"geoengineered stuff" - what exactly is that?
Please enlighten us all...

To those who are saying that the trails are 100% water vapor, at what temperature does water vapor become invisible?
I'm asking this because the trails seem to persist much longer than they should be able if they are only water vapor. The way they spread out does not seem natural if they are composed of 100% water vapor.

Gosh... Those flight patterns for commercial planes are just strange.

You seem to be falling into the usual paranoiac chemtrailer trap of trying to make the discussion about you. If you cannot see my post as anything but a personal attack on you then perhaps you are a tad too precious to try to have a discussion with.
My post was just what it was, the only ways that I (as in ME) could think of, both rationally and irrationally, of facilitating the removal of visible trails. How MY stupid suggestion, for which I clearly accepted all responsibility, might reflect on YOU is a connection entirely of your own making.
I suppose you are a "Debunker"? Whatever your purpose for calling my idea of getting rid of these trails stupid, I really don't care.
I would hope that everyone should hope to be a debunker, as the opposite to a debunker is a liar, if you think about it logically. I prefer to use the term sceptic, because while I am open to ideas of what may be possible or may happen, I've not seen anything yet in favour of chemtrails that wasn't either faked, misrepresented or misunderstood. And you evidently cared just enough to reply
The point of this discussion is to get rid of something left behind by airplanes. It is not a natural occurrence and it does affect people directly such as myself. Call it selfish or naive or stupid all you like, but don't deny their existence or the impact of them because that truly is moronic.
So you tell us then, seeing as you have been making so much noise about it. How do you stop water vapour from freezing at -30 degrees, or how do you get this moisture to sublimate into already saturated air?
THAT is what you are asking to do, and it is a failure to understand that which is, to use your own term, moronic.
It is no good throwing in strawmen either. Nobody says that contrails are 100% water vapour, Nobody is defending trails, nobody denies they exist, and throwing out the accusation that people who disagree with your view are being paid to do so is the saddest sign of desperation and none of them do anything to promote your opinion.
There cannot be one person amongst us that would not welcome clean energy in abundance, but calling for trails to be banned with no knowledge of how or why they are there in the first place (and an open declaration of not caring why either) isn't going to achieve it.edit on 4-1-2012 by waynos because: (no reason given)

They are two different byproducts that are formed by two different processes. The pollutants are a byproduct of burning fossil fuel in any form, and the contrails are a byproduct of condensation from the hot gasses interacting with humid cold air. Two different chemical processes, two different resulting chemicals.
The proper conditions do not exist to make a gas, like carbon monoxide, turn into a liquid and form a new compound with the liquid condensation that is forming the trail.
When you see cars outside in the cold, and they are leaving a vapor trail behind them, do you think that the Carbon Monoxide that is a byproduct of internal combustion stays inside those vapor trails, or blows off and mixes into the atmosphere?
I have experience with exhaust gasses. I have tested plenty with a gas analyzer and there may be water vapor, but you better believe there are a ton of different gasses mixed in it. I am not a meteorologist or a scientist with a lab to test theories, but I think given time the gasses will separate from the jet exhaust and rise or fall. The exhaust gasses are mixed with the air coming out of the engine regardless of the amount of moisture mixed with it. But it was never my intention to debate the exhaust gasses.
Same thing happens here.

They may have trace amounts of soot in them, but apparently not much or it would form rain.
Then why not say that instead of what you said? If you claim to be accurate and intelligent being a debunker then at least be accurate?

I certainly am not, but what are you going to do about it?
I am going to raise awareness and whatever else is in my power to draw attention to the problem and look for solutions, what are YOU going to do?
Do you use electricity?
Yes. I also build my own solar panels so that I can lessen my impact on my environment and eventuall get off the grid altogether.
Drive a car?
Yes. I drive several vehicles and they all have improved exhaust emissions and better fuel mileage (30% more) with my patented hydrogen system installed.
Eat processed foods?
I have a greenhouse and grow a garden as well as an aquaponics system to supply fish for meat. I am not 100% self sufficient yet, but if I needed to be it would not be hard.
These things produce far more greenhouse gasses and pollution then aircraft do.
That's like saying "My son only stabbed that kid unlike that psycho that gunned down his classmates."

They don’t particularly bother me one way, or the other. To me they are simply man made clouds, and cause no permanent harm either way. There are a lot of more seriously harmful things happening to this planets atmosphere right now to be worried about, such as the methane leaks coming from Siberia.
I can't do anything about Siberia, but these trails directly affect ME.

Nope. I wish someone would though.

No. I just see it as a completely silly topic that has been propagated by certain people on others to scare them, or even in some cases to fraudulently make money off them.
As an ATS Staff Member, I will not moderate in threads such as this where I have participated as a member.
I am not trying to make money or scare anyone. I have not placed a link to anything resembling a "Chemmie" website. I just hate chemtrails/sky turds and want them out of my sky. You can have them in your sky since they don't bother you.

So you agree then that "chemtrails" are the same things we've been studying for decades and which - I think - everyone agrees we'd rather not have other than that at present we don't have affordable technology to prevent them.
Question is: do you think we should ban people from flying until we can fly aircraft without contrails ever forming? Or do we just accept them. And lets face it, they do sometimes look quite pretty at sunset ......

I read the chem trial threads because I find them interesting and I am just drawn to them. I am in the MN/SD/ND area (yep, all three) and I RARELY ever see ANY trails from flying machines. I won’t call them chem or con trails. Just trails. In the last week, I have noticed some trails, very high up but long. Two to be exact. I just don’t see “trails” because I don't live under a common flight pattern area. Seriously, if I were to see one a month I would be surprised. The sky is usually clear, blue and beautiful with the exception of occasional normal clouds and cloud covering. This morning, I completed an errand and I noticed three trails all at one time in the sky, it was early, 10ish or so. Odd to have three trails. At 4:30pm, I had another errand to run and I could still see the original trails, but much more spread out, literally covering the sky as I see in many pictures and I thought WTF? So I was wondering, is it a temperature and wind flow issue? I don’t know but I have to wonder what in the world is going on.edit on 5-1-2012 by Gridrebel because:
