Chemtrails

The term 'conspiracy theory' was coined by the CIA to label those who had theories about the Kennedy assassination that ran counter to what was made public. This term was intended to be pejorative and contemptuous, to denigrate those who question the imposed narrative. From Covid to climate change, dissent - nay, even questioning - has been silenced by that dismissive label. Don't buy it! There's too much at stake in the world of today. Where powerful people want to hang on to power and manipulate public opinion, of course there are going to be conspiracies! The question is, how many? And whom do they affect. Please carry on asking questions, about chemtrails, contrails or whatever!

Did it used to be done here, then?

I dont think I have heard of cloud seeding before.
Certainly would not have thought definitely real.

Just looked it up and found this

Well, it is suspected that experiments with cloud seeding were carried out in the UK which was what caused the terrible floods of 1952 in Lynton and Lynmouth

It's all Top Secret.

It sounds like something from a sci fi film.

There is a conspiracy theory that the government gave us a warm 2020 to make lockdown bearable.

Could they do it again this year please? Especially in Scotland!

Contrails are a result of water vapour in engine exhausts condensing out, they are always caused by aircraft, without exception.

After I wrote the posts, I did see a couple of aircraft. With contrails.
Their water vapour lasted for about 5 minutes.
And was about 5 times thinner than what I posted about.
More or less still the same weather conditions at that point I would have thought.

It’s not always easy to tell what winds are doing in the high parts of the atmosphere, but that would affect how long contrails last.

Above 6km if the air is cold enough condensation trails from aircraft engines can turn into cirrus clouds. They will stay in the sky long after the plane has gone.

But should there be a difference of 5 times as wide, between one and the other?

And lasting 5 minutes or 3 hours?

Or 5 or 6 crisscrosses?

As it happens the contrails were higher up in the sky, and the cloud seeding, or whatever it was, much lower down.

That's part of the mystery.

When my daughter checked, sometimes there had been no flights in or out.

I did like your post about what your DD did, checking flights.
Good on her.

On average there are about 50-55 flights per hour leaving Heathrow alone.

Combined with Gatwick and regional airports, the number of all departures and arrivals is huge, and the condensation trails we see are only from a percentage of the number of aircraft in our skies at any one time.

I dont think I had heard of it until Callistemon21 mentioned the word.

If that is what is was, and done here, the area looked no bigger than say 4 square miles.

Pssssst!
I think Callistemon may be "in on it" 🤫

Her husband probably thinks she's down in the shed, sorting out flower seeds.

The reality is, she's in there, hair standing on end, laughing maniacally, manipulating our weather!!

A few years ago I had a taxi driver who told me about the trails in the sky. He thought the government were spraying chemicals to control us. He was quite definite about it. I just can't see this government managing it. (PPE anyone?)

Yes, I've a friend who believes it is to manipulate our moods, and our sense of wellbeing.

I say they have managed that without anything sophisticated.

Just call us "The Glums" these days.

If I could I'd make it stop raining for a couple of weeks MissAdventure!

You're right there, though (can you see me?)

Well, that was Boris, to be fair.

Wouldnt that be lovely?
Two weeks of lovely, mild, sunny days.
