What should I believe about contrails?

Ok...they're "contrails". You can move on to another "debate" now. The only thing you can "see" are "clouds". BTW...what are clouds? lol

Absence of evidence is not evidence of it's absence; you'd do well to remember that. Sometimes a little critical thinking and intuition goes a long way in the 'absence of evidence'.

Evidence goes a long way to prove something happened.

Even critical thinking needs evidence of proof.

Been doing some research I see.

Perhaps not, but that same "absence of evidence" would be grounds for an acquittal in a US court of law.

What evidence do you have that 2+2=4? There is no evidence! It's what you believe because it's what you were taught. 2+2=4 isn't a "fact".

I know that's probably waaaaaaay to deep for you. Trying to prove 2+2=5 would make a person look "crazy"; doesn't mean they're wrong. Who's to say 2+2 doesn't equal 5?

I can see you haven't done enough. You still think clouds = water droplets. lmfao

Yeah because this is completely not a strawman argument..... Are you being willfully obtuse and purposely misunderstanding my statements? In no way did I infer that they are spreading High Fructose Corn Syrup, or Aspartame, in the sky from airplanes...

Then you need to work on being specific in your posts instead of meandering from the atmosphere to the food chain without being clear in your commentary. I am not the only poster that misinterpreted your comment.

Thinking that he said that aspartame is sprayed off planes shows just how little respect you have for VeritasAequitas's arguments and intellect.

Oh the chemtrail argument...where none of the sides really really know what they are talking about because we clearly have no proof that chemtrails do exist yet we have no proof that they don't.
Not much different than arguing on the existence of God.

I'm on the fence on the subject, the whole conspiracy sounds too big to hide yet I know that we can't trust our governments...I mean, they lied to us in the past and obviously still do...but the absence of evidence isn't evidence...from both sides of the argument.

ATS made me double post, erase please...

Being that my mind reading capabilities are not nearly as efficient as yours I interpreted his comments as clearly as I could given that there was no differentiator that he was referring to something other than the atmosphere.

Why do you have to be so condescending every time you talk to someone on here? Would you be surprised if you talked to people like that in real life and they knocked your teeth out?

How about joining in the discussion as an equal and not trying to make out you're better than everyone else and know things they don't?

What evidence do you need, when it is a known FACT that they're spraying silver iodide, aluminum, barium and various other "chemicals" in the air? Those "chemicals" mix with the "chemicals" in our atmosphere; which cause those trails to "linger".

It's NOT "meteorology". It's CHEMISTRY. Chemistry 1st; Meteorology second.

You can say that 2+2 is a thousand, that still doesn't prove chemtrails exist.

The people posting here are well accustomed to me, as i to them. The only people they're fooling, with these threads, are those looking for real answers. The same characters are posted up in every single chemtrail or contrail thread on ATS, trying to "teach" someone something.

The only thing you're gonna learn from them is meteorology. It's the only "science" they know!

And using that to prove chemtrails are a reality shows how far chemtrail believers will go to try and prove something that has no evidence of their existence.

reply to post by tsurfer2000h
It doesn't prove they don't exist either. It's really unprovable, but facts are out there. FACT 1...they've been using it since the Vietnam war, maybe longer.

If you took the time to learn something of meteorology you wouldn't make such sad comments.

So evidence of corruption is evidence of spraying.

The existence of patents (I'll go further, the existence of ACTUAL dispersal systems) is evidence that a contrail is more than a contrail

And lack of evidence that they wouldn't do it, means that they are doing it.

(Letting go that your own statement about absence of evidence could work both ways there)

If that is your explanation as to why a chemtrail is not a contrail, that you offered, it is one of the weakest, most tenuous bits of rationale I've ever come across.

How does that help you to tell which is which?

Regarding the case for chemtrails, can you answer some of these?

Why do chemtrail websites ask for money and sell cures? It is a well known con trick tactic to scare people into donating and buying crap. What are the donations for? Why no aerial testing in all this time? I think it's cos they know it's a con and provable lab results are the LAST thing they want.

Why do the make false statements about contrail behaviour (ie short duration, don't spread etc) that are outright lies? If this is a real threat, why is it vital that people don't understand contrail behaviour accurately, that stinks of fish by itself.

Why do WITWATS 1 and 2 use deeply flawed or misreported figures, testing sludge from the ground and claiming it is 'water' etc etc. again, if it's real why do they have to twist what they have done? People talk about govt dishonesty, well, unlike you, theirs bothers me too.

Why so many misrepresented pictures of what look exactly like normal contrails, aircraft test prototypes etc etc. same again, if it's real, why use lies to promote it? Doesn't that risk it looking like a hoax?

It astonishes me how many people rave about government lies etc but happily gobble up every piece of crap that infowars/geoengineering watch/ etc etc shovel towards them. It's as if they think that because the government lies, nobody else does. Well, how dumb is that?

But hey, you believe in chemtrails because it 'might' be true, not because anything actually shows there's anything in it.

No, there's a huge difference! The reality of contrails is based on physical evidence. When it comes to "Chemtrails" the argument is based on, ONLY, speculation.

I see your back on the cloud seeding again.

I wasn't sure, but I honestly think you are trolling now.

So to hell with scientific methods, let's just assume that they're chemtrails, because of things like high fructose corn syrup, and other "chemical attacks". Who cares if there's proof or not, it's happening.

And you say *I* suffer from cognitive dissonance?
