So, can we agree that "contrails" are very harmful to the environment?
They are pollution - and what's more they are pollution even when you cannot see them!
Well, there you have it. Contrails are full of chemicals, so therefore the USAFA invented term Chemtrails fits
You changed your theory because you were proved wrong and didn't have the spine to admit it.
Now you claim that they are in fact contrails, but... polluting contrails.
So what is it.....Is the USAF dumping chemicals on the unsuspecting with purpose built planes or is it a unfortunate by-product of jet exhaust?

Tell you what. Next time you have to change an engine, and you have to take her down to hipower, suck up some of that exhaust and tell me that is harmless water vapor....Get back to me with your results.

Where have critical thinking skills disappeared?
I read through the whole aircrap.org page.
Did you see the prominent name at "aircrap.org" there? "Will Thomas".
Before throwing your lot in with him, perhaps you should learn a bit more about the man:
The End of a Chemtrail Promoter
The above is from....>drumroll

But the visible part of it in a contrail is water ice - not water vapour - water vapour is invisible.

BUT......when you are standing on the corner of a busy highway, and cars and trucks are whizzing past you, at your same level, do you keel over from all of that exhaust, and fall dead?
(no reason given)
A new study found high levels of car exhaust significantly up the risk a person may suffer heart attack within six hours.

The premise (proven to be invalid) is that so-called "chemtrails" make "us sick".
Your flippant suggestion is vacuous, and you must realize that. Just as breathing directly from the exhaust pipe of your car while the engine is running would be detrimental to your health, and well could make one "sick", so would a big lungful of concentrated jet turbine engine exhaust. Or, the exhaust from a diesel semi-truck. Since kerosene (the major component of jet fuel) and diesel fuel are quite similar in make-up.
A Boeing 747 uses 7840kg of aviation fuel for the take-off, climb and descent portions of the flight and these account for about 250km. For journeys longer than that, the plane will use 10.1kg for each additional kilometre under typical cruising conditions. So to fly from Heathrow to Edinburgh (530km) uses 10,668kg of fuel, which releases a little over 33 tonnes of CO2.
Whereas a Ford Mondeo 1.8 TDCi emits 151g of CO2 per km and covers 650km to reach Edinburgh. That works out to be 98kg for a single passenger, compared to 79kg per person for the Jumbo, assuming it carries its full complement of 416 passengers. But you could drive 336 cars to Edinburgh for the same CO2 as one plane.

The clouds ARE abnormal...

Contrails will typically dissipate quickly. Under some conditions they can persist. But, now, we have chemtrails that not only persist, but make their own unusual "cloud" formations.
Absolutely not normal, and relatively new, and there IS a reason. We should focus on the what, not the if.
- Wakes of War
The German on the ground knows us by the pearly white scarf which every plane flying at high altitude trails behind like a bridal veil. The disturbance created by our meteoric flight crystallizes the watery vapor in the atmosphere. We unwind behind us a cirrus of icicles. If the atmospheric conditions are favorable to the formation of clouds, our wake will thicken bit by bit and become an evening cloud over the countryside.
