Chemtrails aren't proven but weather engineering is: https://wmo.int/content/wmo-statement-weather-modification

The chemtrails conspiracy is just used to dismiss valid concerns about weather modification

I love that "weather modification" is a valid concern but modifying the weather by emitting GHGs is not: https://www.theinvadingsea.com/2026/02/13/florida-legislatur...

It's the opposite, "weather engineering" is a veneer of legitimacy layered over crackpot nonsense.

I don't really think this is true. You can say "chemtrails aren't real but weather engineering does concerns me". It's just that many (most?) of the people with the concerns are chemtrails people. It's not like non-chemtrails-believers have weaponized the chemtrails-as-a-belief to protect their precious weather engineering. Although that itself is quite a fun conspiracy :).

Chemical weather creation, known scientifically as cloud seeding, uses substances like silver iodide (\(AgI\)), dry ice (solid carbon dioxide). This is the worst conspiracy there is a conspiracy ever. Just google it. Just ask people that dumped it from a plane. The people saying the gov. controls the weather were right, proved tons of times. Just toss up silver iodide, wtf is this hard to conceive?

Florida doesn't lie? wtf?
