ATS linked in Christian Science Monitor story "EPA debunks Chemtrails..."

Article

The web site abovetopsecret.com includes a lively discussion of chemtrails.

I found this part to be an extremely unfortunate example...I mean, why??

Mark Pitcavage, director of investigative research at the Anti-Defamation League, who has studied antigovernment radical groups for many years, points to the case of Jerad and Amanda Miller – the couple who shot and killed two police officers at lunch and a third person in a Las Vegas Wal-Mart before being killed themselves.

“If you examine Jerad Miller’s Facebook page, you will see his references to the New World Order, as well as all the subsidiary conspiracy theories: that the government will declare martial law, that it will or already has set up concentration camps for Americans, that there will be gun confiscation, that the government is poisoning the American people using chemtrails, etc.,” Mr. Pitcavage told the Monitor last summer.

Of course, most believers in chemtrails are not violent criminals nor do they necessarily hold to other government conspiracies. But they do insist that what appears to be simple water vapor from aircraft exhaust, crystallized at high altitude, is something else.

In any case, I just wanted to share the ATS fame!!!!!

My thoughts on this- I do not think you can debunk something simply by saying you are unaware.

“EPA is not aware of any deliberate actions to release chemical or biological agents into the atmosphere,” the agency states, noting that the ice particles in contrails melt and evaporate as they fall to earth, posing no threat to human health.

Amazing that they managed to get climate change into their response.

The EPA does note one potentially harmful effect of contrails: “Contrail cloudiness might contribute to human-induced climate change. Climate change may have important impacts on public health and environmental protection.” That will depend on flight traffic and routes in coming decades as well as other weather changes tied to global warming.

You are correct. Simply stating that you are unaware is not debunking anything. And to be honest, it's impossible to actually "debunk" chemtrails. All you can do it vet the evidence and deal with it on a case by case basis. So far, there are patents for things that may or may not exist (offered as proof of something), pictures of tanks inside planes (offered as proof of spray equipment, but upon investigation proven to be balast testing equipment used in airline testing), pictures of contrails, and discussion about SRM and Geo-eingineering that so far, is in the planning stages.

So when new evidence is presented, there is no doubt it will be given the attention it deserves.

Since this conspiracy is based on nothing factual, it will probably still be in the same stages 20 years from now.

“EPA is not aware of any deliberate actions to release chemical or biological agents into the atmosphere,” the agency states, noting that the ice particles in contrails melt and evaporate as they fall to earth, posing no threat to human health.

Water can only condense on some particulate from jet exhaust. At altitude this quickly freezes and forms the visible trails we see from the ground.

The particles in the exhaust are comprised of the pollutants from burning diesel fuel (jet fuel). There are no catalytic converters up there.

Not only does it block the sun, it rains down everywhere . If jet fans are turning, jet fuel is burning. On the tarmac, landing, taking off, and at altitude.

No mystery about that.

There are many sources of particulates in the atmosphere. Jet exhaust is only one. The wind carries dust particles around the globe constantly.
