Contrails are not water vapor, they are clouds of ice crystals just as cirrus clouds are.
Water Vapor from contrails is just water vapor, so it dissipates.

The thing is contrails linger. They are thick, White and do not move like clouds do.
Another thing is. If the Airplanes are creating contrail "Clouds" why are there pictures of Chemtrails on a clear day that linger? Wouldn't there be other clouds in the air if the weather was perfect enough for an airplane to create a cloud?

high enough for ice crystals to condense out of the air, which is what causes both cirrus clouds and contrails to form.
The relative humid can be high, but because of the low pressure. The air is still very dry.
Air at 50% relative humidity at the surface contains more water vapor than air at 50% relative humidity at 35,000 feet.edit on 3/7/2013 by Phage because: (no reason given)

Just remember, that if they are talking about it, it most likely means they are already doing it.......
Why?
Edward Teller talked about using thermonuclear bombs to dredge harbors. Was that ever done?
Oh, he also talked about SRM geoengineering.
But to be on topic. Do you think that contrails can't last for a long time?

To be fair Phage, it was the Gaul who went off topic in his/hers own thread.

One of the commom memes of the chemtrail hoax is that contrails can only persist for a few seconds or minutes, so anything that lasts longer than some similar time cannot be a contrail and therefore must be a chemtrail.
You see clouds persisting for hours - clouds are water droplets, or if they are cirrus clouds they are ice crystals.
So how is it these clouds can persist for hours but contrails supposedly can not, even though they are made up of the same thing - water??
And yes I know that "clouds" are "natural" and contrails are "artificial" - but nonetheless they are still both only water, so why do you insist they behave differently?

Another question that occurs to me is how come so many of these threads grind to a halt with a direct question to the believers, but there is not one thread ending in an unanswered question to the sceptics?

You would think by now that some of the believers would catch on to the fact that they cannot answer those questions in any sort of factual way that supports their position and have a rethink, or at least study a bit more.
