and what is the chemical makeup of the lines in your picture?
Are they chemtrails, or are they contrails?
i don't know. but i do know that there are days when this happens on a large scale, as when i took the pic, and other days when it doesn't. do the airlines have 'slow days' ? serious question. if so, that might account for the often massive difference between the amount of trails (chem or con) that i see. if not, then why on some days are there virtually none?edit on 1/3/13 by RoScoLaz because: (no reason given)

Flight traffic stays relatively the same day to day, right? So then, why is it, where i live, they only come around at certain times? They don't come this way, day to day. But, when they do come out, they come out, in force. The come out, plane after plane, after plane, after plane. Steady, throughout the day. They leave loooooooooooooooong trails, as far as the eye can see, in both directions. It's so blatant and in your face, how can it be denied???

I think when you look at flight traffic, it stays relatively the same day to day, but conditions that cause those contrails to be seen and to persist change as often as the weather changes if not more. So some days you will see the sky filled with them, and other days, not so much.
Edit to add:
And thanks for the polite, serious question.edit on 1-3-2013 by network dude because: added information
Let me also ask this...if these "contrails" can produce clouds, how come they weren't flying regularly, in the areas being affected by the drought?
Why would they? I don't know??? Maybe, to block the sun??? Do people think OUTSIDE of the BOX anymore???

Why would they?
Neither contrails or cirrus clouds (which are essentially the same thing) produce precipitation which reaches the ground. Rain and other precipitation comes from lower level clouds.

I am afraid that just isn't true.
Can you provide some sort of proof for your statement?

Invalid? Less flights than 15 years ago? Mind posting a source? Every statistic website I could find shows your statement to be absolutely incorrect, bordering on dishonesty.
Even the FAA says it expects air travel to double over the next 20 years from the current amount.

The whole .gov thing...irks me! It let's me know, you BELIEVE THEM. Yeah, those numbers are kinda like the unemployment rate. Anymore "proof" or "facts"? Please, HUMOR ME!

Seems that would require a few more flights.
Do you want domestic figures too?

Well, i was hoping you'd go a little bit further back, then the 60's or 70's, considering that was around the time of the Vietnam War. And, we ALL KNOW what happened there. Anymore "proof" they don't use "chemtrails" anymore???

You made a statement that you didn't believe there could be proof of persistent contrails in the 60-s and 70's. I asked a very,very specific question that if you were provided that information, would it change your mind? If you are afraid to answer, just say so. It's ok.
It's a WORLDWIDE phenomena, in case you didn't get the memo. Do you think everything revolves around the US? You are QUICK to make assumptions, when you know NOTHING about the person, responding to your willful ignorance. Again, like i said, you can call them whatever fancy name you want, but they're not "normal" and certainly aren't natural.

to be clear, I am living in denial because I don't automatically believe the the pictures of white lines behind planes are chemtrails? Please humor me and tell me why they cannot just be contrails.
Why are you still living in the US? If "they" are really out to get you, shouldn't you do something about it? Like move?
And your facts from 1940's is living in TODAY'S REAL WORLD. I hardly think so. That's why these discussions are "completely pointless". You're still living in YESTERDAY'S technology and Science!

Please don't take this the wrong way, but unless you accept that the real world can and does exist, these discussions will be completely pointless. Fantasy land is a great place to visit, but if you live there, the view can become obscured.
Since you "got it like that", why don't you do it yourself; and post it on ATS. Make sure you videotape it, and post it on youtube. Maybe "myth busters" could team up with you. Who is the burden of proof on? The chemtrailers or the contrailers? Who's the one up in the skies, flying around, blocking the sun and changing the weather patterns; the chemtrailers or the contrailers???

You are correct. Blocking the sun would probably make a drought worse since precipitation usually, but not always, results from convective activity, which occurs when the surface is irradiated by the sun and warms. Moisture laden warm air near the surface is warmed, and since warm air is less dense, it rises and adiabatic cooling causes it to reach the dew point, the water vapor condenses and falls to earth as rain. The air at 35,000 feet is so cold it can carry very little moisture. The water vapor that causes contrails is carried aloft as jet fuel (dudocane) and results from the combustion of this hydrocarbon in an oxygen environment. The chemical reaction is:C26H12+O2+N2->CO2+H20+NOx. Sulfur impurities in jet fuel also result in emissions of various sulfur oxides which can combine with H2 to make H2SO4, or sulfuric acid - acid rain.
One other chemical fact to consider is that aluminum is a very bright silver. Contrails are a bright white.
And I have an offer which should be irresistable for any true believer in chemtrails. My company has a Learjet 25D which is certified to 51,000 feet. For $3,000 we can use it to go up and actually capture a piece of trail. (Yes I said "trail.") My lab (I am a forensic scientist) can then do a qualitative analysis and see what is actually there. I have the use of a quality GC/MS machine which can without any doubt resolve the question. Just send me a private message if you are a Chemmie who is willing to put his money where his (or her) speculation is.
