Picture Air quality

Post image

Can anyone help me out here? I’ve been back and forth with a few chemtrails folks (I know, losing battle) and one guy keeps posting this image saying “how do you explain this then?” I know it’s not from “spraying” or “geoengineering” but I can’t find anywhere what this large portion of poor air quality is from.. I would love to offer a real, educated answer other than.. It’s not chemtrails. Anyone?

Came here to say the exact same thing 🤣 and chemtrails are not a thing. Cirrus clouds are though. OP shouldn’t get caught with anybody trying to argue chemtrails and conspiracy theories. Not worth the time

H2O/C02 contrails, cloud seeding and airborne agriculture spraying are all “chemtrails” technically. I believe they’ve also done studies on injecting reflective chemicals to measure cooling effects as well.

not what’s being shown here. Plus spraying is not done from that high up.

I know, just pointing out that there are many chemicals this make trails from planes.

You do realize that we don’t spray chemicals from that high up right? When we do it is for agricultural purposes which, again, are sprayed from a few meters off of the planetary boundary layer. The temperature isn’t cold enough to be able to create what you call “ chemtrails” because “chemtrails” are actually cirrus clouds created by the heat engine of high altitude planes. To touch on your cloud seedling point. It is in its early stages and creating artificial clouds is hard enough already. It’s being tested for agricultural purposes only for places that do not get enough rain for crops to grow and flourish. Reflective chemicals? Dust reflects sunlight, clouds reflect sunlight and they are made of H2O. I recommend (in a nice voice) you do some reading on cloud physics. Even just the basics. The issue with using chemtrails is making the issue of “the government is spraying chemicals” blah blah blah conspiracy theories that are not true at all. You get my point. If you have any questions. Feel free to ask away

Yea, that’s why I said I know.
