    I mean, yeah, but that's just how things work out in everything.

      In all major US cities since the 1970's that have a river in the downtown area, the percentage concentration of dihydrogen monoxide has been increasing! We keep finding more and more of it in parts per million in our river water. At what point will someone in our government stand up for us and say this is enough?!?

      The problem is that dihydrogen monoxide has thousands of industrial and commercial uses. You'd be shocked at how many product from manufacturing all the way to food processing use the stuff at some point in their process.

        I dont think this is true. My understanding is that its excess jet fuel being jettisoned before landing to reduce weight. Not that thats any better, but its for saftey.

        The only time fuel is dumped by aircraft is during an emergency and either 1) needs to land somewhere unexpected and is far overweight for the runway, or 2) there is a situation where the landing is exceedingly dangerous and there's a need to reduce weight and potential fireball size (e.g. landing gear failures).

              Yeah pretty sure that's not a thing.

                Yep, I understand all that and agree with you. The chemtrail conspiracy people are unhinged.

                I'm just criticizing the statement that fossil-fuel vehicles are only emitting water, when we know for a fact that the combustion products are pollutants.

                Well, I never said it's JUST water. I just said water is the main component that freezes and forms crystals that appear as smoke/clouds in the sky from airplanes because water tends to freeze pretty quickly at -40°C.

                  Only for emergency landings. Airplanes are only fueled for a planned flight plus some reserve for economic reasons (carrying excess fuel means you consume more fuel and that costs airlines money). If you're making a regular planned approach you've already used most of planned fuel and airplane is ready to land as is. For emergency landings soon after takeoff, landing at that time would mean airplane is too heavy and would probably destroy landing gear and damage fuselage/wings on touchdown and you don't want that when you already have other problems. Only then they dump the excess fuel to get to the right landing load (weight). Source: I watch a lot of air crash investigations on TV.

                    I was responding to this part.

                    Because chemtrails are basically just clouds. It's just water vapor from the airplane engines condensing in cold atmosphere at high altitudes. [...] Go out in the winter and breathe with open mouth. You're now breathing out chemtrails.

                    I agree with your reaction to the chemtrail conspiracy crowd who are clueless on science, but this is too oversimplified IMO.

                      I mean, I was just describing the part that most likely creates "chemtrails". We weren't exactly talking exact exhaust composition of airplane engine, just the part that is the cause of "chemtrails" which is most likely just water. Of course there is some uncombusted jet fuel, CO2, water, probably some CO and other substances that are formed during combustion and sent out the exhaust of the engine. But most of those probably don't affect formation of "chemtrails".
