Which reminds me, has anyone ever come up with even a half-baked theory as to why so-called chemtrails should be visible from the ground, unless they are comprised of ice crystals?
Geoengineering
4.2.4 Thrust Augmentation via Sulfuric Acid Injection
In the case of the present system, a significant quantity of sulfuric acid will be stored on the aircraft and ejected into the atmosphere during flight. This liquid could be injected into the engine to provide additional thrust at high altitudes to combat thrust lapse. As discussed in the previous section elevated sulfur content is detrimental to engine component life, and consequently traditional liquid injection techniques (compressor inlet injection) would not be appropriate for this system.
However, some thrust augmentation may be realizable by injecting the sulfuric acid downstream of the turbine, in a manner similar to a modern afterburner. By this approach, to achieve thrust increases the turbine exhaust gases must be hot enough to vaporize the sulfuric acid.

And would that be visible?
Where are the tankers loading it onto he aircraft? Why aren't there lots of people standing around in hazmat suits??
I'd say "half baked" was a fairly optimistic description - someone saw a word somewhere and decided to use it....but hasn't really put any thought into what it would actually require in real life.
Yes darling. Due to the hygroscopic nature of sulfuric acid. It would attract the moisture in the air and form ice crystals just like your beloved contrails do.

I have plenty of evidence.
"The classic conditions for contrails is just ahead of a warm front," said Rob MacKenzie one of the Lancaster researchers now at the University of Birmingham. "To get really persistent cloudiness due to aircraft you really need to be flying the aircraft through air that is ready to form a cloud, supersaturated."

Ask yourself: why is it so important for there to be increased air traffic? An increase in air traffic is mentioned in almost every article and study about outrageously persistent contrails. There HAS to be an increase in air traffic for this bunk 'science' of outrageously persistent contrails to live another day.
The Air Force goes on to report that contrails are safe, natural, and can result in grid patterns due to wind dispersal.

Air traffic has decreased. Outrageously persistent contrails have increased.
So the wind is creating grid patterns. If you'll believe this, you'll believe anything and deserve to be decieved.
Since it was your suggestion. How about you provide a viable way to accomplish it.
If you choose to ignore every single piece of evidence you have been given for the past two years it's obvious you're not interested in evidence at all. You can keep living in your bubble of denial if it makes you feel better.
What?? Since when has air traffic "decreased" ?? seriously, do you just make things up to try and validate your nonsense?
During a raid in March 1944, the eight hundred RAF bombers carrying out a mission against Nuremberg were flying below 25,000 feet and ordinarily would not have generated contrails. For whatever meteorological reason, aircraft in the raiding formations left a heavy stream of contrails that could easily be seen in the evening’s bright moonlight.
In addition to helping bombers and fighters locate each other, contrails at times impeded bomber operations. An attacking force of a thousand heavy bombers included four thousand powerful engines that were pumping moisture into the upper atmosphere. As a result, large American bomber formations were literally capable of changing the cloud cover along the routes they traversed.
According to Roger A. Freeman, historian of “Mighty” Eighth Air Force, one such attack took place on March 18, 1945, when the Eighth sent 1,328 bombers against Berlin. “The jets took full advantage of the hazy day with contrails at altitude persisting and merged.
As a boy, Roger Freeman experienced first hand the awe-inspiring passage overhead of a massive bomber formation. “Seeing hundreds of aircraft trailing contrails was an extraordinary sight.”
He was especially impressed during a “freezing” morning early in 1945 when at the age of fifteen he saw the “contrails of a thousand bombers forming in the sky at one time.”
Although there were literally more planes than he could count, he knew that the number of bombers forming up had to be about a thousand because he could count twenty-eight groups and knew that each group consisted of thirty to forty bombers.
A German description of a massive raid by more than 1,100 American bombers against Leipzig on July 7, 1944, noted that the German population was warned of the attack as the bomber force approached the Munster-Osnabruck area. According to this report, “it was a beautifully clear day. Dense condensation trails could be seen up in the stratosphere. There was a continuous deep roaring of the bomber formations.”
“Ahead and above us the armada on dress parade let fly vapor trails like royal plumes. Mechanical things when they are grand as plumed fortresses flashing in the morning become endowed with divine invincibility.”

Yeah - seriously. I don't make stuff up.

You don't want someone to explain to you why a grid pattern in the sky is not possible without the addition of chemicals. Unless it's a thousand bombers in tight formation, there aren't enough hygroscopic particles to create anything but a fluke, here for a few minutes and then gone, contrail. Unless there's a front. And even with the thousand bombers, it usually took a front anyway.
