Concerned Citizen - Watch this plane stop its spraying. Nothing to do with altitude or moisture in the air. It’s exactly what it looks like - it simply stops dispersing it’s metallic compound.

What is a chemtrail?
According to Wikipedia (which is not a bad place to start, rather than finish, your research):
'The chemtrail conspiracy theory posits that some trails left by aircraft are chemical or biological agents deliberately sprayed in the sky for purposes undisclosed to the general public and directed by various government officials. This theory has been refuted by the scientific community: such trails are simply normal contrails (condensation trails).'
Condensation trails – or contrails – form behind jets flying above 25,000 feet and are created by a combination of the hot air generated by the aircraft engines and the hydrocarbon by-products of jetfuel consumption. Dependent on meteorological and atmospheric conditions – particularly wind speed and humidity – contrails generally last from a few seconds to a few minutes, but can also last a lot longer in the right conditions.
For a counterpoint, let’s see what the good folks over at Collective Evolution have to say:
'Geoengineering is not a conspiracy, it’s the deliberate and large-sacle [sic] intervention in the Earth’s climatic system. Simply put, it is the spraying of chemicals into the air via planes into the atmosphere. Independent testing over the past decade confirms that Chemtrails around the country contain a dangerous and extremely poisonous mix of chemicals that includes: barium, nano aluminum-coated fiberglass [known as CHAFF], radioactive thorium, cadmium, chromium, nickel, desiccated blood, mold spores, yellow fungal mycotoxins, ethylene dibromide, and polymer fibers.'
Well, that certainly sounds nasty.
Doing a quick search, it seems that Geoengineering is indeed not a conspiracy – it’s a university-supported science, that is also not currently happening on any significant scale.
The rational side of my brain compels me to ask: is there any evidence chemtrails exist?
Come on, I said 'rational'!
It is at this point that my search leads me to Contrail Science, a site which has worked long and hard to link to all evidence of chemtrails. Most of it is pretty weak, but my favourite pieces of ‘evidence’ are:
Persistent condensation trails were not observed before 1998! (Really? That’s their best evidence? Unless someone was keeping records, this is a good example of confirmation bias.)
People get sick after chemtrail spraying! (But not at other times, I’m sure. Confirmation bias again.)
Chemical analysis has shown the presence of unexpected chemicals in rainwater. (Unexpected by whom? Someone hunting for anomalies?)
Hmmm... I’m not sure we have the same definition of the word evidence. Moving on…
But former USAF environmental specialist Kristen Meghan blew the whistle!

Final thoughts
The size of the conspiracy necessary to cover up chemtrails makes them highly improbable.
Literally hundreds of thousands of aircraft engineers, maintenance workers and on-ground staff around the world would have to be involved in the cover-up — none of whom have ever come forward with a solid piece of photographic or scientific evidence.
While it is certain the practice of aerial chemical dispersal does exist, it is done from low altitude to control pests and is popularly known as cropdusting.
