Nice strawman. I can't explain how planes can lay down a smoke screen that persists either or how the fire retardant works and probably quite a lot of things that happen in our world, but I know this pic I took a few days ago isn't of "contrails".

If I were a chemist I could probably do that for you. I also can't explain how the oil dispersion chemical works, if that's also important to you.
So, you have no idea how it happens. And you have no idea how a contrail can behave exactly as a "chemtrail" supposedly does.
You can't explain much then. Got it.
What is a contrail and how does it form?
To answer this question, lets first identify what a contrail is. A contrail is the condensation trail that is left behind by a passing jet plane. Contrails form when hot humid air from jet exhaust mixes with environmental air of low vapor pressure and low temperature. Vapor pressure is just a fancy term for the amount of pressure that is exerted by water vapor itself (as opposed to atmospheric, or barometric, pressure which is due to the weight of the entire atmosphere above you). The mixing occurs directly behind the plane due to the turbulence generated by the engine. If condensation (conversion from a gas to a liquid) occurs, then a contrail becomes visible. Since air temperatures at these high atmospheric levels are very cold (generally colder than -40 F), only a small amount of liquid is necessary for condensation to occur. Water is a normal byproduct of combustion in engines.

categorically denying chemtrails is just as ignorant as seeing them in every white line across the sky.
I think there may be possible applications for high altitude chemtrailing the average person researching this topic isn't aware of.
if we want to believe in chemtrails, we'll find a reason to.
or not to, whichever the case may be for the individual. Personally, I'll keep an open mind on this topic. I do think there's more to learn about this than we know at present.
Just my 2 cents, but this would have been a good OP if you had left out the condescending attitude in a few places. imho.

OP: Have you dedicated your life to prove that "chemtrails" are actually "lingering persistent contrails" or is that what you do for a living?
Let it go, man. LET IT GO! You and the other 4 or 5 members that do the same thing. How many topics, of the same drivel, do you need to make, to continue proving yourselves WRONG????

I notice you didn't answer the poster who asked you earlier, so I'm going to ask again.
How do you know that?
Means and methods. Do you know what that terminology means? The OP used a fire retardant dump and you used the spraying of oil dispersion chemicals to make a false argument.
The DWH plane didn't spray fire retardant on the oil spill just as the plane addressing the fire didn't dump oil dispersion chemicals over the fire.
Chemtrails are designed to be sprayed at altitude and obviously have a different structural as well as chemical composition to meet the intended purpose, just as aerial smoke screens are different from fire retardant and oil dispersion chemicals.
Nice fallacious argument you and the OP attempted though.
You can then call the airlines and ask them to explain themselves.
You obviously have no clue what means and methods refers to or you wouldn't have said your post and the OP represented the same thing.
The fire retardant and the chemical used to disperse the oil slick are obviously different chemicals with different properties and require different means of addressing a need. The same goes for chemtrails. Certainly they are designed to be dispensed at a much higher altitude than the other two and certainly they're designed on a different molecular level so they can remain suspended for a longer period of time.
Their purpose? I cannot say. Maybe it's benevolent. Maybe they're trying to alter the effects of global warming. I never claimed to know their intended purpose, but I've been around the block long enough to recognized something that isn't what it's purported to be.
Have a good night and breath deeply for it's only CO2 they're ejecting from the rear end of those high flying planes.
The main human activity that emits CO2 is the combustion of fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, and oil) for energy and transportation, although certain industrial processes and land-use changes also emit CO2. The main sources of CO2 emissions in the United States are described below.
Electricity. Electricity is a significant source of energy in the United States and is used to power homes, business, and industry. The combustion of fossil fuels to generate electricity is the largest single source of CO2 emissions in the nation, accounting for about 37% of total U.S. CO2 emissions and 31% of total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions in 2013. The type of fossil fuel used to generate electricity will emit different amounts of CO2. To produce a given amount of electricity, burning coal will produce more CO2 than oil or natural gas.
Transportation. The combustion of fossil fuels such as gasoline and diesel to transport people and goods is the second largest source of CO2 emissions, accounting for about 31% of total U.S. CO2 emissions and 26% of total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions in 2013. This category includes transportation sources such as highway vehicles, air travel, marine transportation, and rail.
Industry. Many industrial processes emit CO2 through fossil fuel combustion. Several processes also produce CO2 emissions through chemical reactions that do not involve combustion, for example, the production and consumption of mineral products such as cement, the production of metals such as iron and steel, and the production of chemicals. Fossil fuel combustion from various industrial processes accounted for about 15% of total U.S. CO2 emissions and 12% of total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions in 2013. Note that many industrial processes also use electricity and therefore indirectly cause the emissions from the electricity production.
You don't know or have any proof that any emmissions from any aircraft you see are not chemtrails. You don't know with any certainty they are just mere CO2 emissions. You are going on the same information that the rest of us are. So back at you. You believe everything you're told by authority? The governments have done things without our knowledge or consent and that is indeed irrefutable. Try to deny that. Have a nice day.

Hi, there. I'm glad to see you're still on the thread.
You don't really know that the picture you posted is anything but a contrail, do you?
You've been asked at least four times. How come you haven't answered?
If you're so sure of it, surely the answer is easy?
If chemicals are being sprayed from aircraft and you can identify the spray, shouldn't you be sharing that information with the world? You would be a great hero and benefactor of mankind. Your name would go down beside that of Julian Assange and other famous whistleblowers.
Besides, the sooner and more widely you share your knowledge, the less the danger of being silenced by those who want to keep the 'chemtrail conspiracy' a secret.
If you know, there are compelling reasons to tell what you know. I can't see any reason to hold back.
But you refuse to answer.
You refuse even to acknowledge the question.
To me that says just one thing:
You. Don't. Know.
But you said you did.
What does that make you?
