by There is usually some truth behind conspiracy theories.
usually their theories are a misunderstanding, or misrepresentation of real and legitamite lesser known Scientific or political concerns.
A conspiracy theorist will also usually include in to the theory, a nefarious and conspiring Satan like figure, or construct.
However lets look at Chemtrails, and see if the theory really is so erroneous.
The chemtrail conspiracy theory posits the erroneous belief that long-lasting condensation trails are "chemtrails" consisting of chemical or biological agents left in the sky by high-flying aircraft, sprayed for nefarious purposes undisclosed to the general public. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemtrail ... acy_theory
Does this sound erroneous? Well lets look at Contrails, and lets remember, that the belief that all Contrails are, is ice-crystals, is both correct, and incorrect. We also commit a lie, as we do not want to lose our air travel. But believe me, you would not want to go up in the air and take in a good breath of those ice crystals, as in actual fact, those Contrails, are actually exhaust fumes, that consist of allkinds of chemicals, including soot
vapour trails are line-shaped clouds produced by aircraft engine exhaust https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contrail# ... nd_climate
And
Engine exhaust is made up of many different chemical byproducts of incomplete hydrocarbon fuel combustion, including volatile organic compounds, inorganic gases, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, oxygenated organics, alcohols, ozone and particles of soot and micron-sized metallic particles resulting from engine wear https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contrail# ... ne_exhaust
Now this one here is a real tin foil hat wearer, isn't it?
Those who subscribe to the theory speculate that the purpose of the chemical release may be solar radiation management, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemtrail ... acy_theory
wrong, Nasa actually believe Contrails to be contributing to global warming
Contrails, by affecting the Earth's radiation balance, act as a radiative forcing. Studies have found that contrails trap outgoing longwave radiation emitted by the Earth and atmosphere (positive radiative forcing) at a greater rate than they reflect incoming solar radiation (negative radiative forcing). NASA conducted a great deal of detailed research on atmospheric and climatological effects of contrails, including effects on ozone, ice crystal formation, and particle composition, during the Atmospheric Effects of Aviation Project (AEAP).[13] Global radiative forcing has been calculated from the reanalysis data, climatological models and radiative transfer codes. It is estimated to amount to 0.012 W/m² (watts per square meter) for 2005, with an uncertainty range of 0.005 to 0.026 W/m², and with a low level of scientific understanding.[14] Therefore, the overall net effect of contrails is positive, i.e., a warming effect. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contrail# ... nd_climate
Now chemtrailers believe that Chemtrails cause weather modification, is this erroneous?
Condensation trails have been suspected of causing "regional-scale surface temperature" changes for some time.[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contrail# ... pact_study
And also you do get cloudseeding programmes, for the very purposes of weather modification.
Cloud seeding is a type of weather modification that aims to change the amount or type of precipitation that falls from clouds by dispersing substances into the air that serve as cloud condensation or ice nuclei, which alter the microphysical processes within the cloud. The usual intent is to increase precipitation (rain or snow), but hail and fog suppression are also widely practised in airports where harsh weather conditions are experienced. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_seeding
Also chemtrailers believe they cause psychological manipulation, well is the fact that we have this Chemtrail conspiracy theory, and the fact we have those arguing against it, not psychological manipulation?
And Chemtrailers also believe they can be used for, and cause
human population control, or biological or chemical warfare, and that the trails are causing respiratory illnesses and other health problems. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemtrail ... acy_theory
Is this unwarranted? Well you do get cloud seeding and weather modification programmes for military purposes, such as operation popeye, which increased the monsoon season in Vietnam
Operation Popeye was a highly classified operation run by the US military in 1967-1972.The purpose was to prolong Monsoon in Southeast Asia. The overwhelming precipitation successfully disrupted the tactical logistics of Vietnamese army. Operation Popeye is believed as the first successful practice of weather modification technology in warfare. After it was unveiled, weather modification in warfare was banned by the Environmental Modification Convention (ENMOD) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather_m ... e_military
So the only difference really, is the fact that Chemtrailers believe Satan is sitting on top of the condensation trails. They believe it is being done intentionally, as opposed to unintentionally, and they have some of the chemical elements wrong, with the main difference being, that Scientists nowadays, screaming about global warming and climate change, perhaps believing the effects of contrails, to be more doomsday than Chemtrailers believe the effects of Chemtrails, to be.
