    Maybe we can weaponise this stupidity for good:

    “Plane chemtrails are a hoax. ICE car chemtrails on the other hand, very real”

      They have been seen ejecting tear gas canisters, so that’s not even a lie.

        I meant ICE == Internal Combustion Engines, but either works.

        For anyone else curious like I was, piston engine airplanes still run leaded fuel, but jet fuel contains no lead.

          New planes are phasing out leaded fuel engines as well, but it’ll be a long time before the existing planes age out.

    Part of the changes in the atmosphere that lead to more contrails from jets are also tied to a warming planet and more warm air aloft.

    Now you really want to tweak the conspiracy theorists and juice their paranoia, tell them about noctilucent clouds.

    Another byproduct of rocket launches of the past 30 years.

    “It is unconscionable that anyone should be allowed to spray known neurotoxins and environmental toxins over our nation’s citizens, their land, food and water supplies,” Delany writes in the memo.

    So that means he’s going to go after Monsanto, right?.. right?

    I was a very small child in the 70s and my grandad who raised me explained contrails. I got it. Did I mention I was a small child? How in the fucking fuck are adults, 50 years later, with all the knowledge in the world on their portable computers, not getting it?!

    We should use this as a test. “Know what jet contrails are and how they work? No? You are too stupid to be breathing my air. Go way.”
