There is no evidence that the trials we see in the sky are "chemtrails". Jet engines produce water vapor as a bi-product of burning fuel. Above 20k feet, the air surrounding the aircraft is below freezing so it cools down the water vapor coming out of the back of the engines. https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/learn-about/weather/types-of-weather/clouds/other-clouds/contrails
