Chemtrail is a portmanteau of two words chemical and trial.
It is similar to contrail, which is a portmanteau of condensation and trail.
What is Chemtrials Conspiracy ?
You might have seen white lines in the sky trailing behind jet planes several times right.
Ever wondered what these white lines are?
White lines behind aircraft are nothing but puffy plumes of water vapor.
Plumes of white are simply water vapors released from aircraft engines that condense into ice crystals if the atmospheric conditions are right.
But conspiracy theorists do not believe this.
Chemtrials refers to the theory that the government and other stakeholders are engaged in a secret program to add toxic chemicals to the atmosphere from aircraft in a way that forms visible plumes in the sky.
Well, there is no scarcity of conspiracy theories currently, and given the outbreak of coronavirus, internet is filled with conspiracy theories.
Chemtrail conspiracy includes the belief that governments control the weather on a massive scale.
There are several speculations among conspiracy theorists about motivations for alleged spraying; reduction in life expectancy, mind control, and weather control.
Conspiracy Theorists
White lines in the sky trailing behind jet planes are puffy plumes of water vapors.
But, online some people have twisted them into evidence of secret plans by governments and other stakeholders to control weather or poison the environment.
Well, there is absolutely no credible evidence to prove this conspiracy theory.
Suzzane Maher
Suzzane is the founder of ‘Bye Bye Blue Sky Group’.
It is established to raise awareness about so-called ‘chemtrails’ and what she claims is a massive, secret conspiracy to control the weather.
Are these conspiracy theorists completely off the mark?
Yes, there is no evidence to prove that governments are operating a secret spraying program.
In 2016, a study surveyed 77 leading atmospheric scientists and geochemists.
All but one, 98.7% reported no evidence of a secret large-scale atmospheric spraying program.
Weather Control
Weather modification or at least attempting has a long history.
The Leningrad Institute of Rainmaking was established in the Soviet Union in 1932.
Chinese authorities used cloud seeding to ensure the opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympics was not washed out.
Geo-engineering is a deliberate intervention in the earth’s natural systems to counteract climate change.
It is a new field of research.
Scientists are legitimately researching to counteract climate change.
But conspiracy theorists claim secret groups are spraying chemicals on citizens to make them easy to control.
One survey suggested that almost 17% of respondents thought chemtrail conspiracy theories were true or partly true.
Why do people believe in conspiracy theories?
Closed groups of like-minded people, which are very common on social media sites and the internet play a major role in solidifying conspiracy theories.
Be it Twitter or Instagram or Facebook, the algorithms work in such a way that; you are literally living in a virtual echo chamber.
Flat earth theory conspiracy, pizzagate conspiracy shows how social media can solidify conspiracy theories.
Social media is a dangerous place because it creates virtual ghettos where it is extremely difficult to question and challenge oneself.
