Yea, I knew you didn't want to go there. Nice deflection.
Wrong again.Yea, I knew you didn't want to go there. Nice deflection.
You seem pretty sure that chemtrails do not exist. So I was wondering- exactly how sure are you? 80%.... 90%.....100%? And why? How well do you actually understand the physics of contrails and cloud formation and everything else involved in this atmospheric dynamic?
And, hypothetically, what if the government really is spraying chemtrails? For the sake of argument, how would you go about finding out the truth? Would there be a tell-tale sign that you'd expect to be evident? Or, in this hypothetical situation, is there a 100% chance that nobody would ever discover the truth scientifically due to the fact that chemtrail activity is identical to contrail activity?
They could put it in your beer.And if there was a reason to poison us...there are alot easier and way more effective ways of doing it than spraying chemicals at 30,000 ft.
Yes...I am 100% sure that some secret cabal is not spraying harmful chemicals on the general public all over the world. Why? you may ask....there is no reason for it.
A simple air sample using a weather balloon would reveal the conspiracy.
No.But isn't it true that you would automatically discard, marginalize, or otherwise rationalize any information which contradicts your fundamental beliefs?
That's where you fail, you see. Science relies upon verification and corroboration, so the term "independent scientist" sort of doesn't fit.Mainly, isn't it true that you would demonize/criticize any independent scientist who presents such contradictory evidence from his own weather balloon- such as you all tend to do so well here in sciforums?
And here YOU are pre-supposing that these people with "first-hand knowledge" are neither lying, nor mistaken, nor have an agenda.In much the same way that you automatically discard the experiences and testimonies of countless people who have first-hand knowledge of chemtral activity?

How do YOU know these people are reliable? That their "experiences" and "testimonies" are worth anything?
Oh wait!
But isn't it true that you would automatically accept, promote, and otherwise rationalize any information which confirms your fundamental beliefs? Mainly, isn't it true that you would believe/ laud any independent scientist who presents such confirmatory evidence from his own weather balloon- such as you tend to do so well here in sciforums? In much the same way that you automatically accept the "experiences" and "testimonies" of countless people who supposedly have first-hand knowledge of so-called chemtrail activity (and other woo-woo nonsense)?
How about sending the samples to several independent analysis labs?Well who would bother to confirm evidence which is already assumed to be from a quack? No really, think about it...who would bother? Another labeled quack, or a well-respected shill I mean scientist? Probably the quack.
Don't forget you also lie about having evidence.Wrong. I take all testimony with a grain of salt. I neither assume it is right or wrong. The key being that I don't disregard information, only consider it along with all of it's baggage.
Oh yeah, and you also make invalid assumptions about me. Based on... What, exactly? I'm intrigued.You on the other hand only consider information with doesn't contradict your belief system, and only information from official figureheads.
Proposing possibilities (and lies) based on what, exactly? The "experiences" and "testimony" of... who? People you know personally? Or internet cranks that you take at, more or less, face value?No. I have doubts about it all. I am in no way sure about anything- the curse of a true conspiracy theorist. Unlike you, I am only proposing possibilities, not absolutes.
There was no need to ask about it.I'll try to find this paper from the Lawrence Liverpool National Lab(which you all predictably forgot to ask me about)
So we're back to this. As opposed to your earlier comment about the massive availability of "evidence".Again, it's not proof or evidence. But then again, what really is.
That is a subjective opinion, with no supporting evidence. Besides, I never said anything about harmful chemicals, and I agree that food is a much better medium for sickening and dumbing down the population. But what about chemtrails for global dimming/cooling? There's actually a very technical report I recently read(most of it I didn't understand) from the Lawrence Liverpool National Lab which specifically proposed such an idea some years back in order to compensate for global warming due to CO2.

As for chemtrails being for global dimming and cooling, there's no need to keep it secret...so what's the conspiracy?
So why bother mentioning it? More dishonesty.I suspect much more than blah blah blah I am in no way prepared to defend this position though so don't even bother attacking it.
Yep. Evidence. Oh wait. Is it corroborated? Who's the guy that did this survey? What's his background?And here's a more evidence-oriented link:

Oh and of course there's no other possible explanation for barium in the atmosphere, is there?
And you trust this guy because...?In the end it's not about the apparent validity of evidence, it's about who you trust.
Oh you don't trust him. Yet you gave that site as a source.While I don't trust this guy off-hand, I also do not dismiss him right off- that would be stupid. But at what point do you decide to stop blowing off any uncomfortable information, and start to consider some of it?
And again you resort to dishonest tactics.Do you plan on looking into this matter further? Are you curious? Or is your mind already made up on the matter?

Hush! I knew that, I was looking for Matthew's "reasoning" on why this guy's word is any good.Well..there ya go.
