So what are these so called chem-trails?Evidently, these are quite different from common contrails, which is the abbreviation for condensation trail, seen when a jet flying at higher altitudes form ice crystals, and water vapor, in the air, and leave a white trail behind the plane. We have all seen contrails. Nothing suspicious there.
Chem-trails are supposedly an entirely different thing. Evidently, according to conspiracy theorists chem-trails are part of a covert government program to seed the atmosphere with chemicals. Some of these conspiracy nuts actually believe that this activity is carried out by some sort of “shadow government”. I am not sure what a shadow government is,. However, I am pretty sure that the real government wouldn’t care for this very much, and would take some sort of action to stop them.
The problem with conspiracy theory’s like this, is the nut jobs who believe this clap trap can’t even agree on what is actually happening. Some of these people believe that the government, either the legitimate government, or the supposed super secret Shadow Government, are spraying chemicals into the atmosphere, in an attempt to modify the weather, or even modify the effects of climate change. Other more extreme conspiracy theorist’s believe that the government is spraying chemicals to slowly poison people, to bring the world’s population down to sustainable levels.
How can you tell the difference between a regular contrail and a chem-trail?
Evidently, according to these whack-jobs, a regular contrail from a high flying jet dissipates very quickly, and disappears completely, in a very short period of time. A chem-trail, on the other hand, is very persistent, and spreads out, making hazy clouds, and the main give away is they are usually created by more then one plane crisscrossing the sky, so they can get complete coverage.
There seems to be some sort of consensus amongst these wackos that the main ingredients involved in this covert high altitude spraying program includes a combination of aluminum, and barium. Some also believe that this covert operation is also being carried out over European NATO alliance countries as well.

| Contrail or Chem-trail? |
OK, as I am, Tom Dye, The Safety Guy, I am going to destroy this idiotic argument with a purely data driven analysis of the facts. Trust me, you do not have to be a scientist to research the various aspects of half baked conspiracy theory.
Shadow Government Vs. The Elected Government
Some people actually believe in some sort of world wide Shadow Government that is actually the real, world encompassing power, and basically pulls the strings for all major political events. Evidently the elected Governments are actually carrying out the secret agenda of this Shadow Government. Various references to this so called Shadow Government include organizations e.g. – the Trilateral Commission, The Free Masons, The Illuminati, The World Bank, C.I.A., Council of Foreign Relations, and others.
Really? I think we can dispense with this notion right away. Just look at the United States Government as an example. The Democratic and Republican parties can’t even agree on what time it is, so virtually nothing of substance ever gets done. I find it highly unlikely that they could be puppets for some super secret Shadow Government. If there is a Shadow Government, then they certainly suck at advancing their secret agenda, whatever it may be, through Congress.
Are real contrails just a short lived phenomena?
Next let’s look at the notion that contrails are strictly a short lived phenomena. This is true in some instances, and in other instances, contrails may persist for a very long period of time. This is due to atmospheric conditions, jet stream, humidity, altitude, engine wake vortices, and ice supersaturation, in the upper atmosphere. I am not going to go into a long dissertation on atmospheric science. There is a lot of reliable information out there if you care to read up on it. Suffice it to say, that this belief is not grounded in science, but is actually an uninformed belief system. If you want an example of naturally occurring persistent water vapor, here’s, one,…FOG! That’s right, Fog, or how about clouds? think about it. Consider this thought, just because someone believes something to be fact, doe’s not make it so. Just look at the Flat Earth Society, they still exist today, need I say more.
Are crisscrossing contrails, actually chem-trails?
As for the crisscrossing chem-trail patterns, utilizing multiple planes, this also has a simple scientific explanation. If an observer is on the ground, and looks up at what appears to be two or more planes flying in tandem, at high altitude, this is not actually the case at all. There are flight separation rules strictly enforced by the FAA, and air traffic control. Furthermore, this is just an illusion. The two or more planes that appear to be flying tandem are actually separated by several thousand feet in altitude. From the observers point of view, the planes appear to be flying together. This is only because the sky doe’s not provide a reference point for distance or separation. You can easily confirm this by looking at them through a pair of high powered binoculars.
As far as the crisscrossing contrail (or chem-trail) patterns that the conspiracy theory nut jobs find to be highly suspicious.This is the most easy issue to explain. According to the FAA there are approximately 7,000 commercial jets flying across the United States at any given time. This figure doe’s not include; cargo jets, corporate jets, or military flights. Just take a look at the visualization of flight paths over the United States below.
 |
|||
| US Flight Paths |
As you can clearly see by the image above, there are literally thousands of crisscrossing flight paths most everywhere over the United States. In some parts of the country, there may be predominately North-South flight paths, like in the Pacific Northwest. In other areas of the country there are crisscrossing flight paths in every direction. Here’s an interesting statistic, Chicago’s O’hare International Airport, has a large jet taking off, or landing, every 15 seconds. Think about that for a second, a large jetliner, taking off, or landing, every 15 seconds. That’s a s–tload of planes, and that’s at only a single airport. There are a few thousand commercial use, or military airports, operating in the United States. The average altitude of large commercial jetliners is between 27,000 and 37,000 feet. This would make a tremendous amount of crisscrossing contrails, don’t you think?
Physical malady’s from Chem-trails
As for the chem-trail conspiracy believers who report feeling shaky, irritable, nervous, exhibit allergic reactions, etc., etc., when they see these supposed chem-trails being created. I would put forth the proposition that belief is a powerful thing. If you believe someone is spraying some sort of toxic chemicals into the atmosphere then your body and mind respond to it. This is known as the placebo effect. I would be willing to bet that if you took these same people, and isolated from their environment. (Essentially isolate them so they could not see or hear their outside surroundings), they would not exhibit any of these psychosomatic, or sympathetic symptoms, if they were totally unaware of when it was happening.
Do you believe me now?
As you can plainly read, I have put forth a very clear scientific rebuttal regarding these so called fictional chem-trails. Will it make any difference to those nut cases who chose to ignore the facts, and believe in some fantastic conspiracy theory? Of course not. The whole idea of a conspiracy theory is that anyone, including myself, maybe in on it. That is anyone who disagrees with, or provides evidence to the contrary of their particular belief system.
If you look on YouTube, or do a Google search with the keyword; Chem-Trails, you will get thousands of hits including some very slickly produced videos attempting to explain how chem-trails are real, and of course they have the absolute proof that this is some sort of global conspiracy. They don’t offer peer reviewed proof, research, or experiments, to support their position. This just feeds into and reinforces the false belief systems of the gullible believers, and perpetuates this nonsense conspiracy theory.
It is so easy to ignore common sense. It takes hundreds, or thousands of people to fly, build, maintain, repair, or fuel the hundreds of aircraft that are supposedly spraying toxic chemicals upon the people of the world. Are you trying to tell me that not one individual would blow the whistle on this covert operation? Seriously?
Why don’t they send someone up with a jet and take air samples of these so called chem-trails? According to some of these nut jobs, the laboratories refuse to test the samples because they are also in on it. Trust me, I have taken literally hundreds of air, water, and soil samples, as part of my job, and sent them out to be tested. Not once did a laboratory refuse to test them. As a matter of fact you don’t even have to tell the laboratory where you got the sample.
Evidently, the mainstream media doe’s not report these type stories, because they too are in on it. Yeah Right! If you have a great story, especially a great story about a super secret covert action to kill off a large part of the worlds population, a story that you could absolutely prove, they would all be all over it in a second. We wouldn’t hear about anything else for weeks. The mainstream media doe’s not report this story, because it’s not true.
We could also explore other glaring holes in this bizarre conspiracy theory e.g.- the pilots spraying these chemicals are also spraying their family members who may live nearby.
If this was really Geo-engineering on a massive scale, to control, or mitigate, the effects of climate change, it is obviously not working, and is a phenomenal waste of money.
Why would anyone use aluminum, and barium, as a toxin, as it would take forever, and kill indiscriminately.
Certainly various governments, including the United States have experimented on small groups of their citizens in the past, but on a scale this large? seriously? There is no way in hell that you could keep something like this secret.
Always remember the basic premise of Occam’s razor, the centuries old principle of economy, or succinctness. Simply stated says; With two things being equal, the simplest explanation, is usually the correct answer.
It seems to me that vast global Government conspiracies perpetrated by a super secret Shadow Government is an awfully complex and convoluted explanation.
Whoa, For a minute there, I was almost starting to believe my own bulls–t.
I have a confession to make. I really need to get this off my chest, the burden, is just too heavy, the last 25 years of my life, I have kept a terrible secret.
You see, I am actually a high ranking member of the Illuminati, Ministry of Propaganda. My sole purpose along with thousands of bloggers worldwide, as well as just about all of the main stream media, is to provide misinformation, and to distort the facts, anytime anyone gets too close to the real truth. This was one of those cases.
Of course Fox News, is not part of this vast conspiracy, as everyone knows they don’t lie or distort the truth, in any way.
Essentially, my job is to lie, to lie consistently, and lie all the time.
As a matter of fact, I am lying right now.
As always,
I am…

Sarah Palin It Snowed In Alaska In May So There Is No Global Warming
By Tom Dye
On August 2, 2016
In Conspiracy Theories, Politics, Politics and Satire, Sarah Palin, Tales of the Absurd
Sarah Palin: It Snowed In Alaska In May, So There Is No Global Warming! Really? I wasn’t aware that Sarah Palin was now a Scientist.
Oh wait, before I forget, This news commentary and story is a work of satire and thus is protected speech under the first amendment of the United States Constitution.
OK, now that’s out-of-the-way. I don’t normally feel compelled to make that statement, but everyone knows how Sarah Palin loves to give her ignorant hate speeches and bizarre Facebook rants. However, If anyone says anything negative about her she sends out an army of Lawyers in an attempt to stifle any dissenting opinion.
Normally, I just ignore Sarah Palin. I mean seriously, she is like an unruly child who periodically throws a temper tantrum. Every smart parent knows when your child starts throwing a temper tantrum, you either ignore them or send them to their room. In this case Sarah Palin’s comments were so ignorant and so wildly absurd, I felt compelled to answer Sarah Palin directly. After all, I am Tom Dye, the Safety Guy, champion of all things absurd.
Dear Sarah Palin,
Evidently, over this past weekend you noticed that there was a late May snowstorm in Alaska. So being the half-wit that you are, you automatically made a giant intellectual leap (or actually it was just a little hop) and instantly determined that since there was a late snow storm in May, then obviously there is no such thing as global warming. You have a fairly long history of making absurd statements about climate change. As a matter of fact, this time you even went on to say; “Global warming my gluteus maximus”.
Sarah Palin
So Sarah, since you obviously don’t suffer from any of the ravages of intelligence, you now fancy yourself to be a qualified, Climate Scientist? Oh wait, I know you have trouble with big words so Let me spell that for you Sarah, that’s S-c-i-e-n-t-i-s-t you know those really smart people who have advanced degrees, superior intellects and come up with new ideas and theories that advance all of mankind.
So, now you’re an expert on climate change, You Betcha! Well, I guess you have to do something to make a living now that FOX Fake NEWS doesn’t want to hear from you anymore either. And, your stupid TV reality show, lasted exactly one season before it was cancelled.
Well, personally I like to get my information from trusted authoritative sources. That being said, let’s just take a look at your record of accomplishments so far shall we?
First of all, you went to like three or four minor universities, so you could just squeak by and get a degree in journalism. This fact is actually astounding to me as your apparent grasp of the English language, both written and spoken is frankly shockingly limited.
During the 2008 election cycle you once famously asked, what’s the difference between a pit-bull and a soccer mom? You smugly answered, it’s lipstick. In you’re case, the real answer is it is in reality, a pit-bull has a better grasp of the English language and exhibits far superior problem solving skills.
Also, Sarah as a failed Governor of Alaska, you only served out half of your four-year term and resigned because it was “too stressful”. Really? Did you even know that Alaska is the most sparsely populated State in the entire nation? That’s right, Alaska ranks, 50th out of 50 states. How f–king stressful could that be?
Next, Sen. John McCain in one of the biggest political blunders in modern history picked you of all people to be his running mate for Vice President of the United States. My God! If you bobble-heads had actually won, this country would have been flushed right down the toilet. Talk about the blind leading the deaf. What, would you have quit that job as well when it got too stressful?
Here’s an interesting fact. I know for certain that when you debated the well-known 35 year Senator from Delaware (Now Vice President) Joseph Biden, you came out on stage and famously asked if you could just call him Joe. Do you remember that? Well the reason you had to do that was because during your debate practice sessions, in which you were already a walking intellectually challenged train wreck, you kept referring to Senator Biden, as Senator O’Biden.
Of course, we can’t forget the famous TV interview with Katie Couric. Remember the one in which Katie Couric asked you which newspapers you read daily. Sarah, Sarah, really? you couldn’t name not even one newspaper, not a single one.
You later appeared on Fox fake News and ranted about “Gotcha” journalism by the lame stream media. Gotcha journalism? Just because they asked you what newspapers you read? For God’s sake, you couldn’t get a more slow pitch softball question then that, except for maybe; What’s your favorite color?
Don’t worry, Sarah you don’t have to answer that, because I really don’t f–king want to know or care what your favorite color is. It’s just an analogy. Simply speaking, it was a simple f–king question. For God’s sake you could have just made up what newspapers you read. Who would ever know anyway?
So, Sarah, now that you’re a Climate Scientist, permit me to educate you on some of your absurd misconceptions, not all of your erroneous statements, that would take way too long and this is not a novel. So, we will confine the discussion to just climate change.
First of all, let me start by saying I am mildly impressed that you even know what a gluteus maximus is, or maybe you don’t, but at least it was spelled right. Thank God, for spell check.
Since you’re one of the very few climate change deniers left, you always seem confused by the terms “weather” and “Climate”. So let’s start with the basics.
Weather – is the state of the atmosphere, to the degree that it is hot or cold, wet or dry, calm or stormy, clear or cloudy. Most weather phenomena occur in the troposphere, just below the stratosphere. Weather generally refers to day-to-day temperature and precipitation activity.
Climate – encompasses the statistics of temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind, precipitation, atmospheric particle count and other meteorological elemental measurements in a given region over long periods.
Sorry, for all the big words Sarah, maybe you can get one of your children to explain them to you.
So, as you can see just because there was a late snow in May in Alaska, it has nothing to do with climate change. Or your incorrect use of the term, “Global Warming”.
One of the major indicators of climate change is the CO2 levels (that’s carbon dioxide) one of the four primary gasses that make up earth’s atmosphere has increased by 35% since the industrial revolution began just over 200 years ago.
That’s a 35% increase in just over 200 years. Now, that’s a pretty sobering statistic. Oh, by the way Sarah, in case you didn’t know the other three primary gasses that make up the majority of Earth’s atmosphere include: Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Argon. Plus there are very small amounts of other gasses as well.
Here’s some other compelling facts to consider:
(Just so you know Sarah, the following facts came from the really smart Scientists at NASA. That’s the acronym for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.)
Sea level rise
Global sea level rose about 17 centimeters (6.7 inches) in the last century. The rate in the last decade, however, is nearly double that of the last century.
Global temperature rise
All three major global surface temperature reconstructions show that Earth has warmed since 1880. Most of this warming has occurred since the 1970s, with the 20 warmest years having occurred since 1981 and with all 10 of the warmest years occurring in the past 12 years. Even though the 2000s witnessed a solar output decline resulting in an unusually deep solar minimum in 2007-2009, surface temperatures continue to increase.
Warming oceans
The oceans have absorbed much of this increased heat, with the top 700 meters (about 2,300 feet) of ocean showing warming of 0.302 degrees Fahrenheit since 1969.
Shrinking ice sheets
The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets have decreased in mass. Data from NASA’s Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment show Greenland lost 150 to 250 cubic kilometers (36 to 60 cubic miles) of ice per year between 2002 and 2006, while Antarctica lost about 152 cubic kilometers (36 cubic miles) of ice between 2002 and 2005.
Declining Arctic sea ice
Both the extent and thickness of Arctic sea ice has declined rapidly over the last several decades.
Glacial retreat
Glaciers are retreating almost everywhere around the world — including in the Alps, Himalayas, Andes, Rockies, Alaska and Africa.
Extreme events
The number of record high temperature events in the United States has been increasing, while the number of record low temperature events has been decreasing, since 1950. The U.S. has also witnessed increasing numbers of intense rainfall events.
Ocean acidification
Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, the acidity of surface ocean waters has increased by about 30 percent. This increase is the result of humans emitting more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and hence more being absorbed into the oceans. The amount of carbon dioxide absorbed by the upper layer of the oceans is increasing by about 2 billion tons per year.
OK, Sarah, I ‘m going to stop now, as I am certain that you won’t understand any of the scientific data anyway, besides having to look up dozens of big words in the dictionary is really, really, time-consuming.
Of course, Sarah, as usual, your timing for your absurd Facebook post could have not been more ill-timed. That following Monday a very rare F-5 Tornado touched down in Morris, Oklahoma.
Morris, OK
Here’s an idea Sarah, maybe you should ask the good people in Morris, OK, what they feel about climate change. Or maybe the good people of Joplin, Mo, New Orleans, LA, NY, York, NY, and New Jersey.
Considering, you say that you can see Russia from your house, why don’t you ask the Russians what they feel about climate change? I am pretty certain you will not get kind of confirmation of your absurd beliefs.
More then likely you will hear something like this: Лучше, чтобы сохранить ваши моли закрыты, и есть люди, подозреваю, что ты дурак, а затем открыть его и люди знали наверняка. Иди в свою комнату, Сара Пэйлин.
Loosely translated this means: It is better to keep your moth shut and have people suspect that you are a fool, then to open it and have people know for sure. Go to your room, Sarah Palin.
Maybe, just maybe, you still have time to redeem yourself and use your rapidly shrinking platform to inform and educate, instead of spewing hate and ignorance.
I sincerely doubt you have it in you, I am always an optimist, so who knows.
Also, in closing, If we were to ever have a televised debate on stage, you may not under any circumstances, just call me “Tom”. Because……..
As always,
I am…
