So I'm watching this show on chemtrails on the Discovery Channel. I've never paid much attention to the chemtrail conspiracy theory folks, because, well, they all seem fairly to me.
But I'm watching, because that's the channel my tv is on and I can't find my remote. So, apparently, the Big Bad Government is systematically dumping kilotons of chemicals into the upper troposphere. Why? According to one person interviewed, to slow down the onset of "catastrophic climate change" by dumping chemicals into the atmosphere that will reflect sunlight and fend off global warming. Oh my FSM! Those sick, twisted jerks!
Of course, they're a bit short on evidence, because it's hard to collect samples of these chemtrails directly. Probably because the FAA is conspiring to keep them a secret. But, not to worry, one guy collected rain samples on days when there were higher-than-normal numbers of contrails in the sky, had the samples analyzed, and found traces of aluminum. Aha! Proof! Except they never said anything about him collecting control samples, or establishing a baseline. And I'm not quite sure how rain is supposed to wash these chemtrails out of the sky, considering that these jets fly in the stratosphere, above most weather, and the chemicals in these contrails are supposed to remain airborne for months or years.
Like I said, I've never paid much attention to them. Is this really the best they can do? Because I'm sure I could come up with a much better conspiracy, given a little time. :?
