Perhaps you don't remember them. Perhaps lots of people don't. But lots of people do. And science and history back up their memories.

Re your photos at 34,000 feet: they're chopped off so we don't really see how far the trails persisted and we don't see how long they persisted. We don't see what was happening with other aircraft at that altitude. We don't know if there was sufficient humidity and we don't know if the craft were flying within a cloud corridor. We don't know if there was a front building. We don't know about exhaust heat nor do we know about fuel content. We have no way of knowing any of these things except by taking someones' word for them because no one was there following and measuring anything. Your photos are lovely and my post is not meant to take anything away from that.

Science tells me that I'm not seeing historical contrails when I look up. Science tells me that I'm seeing something else. History tells me that contrails, in WWII, used to persist for, perhaps, 15 minutes. It's not nice to mess with people's observations and memories. It's like telling someone that they imagined the lipstick on the collar.
Seriously though, they might be messin' with the atmosphere, but they are NOT dousing the planet with deadly chemicals..
And therein lies the problem. As with most of ATS and the world at large, a boring truthful fact is easily swept away for the much grander more exciting fringe theory.
But at some point, you have to use logic and accept that boring is usually correct.

t - your side has never shown that what we see in the sky today is a contrail. In fact, based on the historical attributes of contrails and the conditions necessary for their formation, what we see are definitely not contrails.

I think the only reason that grids are allowed is that money talks, airline costs are lower when aircraft fly at altitudes where contrails form because the aircraft burn less fuel, for example back in the day, Concorde could turn its afterburners off at the altitude and remain supersonic, resulting in a huge fuel saving while less dramatic on standard airliners, the benefit is a real one. Whether or not trails form and persist is of no consequence to the airline bean counters.
