Earth’s upper atmosphere—below freezing, nearly without oxygen, flooded by UV radiation—is no place to live. But last winter, scientists from the Georgia Institute of Technology discovered that billions of bacteria actually thrive up there. Expecting only a smattering of microorganisms, the researchers flew six miles above Earth’s surface in a NASA jet plane. There, they pumped outside air through a filter to collect particles. Back on the ground, they tallied the organisms, and the count was staggering: 20 percent of what they had assumed to be just dust or other particles was alive. Earth, it seems, is surrounded by a bubble of bacteria.
Scientists don’t yet know what the bacteria are doing up there, but they may be essential to how the atmosphere functions, says Kostas Konstantinidis, an environmental microbiologist on the Georgia Tech team. For example, they could be responsible for recycling nutrients in the atmosphere, like they do on Earth. And similar to other particles, they could influence weather patterns by helping clouds form. However, they also may be transmitting diseases from one side of the globe to the other. The researchers found E. coli in their samples (which they think hurricanes lifted from cities), and they plan to investigate whether plagues are raining down on us. If we can find out more about the role of bacteria in the atmosphere, says Ann Womack, a microbial ecologist at the University of Oregon, scientists could even fight climate change by engineering the bacteria to break down greenhouse gases into other, less harmful compounds.
Yhea. Bacteria above 30,000 feet. With E coli !!!
At temperatures of -18°C (0°F) E. coli begins to die. Storing food at this temperature for a week will reduce the population to about 10 to 30 percent original levels. After two weeks at this temperature, survivability drops to about 1 percent. However, the infection can reassert itself at higher temperatures, and freezing should not be viewed as a method of sterilization.
AHHHH...
could it be that's the reason why the CT denialists are lately "challenging"

What does the OP have to do with chemtrails? You are the first to mention them, but you do say you're insane

In one simple word NO.
You see before someone can challenge something there needs to something to challenge which in the case of chemtrails there is nothing to challenge as there is no evidence of them existing except on the internet, and some peoples mind..
