply trust what their eyes and their intuition tell them, and people who look to scientific papers to prove to them what's going on.
This video is about the big picture. It includes the fact (in my opinion) that our system is corrupt, and that's why the scientific papers aren't there to cite.
If you don't do anything else, at least read the Description of the video, and ask yourself if there's anything in there that you might want to consider.
