After reading the lengthy (and thoroughly typical) exchange in the 'Case Orange' thread, I was disheartened. I felt certain that we were fighting a loosing battle against the rest of the world who seem united in their disregard for logic, reason and the Scientific Method.
Then I remembered, it's not the rest of the world who believes this hoax, just a select few with web access, free time, unchecked paranoia and the tendency towards literal vocality about their beliefs. That always cheers me up.
There's a great page on ContrailScience about this, but I wondered if anyone has any more accurate methods for assessing just how many people have fallen into this hoax, and if possible how those numbers have changed over the years.
