'Chemtrails' not real, say atmospheric science experts

Given the inherent implausibility of a massive global conspiracy that has such obvious effects but no coherent explanation of... anything... it seems to me that it would be more useful to study why and how people come to believe in these things.

The problem is in people's heads, not the sky.

The numerous cockpit Chemtrail toggle switches are worth stockpiling for when you come across crackpots.

The idea of chemtrails is appealing to so many people because it's a way to express outrage toward the elites or upper echelons in society.

The theories are always a bit vaporous (like the chemtrails themselves), but I think it's stemming from an honest, genuine sense of frustration that one is being cheated or manipulated by a system that doesn't represent them. Chemtrails give a head to this boogeyman.
