Depends on a few things. The altitude of the plane, the temperature at that altitude, humidity. I've seen them disappear right behind the plane, or last all day. There are no chemtrails. They are vaportrails.

Yes. I think that is what leads to the high concentration of the geighs.

Ok so until you get an explanation, you're just going to assume that it's some giant mind control conspiracy? I don't understand the inner workings of a microwave, but that doesn't mean that until someone breaks it down for me, I'm going to assume that it's just a little elf running on a tiny treadmill.

Very hot engine exhaust combining with very cold air = water formation = contrails

Factors that play into how long these contrails last include temperature, type of aircraft, water content in the air, and high altitude wind speeds.

Same reason that sometimes you can see your breath and sometimes you can't. It depends on both temperature and humidity.

Our government is evil and corrupt. I've seen them in very hot weather, so it's not very hot exhaust mixed with cold weather, it isn't normal condensation. I'm pretty sure the evil minds that are behind all these GMO's and chemical warfare are banking on most Americans (Like You) saying, "Our government would NEVER do such a thing to us, you're just some crazy conspiracy theorist". You're probably one of the people who voted against GMO labeling too right? It's time we wake up people and start connecting the dots.

You do know that the atmosphere has different layers and those different layers are all at different temperatures right? The plane you see while sunbathing on the beach may be flying through below 0º air.

I don't sunbathe, I'm naturally tanned. And yes, the plane may be flying through 0 degree weather it also may not be. What I'm saying is I think you should concede to my expertise in this regard and trust me on this because I know something about it.
