Pollution Caused by Contrails
Similar to the automobile exhaust fumes, the aircraft trails, known as contrails, are seen to be causing environmental warming and atmospheric pollution. As per a recent study, global air traffic is presently increasing almost by 3.5 percent per year. Many of these are long-haul extra flights that fly in high-altitude and form contrails. It is estimated that by 2050 these contrails will have greater impact on global warming by forming more CO2 than aircraft engines.

I see we're changing the topic now by focusing on vehicles.
I can also see that none of you will even admit flat out that the CONtrails are disturbing the atmosphere
and dropping lead into our soil and water.
Vehicles are not creating clouds that block out the sun....
....and trap in carbon dioxide
Maybe if CONtrails didn't exist, the fumes from vehicles could escape the lower atmosphere?
Come on. It's OK. You can say it. "Contrails are dangerous to the health of the Earth and living creatures."
Aircraft operating at high altitudes near the tropopause can also release chemicals that interact with greenhouse gases at those altitudes, particularly nitrogen compounds, which interact with ozone, increasing ozone concentrations.
Most light piston aircraft burn avgas, which contain stetra-ethyl lead (TEL), a highly-toxic substance that can cause soil contamination at airports. Some lower-compression piston engines can operate on unleaded mogas, and turbine engines and diesel engines ² neither of which requires lead -- are appearing on some new lighter aircraft.

You're still acting like a jerk and you're being insulting.
THIS is the information I was referring to. I mis-stated in my post. BOTH kinds of aircraft are polluting the environment with or without CONtrails. I'm human and, therefore, able to make mistakes and misspeak on occasion.
Now, you're using that error to ridicule me personally in an attack that violates the T&Cs. I suppose you're above mistakes?
You're just a mean, nasty person and get your rocks off by being a bully. Your inability to debate without throwing insults is demonstrative of a low IQ and that you're also in dire need of some affection of some sort.
Now, I'd bid you good night, but I really don't care what kind of night you have.

I was speaking about ALL aircraft in general harming the environment. Not just CONtrails.

I see you're getting testy as well as nasty and condescending. I'll come back to discuss things when you're in a better mood.

The more debunkers of chemtrails, that appear,
make me more of a believer everyday as I watch.
If chemtrails were false there would not be so many trying prove it is.
Its like a gang attacking a man on the street with a sign that says
The End Is Near.
If the end was not near everyone would walk on by and ignore him.
But if the end is near and needs to be suppressed, then I could understand
the need to get the sign away from the man and off the street to avert panic.
I took pictures with my phone! I'll have them posted when I get to a computer.

it isn't a myth you ingrade, we have seen the documents and they've admitted theyre "testing geoengineering" however we know they've been doing it since the early 2000s at least, possibly since 1996. We've done soil and groundwater tests in hawaii and in the united states and have incredible findings. Watch the documentary "What In The World Are They Spraying?" Also feel free to use startpage or google and search geoengineering or chemtrails and you will find plenty of information to support that it is going on, whether you like it or not. pathetic attempt at debunking a known reality. Me: "The Sky is Blue!" You: "Lol Myth, proof plz?"edit on 2/2/2012 by smarterthanyou because: (no reason given)
