Where have I defended the emissions from planes?
You're just putting words into my mouth now.
I'm just pointing out that cars are just as bad, if not worse for your health, especially in a large city.
It's not really the subject of this thread anyway, it's about establishing a benchmark to compare chemtrails with.
aaaand I switched off after you started on about "The Elite"...sorry.

Again you bring me back to my first point, about the increase of air travel.
Notice this graph
[atsimg]http://files.abovetopsecret.com/images/member/af09a8891995.gif[/atsimg]
You talk about the early 60's where you didnt see many contrails, the corrssponding number of air passnegers per year is around 10 million. The figure as of 2007 is almost 250 million, which is almost 25 times more than those days.
Like I mentioned, the more air travel, the more water vapour injected into a cold envionment, saturating the upper air causing cloud. If contrails evaporated like you claim, then cirrus clouds wouldnt exist.
I would be happy to explain the meteorology behind it if you're interested

So to clarify, are you stating that "contrails" are actually bad for our health, when you say that car emissions are just as bad for our health as airplane emissions, if not worse? Huh? Just as bad for our helath you say???
So not to put words in your mouth...
you did state that airplane emissions contained in the contrails are toxic and bad for our health, but appearantly you don't think the toxic contrails which you clearly stated ar bad for our health should be referred to as chemtrails? Just to clarify.
Also, what is the purpose of the 1996 test as a "benchmark"?
Can you clarify how the 1996 test can prove or disprove the chemtrails?
Do you think that the 1996 test represents a helathy amount of toxins to breath?
Do you believe that there were not what some refer to as "chem"trails in 1996
and therefore these tests could not have come from so called chemtrails?
If you believe there were what some refer to as chemtrails in 1996,
do you believe that these samples were taken from contrails that dissapated quickly, rather than contrails that stretch for many miles and linger for hours and thereby these tests could serve as an example of a normal contrail?
These are points that need to be clarified to prove or diprove contrails in your challenge here.
So far you have not presented a controlled scientific challenge it seems.
Also, you have presented a test that actually provess that contrails consist of toxins.
Interesting points you make.

The spreading of jet contrails into extensive cirrus sheets is a familiar sight. Often, when persistent contrails exist from 25,000 to 40,000 ft, several long contrails increase in number and gradually merge into an almost solid interlaced sheet

Were the conditions not right for cirrus clouds in the sixties?
Hmmm, nope, there were definately cirrus clouds in the sixties.
There just weren't those miles long contrails that hung in the sky for hours...

What a waste of time this thread was.
Yes, for someone who has twice claimed to have provided no information to the conversation.
I have found it to be quite constructive, and have added lots of links in my resource list. I've seen the same tired arguments, and some new ones. Met some people, at least the part of their personality that shows in their thought process involving "chemtrails".
To me it's been a good thread.
"Chemtrails" do not exist, no one can prove they do. Lots of people are convinced they do despite an appalling lack of evidence in their favor. While you might not see the harm in their "believing" fine. I do. I see a population looking to the internet for quick knowledge instead of learning how to think critically and research for themselves when something they know nothing about comes up. I see ignorance like this as harmful to society in general. It spreads unwarranted fear and distrust. This, in turn, spreads beyond the "chemtrail" theory and into other conspiracies.
I have seen other places a call for "disclosure". This is harmful because it causes a waste of our government's (therefore my tax dollars) time and money to answer back and investigate a myth. I live in the US, but I have seen calls from other countries to do the same.
So yes, "chemtrails" are harmful. Not in anyway that can be prosecuted. And the only way to make it stop is to try to inform people.

Seen some of you say you send up balloons. Post your contrail samples. Post your lab findings.
Otherwise, your just a bunch of internet science wanna-bees, promoting government manipulated junk science.

There is no way ATC (which is government controlled) would allow sampling of any government operation in progress. So you see... this thread is pointless.
