I can’t wait for the Air Force to rip him a new one.

I don’t believe for a moment these trails are anything other than water, but I could get behind reducing their occurrence. Let’s eliminate private jets and see what happens.

What always seems extra weird about the chemtrail guys is how they get all worked up about the aircraft burning Jet A/A-1; but the GA guys sucking down 100LL, nah, they’re cool.

Gawd! They were poisoning us with chemtrails over a hundred years ago!

Pre-WWII Contrails!

And wait! There’s more!

Please, please, please can someone with a plane tracking app get a photo of Trump Force 1 leaving a contrail?

“…America’s most beloved stoner.”

That would be Willie Nelson, not Woody Harrelson.

To bring that batshit conspiracy theory connection full circle, Woody Harrelson’s dad Charles Harrison was a convicted hitman who infamously claimed (without evidence) to be the assassin who really killed RFK Jr.'s uncle.

So in the Trump Kennedy wacky thoughtspace, climate change is a Chinese hoax, but chemtrails are real?

Alt-text: The ‘controlled demolition’ theory was concocted by the government to distract us. ‘9/11 was an inside job’ was an inside job!

The irony is that reducing contrails will actually help fight climate change.

These are people who will tell you one moment that minutely micros amounts of chem trails are deep state mind control, and the next that CO2 levels can’t cause climate change since they are only 0.04% of the air.

However I can say confidently that this is a mission which RJK will both win and also fail at.

Sounds like he needs to move to Tennessee. They recently banned “chemtrails” so he should be perfectly safe there.

Well, obviously, Chem Trails are Homeopathic! And, in fact, if CO2 level drop any lower, we will get runaway greenhouse effects!!!

And sometimes jets dump fuel. It’s rare enough that I’ve never seen it and I’ve lived near 3 airports. But you can find videos of it. It’s a waste but better than everyone burning during an emergency landing.

Actual chemtrails? No. That’s just something some kooks made up (real conspiracy is it was probably made up to sell books).

There are a lot of people in this world that think they possess some secret, insider knowledge. They believe that they know about a conspiracy and have the power to work against it. Those people are better known as dumb asses.

And if you ever have to deal with one in person, they are extremely tedious and quickly become unpleasant when challenged. Wish I could fix RFKjr. But the best I can do is vote to make sure he doesn’t get a cabinet position.

How …? How does that work? Are they just fining any jet that flies over Tennessee airspace? Are they deploying AA countermeasures? Seriously - if they passed a ban, surely they have some sort of enforcement measure, right?

This. One of my acquaintances fell down the RFKjr hole this year. Anti-vax, cellphones cause cancer, the whole nine yards. Denying RFKjr said the things he has been saying for 20 years, etc. He gish-gallops about scientific method and bias, while completely ignoring the lack of rigor in anything he posts. Gets infuriated when I ignore his “evidence” in the form of papers by Joeseph Mercola, etc. As if only big pharma has a bias…

It’s kind of a shame that worm didn’t finish his meal.
