NASA States the Obvious
Contrails or chemtrails — if you ever look up at the sky on a bright and otherwise non-cloudy day, you might see the criss-crossing of jet contrails. Sometimes they form patterns that seem so obviously designed they enter the category of “chemtrails”. That means, to people who study these things, that they were put there for a purpose. The purpose varies, depending on the people or group who are studying them. One (reported) purpose is to fight global warming, and another purpose could be for “population control” (whatever that means) and another purpose to these that I have read about it claims the government is trying to poison us or alter our behavior with chemicals. To what end? I tend to not believe conspiracy theories that have the government always trying to kill us. (If they are trying to kill us, they are doing a terrible job of it.) I just don’t believe the more nefarious reasons for chemtrails. Whoever is spraying these chemicals into the air, if they are actually for a purpose, probably do not have a deadly purpose in mind but may be trying to alleviate global warming a little bit. If they are not doing that, maybe they are spraying for insects, or maybe they are seeding clouds for it to rain. There could be a hundred reasons to see emissions in the sky. The mess in the skies and the clouds being created by this is referred to by many people as “global dimming”, and it’s true that it adds to that, but so does any regular smog or pollution.
Whether chemtrails are done on purpose is another thing that is being debated. I have seen variations of them myself and I think they are usually just plane’s and jet’s contrails that show up more on some days when the atmospheric conditions are just right than on other days. But they are definitely altering the sky’s composition.
Now, NASA has reported that the jet contrails are adding to global warming. They have even released a report about it, and you can download it and read it yourself. NASA says, “Any change in global cloud cover may contribute to long-term changes in Earth’s climate. Contrails, especially persistent contrails, represent a human-caused increase in the Earth’s cloudiness, and are likely to be affecting climate and ultimately our natural resources. “ NASA says that the clouds created by the jet exhaust certainly is a “chemical trail” and is causing, not elimating, global warming (though only adding to it, not reponsible for all of global warming). I could have told them that! This is definitely stating the obvious. You can read NASA’s news release about this here . From the picture on that page, it looks like that could explain the whole “chemtrail” conspiracy theory. It does not look natural, and it looks deliberately made, but it’s just common contrails. Jet travel is very common, so that should not be terribly surprising. And read NASA’s whole report,
I would like to know what they can do about it, and how to stop it. Unfortunately the only way to travel long distances that doesn’t take a long time is flying, and that leads to these incredible pollution levels. Some day soon I sincerely hope they invent a biofuel mix to replace jet fuel. Maybe we’ll be able to travel faster by rail someday on high speed trains than by air, but that won’t get us over the ocean!
Meanwhile, jets will continue to dim the sunlight, and speculation will go on about what exactly people are seeing, and what chemicals are being added to our atmosphere.
