You seem confused, CGI is not something one can live in, it is art, created on a computer.
en.m.wikipedia.org...
Perhaps you are confused. We are living on a planet. What we see, empirically, can very well be CGI inspired and produced, meaning we cannot any longer know what empirical evidence, what is seen, can be judged with validity. I am not confused at all about this. It's quite obvious to me. Perhaps you are the one confused about what this technology really means to all of us?

How about this? We don't insult each other, as there is no need to, since I kinda think we're on the same side. Yes, I know what cirrus clouds are.
I didn't mean to insult you, and if I did, I'm sorry. But the cirrus cloud IS a relevant question, as so few people actually know anything about meteorology, and yet have very specific beliefs that fly in the face of our current understanding of it.
Frankly, I see contrails from jets everyday, all the time, and they don't make much sense, in terms of where a jet would be flying, gaining altitude, traveling horizontally, etc.....
Ok you're going to have a bit more specific here. I see contrails regularly too, but for me it's easy to understand what's happening, and often I can track the plane and see what kind of plane it is, what altitude it's flying at and where it's going and where it came from in flightradar24. You can also check weather conditions on that altitude, and usually the conditions up there and contrail persistence match up.
So exactly what is it that doesn't match up for you?
But I'm not really interested in having this argument about chemtrails or not, for this reason: It seems to me very clear that we are experiencing chemtrails. We have lots and lots of pics in different geographies that don't match commercial jet flight patterns. I'm already a believer and knower. But I think the argument is specious and silly.
Oh my.. that's exactly what I often think the mindset of a true believer is. but here we have it spelled out. Thanks for admitting as much though, as it's very enlightening.
Of course commercial jets leave a contrail. Is it a purposeful "Chemtrail," well we'll never know nor be able to prove such.....
How about the chemtrails caused by cars, ships, industry etc.. are they purposeful? Are they any different from those caused by jets?
But it doesn't take much to believe, as in even if the contrails are spewing fuel byproducts not intended to do damage to the human populous, the flight pattern and fallout from what I've already described probably leaves little doubt.....
What flight pattern and what fallout is that?
yet, I feel it's a useless, baiting argument to make one look like a conspiracy believing, paranoid fool, and so, rarely get involved in it....
regards anyway,
tetra
Well thanks for contributing to the debate here. You leave many questions though, and I too doubt that we can answer them all. But we can maybe look at it point by point, and see if there's anything to it.

That notion seems to be bordering on solopsism, but with a CGI slant.
Interesting discussion, but not the topic here. I hope we can still focus on the central question, even if that means that we have to assume that there's an objective reality 'out there'.
As far as I can see, the basic claim of chemtrail believers is that contrails can't persist, because of reasons. Therefore, any trail that does persist is a chemtrail/geoengineering. Correct me if I'm wrong here
The scientific/meteorological stance is that contrail formation and persistence is to be expected, as contrails are just a form of cirrus cloud, and therefore can persist like any other cirrus cloud.
So let's resolve this for once and for all.
I want to know exactly WHAT is wrong with the current scientific explanation. I've perused the internet to try and find an explanation of WHY contrails allegedly can't persist, but I can't seem to find it. It's being stated as if it's a fact by chemtrail believers, but no explanatio is ever given. So those of you who believe contrails can't persist, please be so kind and explain yourselves.

I find it highly amusing that the "chemtrail believers" have done exactly what I said would happen in my first reply to you.
5 pages and still the same lol.

You know me and what I`m going to say. Contrails are Chemtrails or, if you prefer it this way, Chemtrails are Contrails. So it`s easy to explain the science behind it. The basic claim that you want to further obfuscate comes from misinformation or misunderstanding. Persistent or not is nothing more than whether or not there are the right conditions for such to form.
Thing is though that, after many years of experiments, they know when the conditions are right for persistent contrail to form and make cirrus clouds. So that`s why you will see more air traffic than usual in these conditions. I call it intentional weather manipulation. Simply because they are making clouds that wouldn`t have formed without the help of contrails. So there is an agenda right there.
And that`s just a scientific observation. For now I`ll leave the nanotech conspiracy speculation out of it because we won`t be able to find a common ground.
P.S. Remember, this is my one and only post to this thread becasue I`m done with arguing
Large condensation trails in the sky caused by aircraft could be eliminated by re-routing flight paths, say scientists.
Researchers are concerned about the climate change potential of these wispy, man-made clouds.
But a new study suggests that making changes to existing flight routes could curb their warming impact.
Avoiding a major contrail on a flight to New York from London would only add 22km to the journey, experts say

Except what's in a persistent contrail is not what is supposed to be in a chemtrail...so how can they be the same?
Can you provide a list of what makes up both because according to the experts there is a difference...chemtrail experts that is, as though there is such a thing.
Here is a list that is supposed to be in chemtrails...

Interesting that none of it was found when contrail tests are done...and yes contrails are tested.

As argumentative and belittling as you are, I am half on your side. I do not believe chemtrails are made with sinister chemicals and ladden with viruses and other malicious components, but are just a simple altering of the conditions required to make a persistent contrail. Any chemical which has a relatively similar freezing point form a liquid state as water should be able to exist in a persistent contrail.
Oh, now it is my turn. Which contrails are tested? Can you provide me a list of every contrail tested, and at what altitude? Can you show that the sample of contrail tests is wide enough to statistically cover every flight over the US, and for a significant amount of time?
Forecast models were used to find regions of airspace that would be ideal (i.e. cloud
free with high ice supersaturation) for contrail formation and sampling. Contrails were
20 then formed in a distinctive pattern and sampled by the FAAM BAe-146 research aircraft
both in situ using cloud microphysics probes and remotely using lidar and SWS.
Despite the difficulties involved with performing these types of experiments, contrails
were sampled at various ages from 7 min to over an hour old. The UK Met Office NAME
model was found to be an extremely useful tool for determining contrail location and
Number concentrations were found to be lower than in previous studies where sampling
was done closer to the source aircraft. Size distribution information shows ice
crystals typically ∼10 µm in size (no change at the contrail periphery was noted), with
a shift to larger (100 µm) crystals only observed when RHice was higher, thus illustrating
the impact of environmental supersaturation gradients on contrail development.

Aerial cloud seeding is the process of delivering a seeding agent by aircraft - either at the cloud base or cloud top. Top seeding allows for direct injection of the seeding agent into the supercooled cloud top. Base seeding is the release of the seeding agent in the updraft of a cloud base. weathermodification.com...
Does this help?
