No it's not. Jets were in use by the end of WWII and they left contrails too. Jets are more efficient, but they're not really cleaner burning than earlier ones. They use the same fuel, they're just more efficient at burning it. They leave contrails just like the original jets did, and they can turn into clouds just like a B-17 contrail could and did.

At startup a more modern plane can make just as much smoke. Have you ever seen a picture or video of an L1011 starting engines? When they start the tail engine they left a HUGE smoke cloud. It always suffered a static fuel leak that allowed the fuel to pool in the engine. When the hot exhaust hit it, it left a massive cloud.
There are many engines that leave SOME kind of smoke at startup, you can't compare them at engine start to how they leave a trail in flight.

You are correct however the starter smoke is a good indicator of how dirty the combustion method is..which will produce more CONTRAILS... more. particles equals to more contrails...

The point here is... someone here used an old WW2 plane to prove that those huge "contrails" being observed now are just contrails.
One study looked at over 100 earthquakes with magnitudes of 5.0 or larger in Taiwan over several decades. The researchers found that almost all of the earthquakes down to a depth of about 35km were preceded by distinct electrical disturbances in the ionosphere.
The HAARP program is committed to developing a world class ionospheric research facility consisting of: The Ionospheric Research Instrument (IRI), a high power transmitter facility operating in the High Frequency (HF) range. The IRI will be used to temporarily excite a limited area of the ionosphere for scientific study.
A sophisticated suite of scientific (or diagnostic) instruments that will be used to observe the physical processes that occur in the excited region.
