Here is a great example. Contrails are more likely to form with colder temperatures, that is the main factor, though humidity plays an important albeit lesser role.
www.atmos-chem-phys.net...
The formation of persistent contrails occurs when the relative humidity with
respect to ice (RHI) reaches or exceeds 100%.
aero-net.info...
Contrails persist if the ambient humidity is larger than saturation humidity over ice surfaces (relative humidity over ice RHi larger than 100 %). In such ice-supersaturated air masses, the ice particles within the contrails grow by deposition of water vapour molecules from the ambient air. Contrails may persist as long as the ambient air in which the contrail forms stays ice-supersaturated
How do you know which contrail is higher? How do you know what the humidity is at the level of each contrail.
Yet here we have a video, and I have seen this in real life on many days in the skies with my own eyes, where the higher contrail disappears quickly as it should, yet the lower contrails persist for an hour or more, opposite to what you would expect if they were normal contrails.

Who says it's rare for a persistent contrail to form?
How can you tell one is lower and not a smaller plane?
New engines tend to leave contrails, both persistent and non persistent at altitudes where they didn't before.

So what is scary about chemtrails?
I have seen this with my own eyes, the lingering chemtrail that gets lower and lower to the ground and doesn't move very much

I guess you are going to tell me that these are ballast barrels.

Did you read it? Can you point out the "proof" part?
Anyone who doesn't believe it should read this PDF file from the U.S. GOV
Yes, I know that things can be dispersed from aircraft. How is that proof that persistent contrails are "chemtrails".

That a jar left outside in an area next to a toxic waste site for a week got stuff in it? BTW, you'd better take a close look at the units used in the analysis.

No. It's quite different. Snow forms inside cumulus clouds. Contrails are clouds, cirrus clouds. Snow is by definition precipitation. Contrails are not precipitation. Contrails form from the effects of hot exhaust gasses interacting with cold air.
Okay, so contrail formation is not completely dissimilar to the formation of snow, though a little different,
No. Neither will contrails (unless it's really, really cold). But humidity at what altitude?
Will snow form with very cold temperatures and a little humidity?
Not really. And not unless the temperature in the Amazon is -50º.
A chemtrail is the equivalent of seeing snow in the Amazon in winter
