Humid air has a higher dewpoint than dry air.
That way no one can claim it’s above their comprehension.ĭewpoint: The temperature at which condensation (fog/cloud) will occur if air is cooled enough. In each case I will first give some simple analogies to illustrate the reason, then give a deeper scientific explanation. I am now going to take the main arguments that the conspirators use in their claims that the clouds we see can not be simple contrails, and will give a scientific explanation of why they are wrong and what is actually happening. The difference with planes is that they operate in conditions very different to these other vehicles. That is basic Junior Cert chemistry and something that cannot be denied.
Different fuels contain different additives and produce different levels of these by-products, but they all produce CO 2 and water vapour. This applies to planes as it does to trains, cars, trucks, buses, motorbikes, lawnmowers, boilers, etc. As fuel (petrol, diesel, avgas, Jet-A1, kerosene, natural gas, etc.) is a hydrocarbon, burning it produces carbon dioxide (CO 2) and water vapour (H 2O), along with other materials, such as nitrogen oxides, sulphates, hydrocarbons, soot, metal particles, etc. Has anyone ever seen a refueling truck loading anything other than fuel into the tanks as you board a plane? Have you ever spotted nozzles on the wings spraying these chemicals as you look out the window as you fly along? Do you think the airlines are in on this and agree to carry the extra weight of these substances? No, I didn’t think so.Īnyway, what are contrails (CONdensation-TRAILS)? They are plumes of ice-crystals formed by the condensation and freezing of water vapour in the exhaust-gases of an aircraft flying at high altitudes and under the right conditions. To claim that these planes are not just innocent airliners but are being used for dumping harmful chemicals requires specific proof. Using such sites as it is so easy to check at any minute of the day what planes are flying overhead, generating the contrails we are seeing. What I AM denying is the claim that the trails we see from normal commercial airliners, both with our own eyes and in the photos of our readers, are chemtrails, as is claimed by a certain number of conspirators every time a reader shares a photo with us. In any case, it would be such an inefficient method of poisoning us, as the resulting concentration of chemicals in the air would be the equivalent of only half a teaspoon in 120 Olympic-size swimming pools! (See my calculations at the end of this article). I am actually totally against the whole idea of trying to geoengineer our way out of what is really not a problem, in my opinion. I am not denying that geoengineering, still just a theoretical exercise, could be easy enough to try out, given the right modifications to an appropriate aircraft, or that cloud-seeding experiments have been carried out (but these only consist of silver iodide crystals from burning flares on aircraft wings and not actual dumping of material). The simple fact is that this evidence does not exist, but this does still not deter them from making these claims and denouncing anyone who tries to argue against them.
If others come along and claim that it is something totally new and different then it is actually up to them to provide evidence that proves beyond doubt that the original theory is wrong. Proof has been given time and time again but ok, here it is one more time, using only sound scientific methods and no political mumbo-jumbo.Īctually, it should not be for me or any reasonably-minded person to reprove something that has always been a normal and scientifically-accepted fact of life. When asked to prove their claims, however, their response is invariably either just a video or blog of someone else making the same unsubstantiated claim, or a simple “Well why don’t you prove that they’re NOT chemtrails!”. There are those who claim that the trails we see behind aircraft high in the sky are not the normal condensation of water vapour from the hot exhaust gases but are in fact chemicals that are being deliberately sprayed upon us by government agencies for some dark and sinister reasons.
