    There are chemicals in chemtrails.

    Most of what you see in a chemtrail is hydrogen hydroxide. (CAS 7732-18-5)

    Hydrogen Hydroxide is a solvent that will dissolve a great many things, including some rocks. It causes corrosion, especially when mixed with sodium chloride. (CAS 7647-14-5) Gaseous HH will cause disfuguring burns upon skin contact. HH has been found in tumors, and brain worms. It’s used as a coolant in industrial applications. Breathing hydrogen hydroxide can cause death.

    I think if you’re worried about chemtrails, you should avoid all exposure to hydrogen hydroxide for the forseeable future.

    Chem-trails are like space-lasers, they’re so stupid, they wouldn’t even work if they were real.

    If you’ve ever noticed that industrial buildings use tall smoke stacks, you know why. It’s because that smoke dispersed into the atmosphere @ 50m will be diluted to safe(er/ish) levels by the time it reaches ground level.

    Now if you’re trying to release a pathogen or a drug, doing so at 19,000m is the kind of stupid that wears a helmet to watch TV.

        To my understanding, (I’m not a physicist) It’s not so much that they wouldn’t work in space as they’d be severely weakened upon entering our atmosphere. It would be both cheaper and more effective to simply use a conventional explosive than it would be to invent a sci-fi super weapon.

    Did we get the final results on what causes Autism? Shouldn’t he finish that conspiracy theory before moving onto chemtrails, or did he just move on when it turned out that thing he heard on facebook that one time wasn’t really the cause?

    Reminder that “”“chemtrails”“” behind planes in the sky are water condensation trails (also called contrails) which forms due to the air pressure drop over the top of the wing. It is the same phenomenon as the small cloud produced by the pressure drop when quickly opening a can of a carbonated beverage

      Most of it is just engine exhaust, which has a lot of water vapor, mixing into the very cold air.

      What you’re talking about happens as well, but that’s not what you’re seeing in the sky for the most part.

    Once you give up on the principle of evidence-based reasoning, everything is on the table. You can speculate about whatever insane bullshit you want and it doesn’t have to make sense.

    Next he’ll be looking into contamination at that pizzagate contamination.
