Conspiracy Theorists imply spraying chemicals or weather manipulation. Contrails are not used for geoengineering. 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.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2023/04/14/fact-check-chemtrails-arent-real-arent-related-climate-change/11624336002/ https://observer.com/2018/05/why-do-people-believe-in-weather-conspiracy-theories-like-chemtrails/ https://science.howstuffworks.com/transport/flight/modern/what-are-chemtrails.htm https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/science-officially-debunks-chemtrails-conspiracy-live-180960139/
