That's just idiotic, conspiracy theory nonsense. Con trails are just water vapour condensed from jet engine exhaust, nothing more and nothing less, just condensation.

I'm not gonna get into an argument over this. However, I know exactly what water vapour exhaust from a kerosene powered jet engine looks like, having been observing the phenomena since the 1960s. Water vapour is more translucent than this and it dissipates within a few minutes.
Furthermore, scientists and experts have been discussing stratospheric aerosol injection for decades and it's not denied that they're doing it and why they're doing it.
Have you ever looked into it?
I doubt it.
Are you actually interested?
I doubt it.

Then after watching what is actually an interesting and serious documentary by a sensible man, then you can sensibly dispute it rather than throwing your toys out of the pram and crying "conspiracy theory", which is by the way a little predictable and worn out as a refutation of things you might not like or understand.

Well I must admit it did make me look it up

Keep it civil please.

Reminds me of the joke about how come all the people who know how to run the world are driving taxis or cutting hair.

Get-go and backstory! What's wrong with good old beginning and history.

Edit: Why invent words when there are perfectly suitable words in the dictionary and in common use.

It's something done by trendy types.
Then the sheep follow in an effort to appear equally trendy.

The type of detestable people that begin sentences and answers with "So".

The ones that really "lean into" things 🤬

I've got another name for them which I can't type here 🙂

I've got a feeling it contains letters from the word 'coconuts'.

🤣 Spot on! In my last job we did create a word of disdain for idiots which was a combination of two other words - custard 🙂

Get-go and backstory!

In fairness "get-go" is only a few years younger than "hi-fi". (Still don't like it, though.)

The word "guesstimation", started being used by far too many trendy TV type personalities. Maybe I'm old fashioned but I find it slightly irritating and unnecessary.

What if it starts with a double ''So''

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from hell?
Blue skies from pain?
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

All words are invented, and language evolves over time...

So you invented a word despite there being a dictionary full of perfectly suitable words? 😀

 

[Gray]

Quite a few years younger I would suggest!
(I've got Hi-Fi News mags from 1971).

They're the least of the problems amongst that lot 😉

 

[DougK1]

No, just repurposed an existing word. Can be used singular - custard, or plural, as in a bunch of custards.

Mr Waters is certainly detestable! Especially these days.

The first recorded use of "get-go" was in 1962 though it was spelt "git-go" in the 50s and "hi-fi" started to be used in the 40s.
