Because someone doesn't fall for the chemtrail crap they show their true colors...truly amazing.

Why if there's so much airtraffic in the sky all the time, are there days that have no contrails at all?
Wouldn't all the conditions for forming them still apply?

Look at how many years it took for Volkswagen to get caught on their diesel software scam.
Just saying, that a few insiders can keep the lie going for lots of years.

Ok, I can understand that,but could atmosferic conditions vary that much, that in the same patch of sky at the same moment, some aircraft leave huge trails that stay and some leave none?

I only know of one, and it can be quite deadly.

I really wouldn't know.
To be clear, my thoughts on this is that the whole trail thing is because of geo-engineering the atmosfere,

not some plot to poison humanity. (because there alot more efficient ways of doing that anyway lol)

Please don't say it......Dihydrogen monoxide? I hear it's very deadly.
However, we have not yet undertaken this project. How do I know that? Well, because it would be really super obvious if we had, and I have access to the relevant data. The best natural analogue to stratospheric aerosol injection we have is the 1991 eruption of Mt. Pinatubo, which released many, many tons of sulfate aerosols virtually overnight. The eruption reduced incoming sunlight by 10% and decreased global temperatures by about 0.5 degrees C for two years (that might not seem like much, but spread over the whole planet it’s a huge difference). It also had enormous impacts on the hydrological cycle. In the years after Pinatubo blew, worldwide rainfall dropped to more than three standard deviations below normal, on average. That’s a gigantic decrease: to use an (imperfect) analogy, a difference of three standard deviations in adult male height in the United States is the difference between someone who is five feet and eight inches tall and someone who is six and a half feet tall. It's really hard to miss. The precipitation decreases weren't spread evenly, though: some places actually experienced more rain as a result of the eruption, an effect we'd expect to see mirrored after artificially produced SAI. We have seen nothing like this effect.
Moreover, the suggestion that climate manipulation is being carried out using commercial aircrafts is completely ridiculous from a methodological perspective. In order to implement SAI, you need to inject aerosols into the middle stratosphere (obviously). The target range is somewhere around 90,000-100,000 feet above sea level. That's roughly three times higher than commercial airlines fly under ordinary circumstances, and well beyond twice their maximum possible altitude. We'd also need a lot of aerosols, delivered basically all at once. Pinatubo's eruption released 17,000,000 tons of SO2 into the atmosphere, and that's well below the amount we'd want for a significant climate engineering program. Passenger airlines simply cannot deliver that amount of mass quickly enough. If we were to implement SAI, we'd need to use high altitude blimps to deliver the sulfates, because fixed-wing aircrafts are neither large enough to deliver the amounts needed nor capable of flying at the necessary altitudes effectively--the air is just too thin.
In addition, the flight lanes used by commercial aircraft would make for an inefficient delivery of aerosols (even assuming they could carry enough material and get high enough). Because of prevailing atmospheric conditions in the stratosphere, world-wide coverage of aerosols is only achievable if the aerosols are deployed quite close to the equator, then dispersed via the high-altitude equivalent of trade winds. Deploying the compounds at 30,000 feet and over standard commercial flight paths would have absolutely no effect; the compounds would simply precipitate out in a few hours, and would be too low to effect any meaningful forcing on the climate even during the brief period they'd be in residence in the atmosphere--once sunlights makes its way into the troposphere, most of the impact of the greenhouse effect has already come into play, and the damage has been done.
