Chemtrails and why I no longer believe in them?

My friend JazzRoc was the person I have to thank for showing me the errors in my thinking when I used to believe in chemtrails three years ago. He knows what he is talking about and can apply true science instead of the pseudoscience that is used by those wishing to promote the belief in chemtrails.

JazzRoc pointed me in the direction of the excellent contrailscience website where everything that is being debated on the subject is covered and explained. There is no evidence for chemtrails and never was but there are millions of persistent contrails being called chemtrails and there is frequent accumulations of cirrus cloud in the skies being said to be what chemtrails have caused.

JazzRoc points out that this stems from ignorance and indeed, I can see that he is right. There is an incorrect belief doing the rounds that contrails do not last. They do! They are known as persistent contrails. This is nothing new either.

Now it is correct that such contrails spread out and form white and hazy skies. Yes, they do do this. It is cirrus cloud formed from the trails left by the jets. It has to go somewhere and it spreads. It is made from billions of ice crystals. It is not aluminum, barium, fungi, silver iodide or any of the other substances and pathogens listed by chemtrail-believers. So it is harmless, though it does spoil the aesthetic beauty of the skies in a big way.

I am including links to JazzRoc's Wordpress site - JazzRoc versus Chemtrails - and to contrailscience. I advise that readers consult them.

Debunking chemtrails doesn't go down well with chemtrail-believers or "chemtrailers" because apart from not even considering any views outside their beliefs they will take action against you as JazzRoc found out when he was banned from YouTube and the David Icke forums.

Due in large part to a film doing the rounds entitled What on Earth Are They Spraying? (to which the answer is nothing), a lot of people have confused cloud seeding with the term chemtrails.

It is very misleading but nevertheless chemtrail-believers are claiming that geoengineering proposals (not ones actually being used) and cloud seeding cause chemtrails. Cloud seeding has been used for very many years. It is a localised system for making rain. It does not create trails of any nature. No contrails and no chemtrails. Just silver iodide used to seed the clouds.

Now it can be argued that having silver iodide up there which must come down at some point is not good for the environment, and fair enough, I would agree, but this is not evidence of chemtrails. It is evidence of silver iodide.

Aluminium/aluminum chaff used by the military has also been called chemtrails. It does not form trails and is neither contrails of chemtrails but is military chaff.

Military chaff is very tiny strips of aluminum and does not leave a contrail or a chamtrail but is dropped from aircraft. You can read all about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaff_(countermeasure)

And finally, now that you have all read this I hope I have made my opinion clear and that no one will send me any more silly videos from YouTube with evidence of chemtrails!

If anyone wishes to refer to me as a chemtrail debunker that is fine with me because I have already called myself that! And my old t-shirt got results because chemtrails have stopped because I have stopped believing they exist!
