Original Note:
The Video does not show “chemtrails”. It shows contrails, which are a natural consequence of jet engine exhaust. Dark contrails result from a delicate balance of scattering, lighting conditions, and atmospheric factors. ‘Chemtrails’ is a conspiracy theory. https://www.verifythis.com/article/news/verify/social-media/those-long-thin-clouds-you-see-behind-planes-are-contrails-not-chemtrails/536-2dc0433f-b0ce-4577-803a-c94c1525b47a https://www.metabunk.org/threads/explained-dark-contrails-behind-bright-planes.5957/ https://www.weather.gov/bgm/WeatherInActionContrails#:~:text=Condensation%20trails%2C%20commonly%20called%20contrails,vapor%20pressure%20at%20low%20temperatures https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-62240071 https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2023/apr/27/facebook-posts/chemtrails-are-not-causing-diseases-theyre-not-rea/ https://science.howstuffworks.com/transport/flight/modern/what-are-chemtrails.htm
