Do you believe that Chem trails are the result of the government controlling our weather?

On of the more tame conspiracy therorys my dh states as fact!!

When we were younger apparently there were no trails behind planes. I’m not sure tbh.

What do you believe?

They are controlling the weather for profit

I guess it makes sense that the umbrella industry controls everything - they make it rain to sell loads of umbrellas...

Then, when they reach market saturation point with umbrella sales, they cause a hurricane to break everyone's umbrellas...

Then they make it rain again to sell more umbrellas...

Jesus. Do you actually have sex with this imbecile?

BoomTish · 08/10/2018 22:19

I can’t believe Big Umbrella would do that.

ooh op, you married him!

did he always come out with such shite, or is it just recently since the chemtrails got to him??

CocoDeMoll · 08/10/2018 22:21

A lot of his family all state this sort of thing as fact. It’s ingrained.

What an idiot, how do you put up with such stupid views?

TheFlame · 08/10/2018 22:21

I'm always surprised when people generally believe that our govenment (of whichever party) is competant enough to both pull this off and cover it up.

ErrolTheDragon · 08/10/2018 22:21

I don't doubt that he saw fewer contrails when he was young .... because there were fewer planes flying around then.

Velvetbee · 08/10/2018 22:22

Don’t be ridiculous!
I’m 50, my dad worked in aircraft engineering and I spent my childhood gazing up at planes and their trails while dad explained engines and flight.
There were definitely con trails in the early 70s.

DickensianHysteric · 08/10/2018 22:24

Do you go through a lot of tin foil in your house, OP? Wink

mumsastudent · 08/10/2018 22:24

(slightly off subject) remember watching a (very bad) medieval nights & castle film & they rode up to the castle & the camera panned upward & you could see this jet trail over the castle - hilarious! It was a 1950's film so they had jet trails then (Obviously not 1050! :) )

This is almost as good as the government deliberately giving children autism via vaccines to make them easier to control. I'm sure the person spouting it has no contact with any people with autism as I and the others I know are the most stubborn, uncontrollable people ever.

Ex of my dm believes in aliens. Apparently when tragedies happen with multiple deaths, that's because the alien overlords have asked for humans and the government fakes an accident and hands the people over.

Onlyhappywhenitrains1 · 08/10/2018 22:24

It's got no relation to chemtrails but the weather can be controlled.

^Weather modification is the act of intentionally manipulating or altering the weather. The most common form of weather modification is cloud seeding, which increases rain or snow, usually for the purpose of increasing the local water supply.^

I thought the chemtrails theory was they're poisoning us for big pharma or to bring the population down.

53rdWay · 08/10/2018 22:25

What are they controlling the weather to do exactly? They’ve gone to all the trouble of secret weather-controlling sky technology and somewhere in a bunker there’s a government overlord saying “make it drizzly with a bit of a breeze”?

AnnieAnoniMouse · 08/10/2018 22:32

Where do you start with that?

He thinks our politicians control the weather...🤣

Has he ever been out of the UK? Does he think every single country in the world is united in this?

Fuck me, how the actual hell did you come to marry this plank?

OhYouBadBadKitten · 08/10/2018 22:35

That's not quite right Midge. They can under certain conditions persist and form cirrus cloud. That can block heat from radiating from the earth which probably has its greatest impact at night because cirrus clouds are strong blockers of IR but have some reflecting impact of visible light, so can reduce the amount of sunlight reaching the earth in the first place.

Bluelonerose · 08/10/2018 22:37

So why decide for the UK to have shitty summers normally?

notangelinajolie · 08/10/2018 22:42

Don't know how old your DH is but they definitely had them in the 70's. Me and my dad used to watch them Smile

How can you be with someone so dense?

ChilliPowderMild · 08/10/2018 22:45

How old is your DH?
Maybe when he was little there were no chem trails....because there were no aeroplanes?
I fear you have unwittingly married an old gimmer. Check his drawers for hose and fancy frilly collar things.

LEMtheoriginal · 08/10/2018 22:46

"Nonsense to the power of bullshit" im definitely going to steal this quote.

And i have distinct memories at looking at "con trails" of airplanes when i was a child and imagining dogs skiing on them Blush i was about 7.

Im 48 now!

PickAChew · 08/10/2018 22:48

I used to sit for hours, watching chemtrails when I was a daydreamy littlun. That was a long time ago.

Face it, the government can't even keep control amongst themselves.

BlaaBlaaBlaa · 08/10/2018 22:51

Sorry, could not be married to an anti-vaxxer.
That's serious levels of stupid and I'd have zero respect for him.

Furx · 08/10/2018 22:52

That project manager quote is so fucking true.
