You're kidding, right? I get to soak up the dripping sarcasm from four of you guys and you take offense to the clown shoes bit? I thought it was clever, but I will be more polite heretofore.
I keep repeating myself...talk about insulting.
So, you don't like it when people are rude to you, but it's OK to be unilaterally rude to me?
wrong + wrong = right???
Back on topic...There are many more planes in the sky today than even 20 years ago, and those planes fly in parallel lanes along air routes. some of those air routes cross. Add it all up, and you have a greater number of criss-crossing planes leaving contrails than you had in the past.
Although, even in the past, people saw the artificial clouds produced by persistent spreading contrails to be a potential problem. I grew up near in a rural area in the early 1970s. I remember on the "farm reports" on TV that the farmers were concerned that spreading contrails caused by the ever-increasing number of jet airliners could cause some artificially hazy days -- which was bad for most farmers.
So farmers 40 years ago talked about the clouds caused by contrails.
Here's a picture from 1967 that shows a whole lot of contrails:

No man, I don't like it when my OP is ignored and some smarmy know-it-all tells me what I have or haven't witnessed. Thanks for managing to find the topic and I'm happy for your input but if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.

You haven't read the thread. I have given ample reason to suspect what I've seen aren't contrails.
Evergreen Air's tanker advertises it can modify the weather all by itself.
Since jets leave contrails that can sometimes form cirrus clouds when certain conditions are met, I became alarmed at what appeared to be deliberate spraying in patterns designed to create a sun-blocking haze over the sky.

Anyway, take it up with Evergreen, they're the ones that claim they can modify the weather with the thing.
I gave my reasons for my suspicion, give me your reasons why they're not reasonable. If you don't think Evergreen can modify the weather, sue them for false advertising; but me, I'm taking them at their word.
I have already given reasons why I don't trust the government and I've admitted to needing to keep that in mind when I'm investigating.
That you refuse to examine your own prejudices, as it were, not to mention that you imply that you think aluminum foil trumps structural steel, gives me reason to believe your judgment is impaired.
Please try my exercise in creative thinking. If you wanted to hide a covert weather modification program that used an aerial aerosol. what would your cover story be?

I say they have changed.
I missed the sun, that's a big deal to an Oregonian. We notice such things.
It has been especially noticeable since last spring when the sun returned. First clear summer I've noticed for a few years, and I've been outside most of the summers since 2005. No more haze. It's natural to wonder why.

how are they different from photos skies full of contrails that are well known from before (say) 1990?

Yep - and you've been answered.
It is not natural to invent a world wide conspiracy from "creative thinking" because you choose not to accept an answer that has been known for 50 or more years and is well established with vast scientific credentials.
