I was responding to this part.

Because chemtrails are basically just clouds. It's just water vapor from the airplane engines condensing in cold atmosphere at high altitudes. [...] Go out in the winter and breathe with open mouth. You're now breathing out chemtrails.

I agree with your reaction to the chemtrail conspiracy crowd who are clueless on science, but this is too oversimplified IMO.

I mean, I was just describing the part that most likely creates "chemtrails". We weren't exactly talking exact exhaust composition of airplane engine, just the part that is the cause of "chemtrails" which is most likely just water. Of course there is some uncombusted jet fuel, CO2, water, probably some CO and other substances that are formed during combustion and sent out the exhaust of the engine. But most of those probably don't affect formation of "chemtrails".
