Original Note:
The post incorrectly conflates geoengineering with the “chemtrails” conspiracy theory and falsely claims UN endorsement. Geoengineering is a theoretical proposal that is still in its early stages: https://www.technologyreview.com/2024/03/18/1089879/harvard-halts-its-long-planned-atmospheric-geoengineering-experiment/ https://keith.seas.harvard.edu/chemtrails-conspiracy-theory https://www.aerosociety.com/news/chemtrails-debunked/ https://news.uci.edu/2016/08/12/surveyed-scientists-debunk-chemtrails-conspiracy-theory/ It would not resemble “chemtrails” if implemented: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2023/04/20/fact-check-false-claim-video-shows-ongoing-geoengineering/11687577002/ Chemtrail Nonsense: https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/critical-thinking-environment/trail-chemtrail-nonsense
