The issue I have with chemtrails is not that they don't exist or couldn't exist it's that every time someone sees a contrail they tend to think CHEMTRAIL .. I think that's bogus for this purpose:
Say that HAARP is evil and out to start earthquakes or alter the weather, it would stand to reason that you would only need chemtrails in the area, or in a path to the area you're wanting to affect .. not everywhere, not every day and not dozens of times per day as most "chemtrailers" allege
It still doesn't strengthen the case that chemtrail supporters usually make.. again I'm not saying they don't exist, I'm just saying that proponents of the phenomena tend to think every trail from a plane is a chemtrail when my stance is that it's not.. the contrail phenomena is well known, well understood and common occurrence and I just think it's bad to feed into the belief that every trail is a chemical trail.. or even to suggest that a significant amount are for that matter.
But to be fair, I also don't buy into the HAARP myth because I've seen no solid evidence and lots of assumptions point several different ways.. I'm open to the possibility, just like I'm open to the possibility that planes may seed the atmosphere with chemicals for HAARP targets ..edit on 14-4-2011 by miniatus because: (no reason given)

I think you are wrong, I think the majority of people realize there is a big difference between chemtrails and contrails and don't through them all in the same basket. I have seen contrails all my life, only twice did i see something so different and strange that I believe it was chemtrails.edit on 14-4-2011 by Char-Lee because: (no reason given)

I'm open to the possibility, just like I'm open to the possibility that planes may seed the atmosphere with chemicals for HAARP targets .. when I say I'm open to the possibility I still need good evidence for it.. but until then when I see a trail in the sky I'm going with contrail because it's just the most likely thing.

I didn't throw them in the same basket, I said most.. not all .. and that's based on my observations of the threads here.. I'm sure there's a large number that realize the difference, but I've not seen those people speaking up .. the ones I see posting threads here, or posting videos on youtube generally are convinced that the majority of the trails they see are chemtrails.. but I don't think every chemtrailer believes that.
Describe those two trails that made you believe they were chemtrails rather than contrails?
Edit: I only ask because I'm curious what compelled you to think they were not just ordinary contrails.. some suggest that because they persist that they are chemtrails when really if they were chemical in nature they would go away faster than a normal contrail, if they were even visible to begin with.. that all depends on the chemical weight and the density of the sprayedit on 14-4-2011 by miniatus because: swapped some words.. oops
