You have shown no sign of intelligence, in fact the opposite.

So what has cloud seeding have to do with chemtrails?

Still waiting for your answer as to why you think contrails must dissipate in 5/10 minutes....

And he was right with that saying about you! He must have told you that often.

Why do you think contrails should dissipate in 5/10 minutes? Why are you refusing to answer this question?

So why not answer the question then?

Why do you think contrails only last 5/10 minutes?

Yes, commonly know as global warming

Weather modification exists.

Yes. though in it's most common form - cloud seeding (there are other areas, such as fog dispersal that oddly don't get discussed) - there remains doubt as to whether it really works. But for 60+ years folk in the US have been selling the technique. That's free enterprise for you.

The skies when I was a kid were azure blue, they stayed that way all day. You could get up in the morning, see a summer sky, and know that it would stay that way. Planes back then left a short contrail, then it dissipated. Do the skies above us look like that today? I wish they did.

A combination of looking at the past with 'blue' tinted glasses and the fact that there are massively more commercial aircraft flying overhead today compared with 30 or 40 years ago.

If people want to discuss this 'taboo', they should be free to do so, this board is here for that, not from 'know it alls' that try to talk you down for wanting to keep the debate open.

What taboo?

Because someone told them that was the case, and they can't be bothered trying to understand real science

Also because if they didn't then they couldn't believe in chemtrails, and it is more important to believe in chemtrails than it is to know anything factual.

I'm not going to quote;quote;quote the replies. I'm not arguing with how long a contrail can visibly stay in the atmosphere for. Yes, they varied from a few seconds, a few minutes (depending on the atmosphere of course) I'm quite aware of commercial flight also doubling/trebling since the 70's/80's as well. The skies may be heavier in traffic, but these trails aren't just normal jumbo 737 passenger trips to Malaga, Costa Del Sol either. The airport where I live is due South and we have a set flight pattern that's standard over us, so no it's not your normal incoming/outgoing air traffic that we get over here some days. It's heavy, it's irregular, and it's dense. And Taboo as in (shhhh don't mention that word Chemtrail, it doesn't figure in the book of legit words).

Could chemtrails steer a hurricane I believe is the OP question. They can make rain. So why not?
