Original Note:
The claims made are part of a broader, debunked conspiracy theory & lack scientific support. Contrails are a normal & well-understood aspect of high-altitude aviation, not evidence of a clandestine chemical-spraying program. This theory has been widely debunked. https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/06/fact-check-chemtrails-do-not-contain-chemicals-known-to-cause-human-harm.html https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-62240071 https://scholarship.law.missouri.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=4479&context=mlr https://keith.seas.harvard.edu/chemtrails-conspiracy-theory https://geoengineering.environment.harvard.edu/publications/chemtrails-arent-geoengineering-debate-we-should-be-having-because-they-arent-real
