Original Note:
The white streaks shown in the right half of the meme are called contrails, not “chemtrails.” Contrails are formed when hot, humid exhaust from aircraft engines mixes with the colder air at high altitudes, causing water vapor to condense and freeze into tiny ice crystals: https://www.aap.com.au/factcheck/aircraft-chemtrails-conspiracy-is-long-overdue-for-departure/ https://www.labmanager.com/chemtrails-vs-contrails-5182
