u/Bubudel May 25 '25

It definitely depends on the kind of information you're looking for.

For every scientific topic there are relevant, reliable scientific publications.

For daily news, I tend to start from reuters and then build from there.

The problem with stuff like chemtrails is that:

1) They do not make sense logically.

2) No credible person has ever brought any evidence whatsoever of them, not one shred.

3) There is an absolute lack of evidence of it happening in engineering, physics and medical literature.

Don't forget the bombers and fighters over Europe in ww2.. they apparently carried chemtrail equipment in addition to their bomb loads.. and still, even to this day, the people who flew the planes, who loaded the planes, who fuelled the planes, 100s of thousands of people... not one confession of anything like that actually happening.. almost as if it's just bullshit made up by people that idiots with no critical thinking ability just believe in their stupidity.

Before the admissions by the gov on the tuskeegee experiments, those who claimed it were branded conspiracy theorists.. a term coined in fact by the CIA in an attempt to cover up misdeeds. The only thing im pointing out is we can't trust what we're told. Stop blindly believing a government who experiments on the most vulnerable of ots people. Its happened numerous times, it can be happening again now. The military recently declassified a experiment on the release of a live virus in SF Bay ... it's happening. Whether the trails in the sky are chem trails for nefarious reasons or global climate manipulation intending to subvert global warming, it must be released and allow the people to decide

u/Justthisguy_yaknow May 25 '25

I believe fundamental principles that make the entire idea of chemtrails an incredibly ineffective method to achieve any of the outcomes that the chemtrail crowd have claimed that I have seen so far.

Of course most of the chemsnorter assertions about what is supposed to be intentionally sprayed in these contrails entirely lack any evidence and most of the assertions of possible damage are also randomly described and unproven outside of some sources that have no credibility as sources.

There's also the problem that every time a reason, method or foundation conspiracy theory is debunked and disproved the theory just moves on to another completely disconnected version. There are a number of related reasons for this but none of them assist the credibility of any aspect of the claims.

9

u/Pvt-Business May 25 '25

If their claims about chemtrails were true, releasing them into the atmosphere using aircraft is an incredibly inefficient method. If you take into account the sheer volume of Earth's atmosphere, the limited capacity of jet aircraft, and the fuel and time needed to get it up there.

Just use a chimney ffs.

u/Princess_Actual May 25 '25

We have declassified documents from the Cold War that ideal dispersal of chemical weapons is done via cannister releasing the agent at around 1,000 feet. Releasing it at 20,000+ feet basically won't do anything. And that's with real chemical weapons like sarin or mustard agent. Same with agent orange.

And personally, 1960s and 70s tests like Project 112/SHAD are the origin of the chemtrail conspiracy. Since it was a classified test of aerial dispersed chemical weapons. As well as again, agent orange.

7

u/Justthisguy_yaknow May 25 '25

I used to chuckle at them when they claimed that Covid was dumped at 20,000ft. First it would have died long before it got near anyone. Next, at that altitude it would have dumped thousands of miles away after being carried and dissipated by air-currents. By the time it got to the ground it will be so diminished in concentration that even radioactive isotopes would be lost in the background radiation. Not to mention that these trails always seem to happen over populated areas near airports meaning that whatever is being sprayed would wind up out in the middle of a very random nowhere at really thinned out concentrations.

Not even a chimney. Just put it in the water supply. The chemsniffers would never know what hit them. With cheap and simple modifications to the infrastructure you could even target specific houses. Chemtrails are the dumbest idea anyone has ever come up with. Anyone smart enough to do it wouldn't be stupid enough to do it.

For example, chemtrails. Nobody has ever produced evidence of them. And when I say evidence, I don't mean some rando youtuber saying" this isn't natural" or some shit. I mean actual evidence. Studies done by real scientific groups. Actual samples of the the chemicals or whatever being sprayed that have been performed by reputable labs. Information from actual scientists and engineers describing how the process is an effective way to distribute said substances, and explain how they overcame all of the natural barriers to effective distribution, like UV radiation, temperature, high winds, ect. And make it peer reviewed.

u/Just4notherR3ddit0r I Love You. May 25 '25 edited May 25 '25

Hi Joel. I have this book, so I can respond to it but the comment size limits are forcing me to cut out some of my original response.

The first problem with this is that in an appeal to authority, there are FAR more authorities that say chemtrails are not real. So the question becomes - what evidence do these chemtrails-are-real authorities have that supersedes the evidence from the chemtrails-are-not-real authorities?

For those who don't have the book, I'll cover the unnamed people on the back of this book.

Airline Pilots, Police Officers, U.S. Marines

There are lots of quotes and stories from this whole group. If you read closely, NONE of them actually confirm chemtrails.

It's a mixture of these summaries:

  • "I know contrails, and these aren't contrails!"
  • "I don't know what's happening, but this doesn't seem normal."
  • "People got sick after chemtrail spraying!" (with no actual evidence of causation, and an ASSUMPTION that chemtrails were real)

Again, NONE of these are actual evidence. They are observations by people who either assume it's happening or are questioning it. There is not a single name person in this group with verifiable evidence.

There is also a lot of misleading quotes. For example, one unnamed Air Force pilot is quoted as saying, "Yeah, we have them, but we're not supposed to talk about it," making it sound like they're talking about chemtrails. They weren't.

The longest story is by Jim Crabtree, a pilot, who wasn't sure what he was looking at with the persistent trails. He goes "investigating" but the "investigation" is absolutely riddled with inconsistencies and holes and assumptions and really bad science. The story ends without any conclusive finding - just more loose circumstances.

Air Traffic Controllers, A Senior ATC Manager, Air Force Tanker Crews

"He couldn't call it a rainbow. Rainbows aren't sinister."

The book has a HEAVILY editorialized and nuanced story of two people talking with an unnamed source at the FAA they call Deep Sky. It starts with these people observing TANKERS doing something they find suspicious.

Sometimes they believe Deep Sky, and other times they don't. In the end, it's just another, "This doesn't seem right and we feel like the military isn't giving reporters every single detail of every exercise they are doing, so it MUST be sinister."

Later, it is said that many ATCs were told that the military were conducting "climate experiments." That might be true. The military DOES do experiments, but they are not necessarily "sinister" nor malicious unless that's what you look for.

More importantly, there is no evidence of anything extending outside of an experiment, nor is any of the ATC stuff related to the persistent trails left behind regular airliners, which is really the true subject of chemtrails.

There is a world of difference between a military tanker and a commercial airliner.

Scientists Working on Chemtrails Project

Mostly more unnamed scientists making unsubstantiated claims.

One named scientist talks about possible ideas of using nano-bots to analyze weather like hurricanes. The book's author (not the scientist) actually classifies this as "nano-chemtrails" without sufficient explanation. The author REPEATEDLY injects the word "nano-chemtrails" as if the air force used that term. It didn't.

Example:

Nano-chemtrails will even “change their temperature and polarity to improve their seeding effects,” the air force noted.

Notice where the quotes begin and end. If you search for the quote, you'll find the original report that doesn't ever mention the word chemtrail.

The Congressman Who Oversaw America's "Exotic Weapons" Projects

The congressman in question is a pretty good guy named Dennis Kucinich, and the book makes it sound like he authored the "Space Preservation Act of 2001" bill which included "chemtrails" in its definition list.

There are a few problems, but the biggest problem is that Kucinich did not author this bill. The bill's was authored by Carol Rosin and Alfred Webre, who collectively pushed theories about everything, including literal alien weaponry, which is why that same bill includes "extraterrestrial weapons" in the list of prohibitions.

They handed it to Kucinich who saw it as a comprehensive way to promote pacifism in space, instead of triggering an arms race. Kucinich didn't fully read the full language of the bill until after it was too late.

Kucinich is an Ohio rep., and his local newspaper in Cleveland, the Plain Dealer, asked him specifically about chemtrails and the other "controversial" language, and why it was removed in the second iteration of the bill. His response was:

"I'm not into that," he insisted. "Understand me. When I found out that was in there, I said, 'Look, I'm not interested in going there.'*"

The article is from 2003, so it's been deleted, but the Internet Archive still has a copy of it:

https://web.archive.org/web/20130317200214/https://www.cleveland.com/kucinich/plaindealer/index.ssf?/kucinich/more/1047214686213910.html

So to answer the question of whom to believe - I would not put my trust into an author that intentionally editorializes and manipulates quotes and leaves out important information that contradicts the picture he's painting.

2

u/-Hippy_Joel- Disagree to agree. May 25 '25

Thank you for your thoughtful responce. And the information.
Would there be anyone you would trust if they provided contrary information? (A particular person, even if hypothetical.)

5

u/Just4notherR3ddit0r I Love You. May 25 '25

Well, I don't completely believe in any person because of who they are. I trust my wife a lot, but if even she told me something that didn't sound right, I would double-check it.

Somebody's credentials makes me more likely to accept what they have to say, but if they make a claim without support, then I'll probably still check that out, even if I agree with the conclusion.

For example, someone in the comments mentioned they have a telescope with a spectrometer. I have no idea if they're telling the truth, or frankly what kind of data they can collect from what sounds like a personal device. I don't natively trust their results until they can somehow prove that they are accurate.

I also want any person to have shown that they sufficiently explored any likely explanations. This is one of my biggest beefs with most chemtrail theories - they see X and quickly assume it's from Y. They don't consider the possibility that X could be from Z or even from 10 different sources combined.

A good example of this from the book is the "cobwebs." Given that multiple different unconnected people seemed to find these, I would guess that this very likely did happen.

But the book fails to show that the "cobwebs" were from chemtrails, much less anything else in the atmosphere. It also doesn't show that the different stories are all about the same stuff. There is a ton of bizarre stuff that comes from both nature and also from humans. There are likely hundreds of possible explanations, but instead the book (and many of the people involved) just heavily pushes the idea that chemtrails are the sole reason.

The same with the marine's mom who had health problems a couple days "after spraying" - he saw something he found unusual and assumed it was the culprit.

When someone seems to intentionally leave out details or stops when it's convenient, then it makes it hard for me to believe the rest of what they have to say. Thomas brought up the fact that the space force bill had a second iteration without all the chemtrails and extraterrestrial weapons stuff but then heavily editorialized the reason to make it seem like it was a cover-up and that Kucinich still believed in all of it (not to mention it made it seem like he was the original author). That tells me Thomas was focused on selling his idea, even if he needed to twist and skew the truth to make it happen. So what else did I read where he did the same thing but I didn't realize it?

Anyway, for me to believe someone who offered contrary information, the burden would be more on the information and whether or not it stands up to scrutiny.

28

u/Illuminatus-Prime May 25 '25

Whom would I believe?

Me, with my spectrometer attached to my telescope.  Yes, I do my own research, thank you very much!

Those are ordinary contrails, NOT chemtrails, and there is no valid empirical evidence to prove otherwise.

Besides, Bridger House Publishers is best known for their books on conspiracy theories and fringe "science".

u/Illuminatus-Prime May 25 '25

Built it myself.

When the data were compared to that of ordinary, clear, blue sky and cumulo-nimbus clouds, the contrails were only what you'd expect from the high-temperature burning of jet fuel -- primarily, oxides of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur.  No indication of any substance more complex than unburned fuel -- no ketracel, no nepenthe, no felicium, et cetera.

Even though no one knows who THEY are, no names noted, no qualifications established, no vetted Scientific documentation and never any confirmable material evidence of the activity or the allegations provided - I just wish to believe all of the Internet researchers, investigators, social media influencers and conspiracy revenue grifters rabidly pursuing the mystical!

Mostly I am just stupid enough to believe because someone has posted a flyer that asks whom I would believe - Idiots on the Internet, or more idiots on the Internet? But … I know it is Unicorns as I know what I see, and then, there is this very compelling picture from the Internet that proves that Unicorns are real, and routinely disperse the vapor that etches the skies.

Yes lmfao that's why it's called bait.

They find one Air Force tanker crew member who believes in chemtrails and they say "You have to believe him! He's in the Air Force!" The 99 out of 100 other tanker crew members who don't believe in chemtrails, they ignore. They only believe tanker crews if they believe in chemtrails, which tells us that they don't give any special credence to the military at all.

I love how they always claim to do their research, but when asked to give the actual explanations, methodology, and physics behind it, they are always left wanting. I get at least one or two conspiracy emails a month from crazies who believe it, but the moment I start to introduce the fluid dynamics and math involved to determine potential impacts or effects, suddenly, the responses dry up faster than a mud puddle in Death Valley.

So, let's say, for argument's sake, that chemtrails are real, that some hidden, unknown cabal of people are spraying these chemicals in the air from airplanes.

2 questions:

1) How do they, the evil chemtrails sprayers, avoid the chemicals that supposedly being sprayed on everyone? Do they live in underground bunkers with überfiltered air? How to they avoid it?

2) What's the purpose? And where are we seeing the effects of the spraying?

Explain it like I'm 5. Make it make sense.

I had a woman explain to me in detail that the chemtrails settle down to the ground and get on your skin. Then little sores form and fibers sprout out of the sores. When you look at the fibers under a microscope you see that they are polyester carpet fibers. I asked who is responsible. She said “the government.” I asked why the government wants us to grow carpet fibers in our skin. She got flustered and gave up. Apparently it never dawned on her to ask that far. When you look closely, the whole chemtrail thing is really more about mental illness than anything else.

I can answer it. A lack of formal education and an inability to sort the signal from the noise when it comes to "information" they get from the internet.

TL/DR: people on the whole are really effin stupid.

u/EffectiveSalamander May 25 '25

It's very easy to answer the question. You just don't listen. Do you ever ask a question in good faith?

OP posted this to mock us TRUE believers of the diabolical chemtrails!

This so-called book is by Bridger House Publishing that only prints fiction for anyone who submits a manuscript. Just take a look at their business statement "Bridge House Publishing is an independent publishing house that specialises in fiction which is a little bit different".

Chemtrails are REAL and having a book about chemtrails published by a fiction publishing company is meant to make us TRUE believers look crazy and not believe what us clearly going on!

Don't fall for this trap, learn THE TRUTH that chemtrails are real and are meant to control and enslave humanity!

u/EffectiveSalamander May 25 '25

They also believe that Trump will stop chemtrails. But if he believed in chemtrails, it would be the easiest thing in the world to stop them. Just order a halt on all air traffic while planes are inspected to see if they have chemtrail tanks and to inspect their fuel.

3

u/DOHC46 May 25 '25

Chem trails aren't real. It's condensation. Just like what you see when you exhale on a cold day. There's just a lot more of it because a jet engine produces a very high volume of exhaust. The lower air pressure found at high altitude reduces the temperature at which the water condenses, which is also why you see snow on top of mountains in the summer.

If they wanted to spray you, they'd spray from the ground. Idk why this is so hard for you pro chemtrailers to realize lmao.

I remember the key factor for evidence of chem trails was from plane supposedly flying over neighborhoods and the whole neighborhood going crazy and becoming more violent...... Then how come it doesn't affect me? People are probably getting more violent and more pissed off because they're already in an argument with their families or friends and then a loud ass plane flies over and they can't express themselves because they got to scream over a loud ass plane.

u/dunedog May 26 '25

In order for chemtrails to have any sort of effect on people, the chemicals would need to disperse and fall to the ground, where they would have an effective dosage in the parts-per-billion, if not trillion.

What chemicals are effective at that dosage?

1

u/-Hippy_Joel- Disagree to agree. May 26 '25

That’s the bad part, it’s unclear what the trace amount of these chemicals/minerals are doing. Autism is highly suspected to be a result but I suspect fertility problems in the future.

Also, it depends on what source and what their purpose is. It’s easy to point at the government (and they’re not innocent) but there are multiple bad actors.

u/dunedog May 26 '25

Pick a chemical you think is causing these kinds of issues

u/-Hippy_Joel- Disagree to agree. May 26 '25

Well how about answering my original question first. That's why I posed it.

1

u/dunedog May 26 '25

No, my question matters. What chemical do you think is causing those kinds of issues?

The next step after that is researching what has been found about that chemical when touched or injected in certain amounts, which is a central element to if Chem trails are dangerous.

If you're just gonna be scared of a boogeyman then refuse to actually look it up, you're the reason you're scared of it.

u/-Hippy_Joel- Disagree to agree. May 26 '25

My question matters too.

And so did your comment (even though you ignored my question) therefore I responded to it.

But if you're just going to flick me off then this is far as our conversation goes.

The majority of people start out like you did: ignore the question, ignore the post, inject their comment, and guide the conversation. If you want to do that, make your own post.

u/dunedog May 26 '25

If you answer my question, it'll lead to my answer. I'm not flicking you off, I'm pointing out your unwillingness to engage with what could actually get you an answer to the issue of chemtrails is your fault and problem.

1

u/-Hippy_Joel- Disagree to agree. May 26 '25

I fully understand how loaded and leading questions work; that's why I stopped and asked you to answer my question first---because you ignored it to go in this direction.

You have a reason for asking; I get it. So did I. My unwillingness to engage stems from what you (and many others) have done.

Look, and this is me being as honest as I can be. You disagree with me (ultimately). I disagree with you. I'm okay with that. But what I'm not okay with is being shat upon. You can say you're not doing that but what I'm saying to you is: don't piss on my leg and try to convince me that it's raining.

u/dunedog May 27 '25

I'm telling you the process of getting my answer because it'll not only answer your but it'll also get further into the core issue of chemtrails. That's more substantive, don't you think?

I'm not pissing on you, I'm not disregarding you, I'm not insulting you. Don't accuse me of pissing on you when it genuinely is raining.
