Do you pro pilots out there have to explain how chemtrails are harmless to your more conspiracy-minded passengers?

not chemtrails but I’ve been cornered in the terminal to have someone accost me about how the earth is flat and I’m employed by the government to keep Round Earth a reality

I used to fly with Gary when I was at a regional. He's managed to thread the pilot influencer needle between haha and cringe.

I’d laugh if I didn’t actually want to cry.
Growing Impact: Contrails and climate change
Contrails are the second largest contributor to aviation's impact on climate change after carbon dioxide emissions from fuel burn. A new interdisciplinary project looks to identify opportunities to mitigate the climate impacts of contrails as the number of people flying is anticipated to grow in...

It's worse than that, I've had a lifelong friend show me a picture on his phone of a tank in some random airplane with some sort of danger sticker followed up with a picture of an overhead switch labeled Chem Trails and he was sure I was a participant in intentionally negative climate change. Luckily this conversation happened at dawn and we were trying to get the remnants of last nights campfire to come back to life and it was probably about 40 F. I simply asked him to go start his Ford Excursion and let it warm up, When he came back to the fire, took a seat and a sip of his coffee I looked at the plume of steam rising out of his tailpipe and informed him he was complicit in chem trails. I know that's not the exact science of contrails but it shut him up and he never graduated to Flat Earth. I miss that guy, not a Rhodes scholar by any measure but just a very solid friend. Lost him a few years ago.

What specifically makes you want to cry in that article?

AFAICT the only rational response is to get a MIB pen with a little LED light and ask them to just stop and look at it. Hilarity will almost certainly ensue.
