There are a lot of comments here mocking “chemtrail” believers, but I think the confusion is understandable. There seems to be a mix-up between three terms: contrails, chemtrails, and cloud seeding.
Contrails are just condensation trails caused by jet exhaust and air pressure differences at high altitude.
Cloud seeding, on the other hand, is a real weather-modification technique that uses aircraft to disperse substances like silver iodide to encourage rainfall [1]
I completely empathize with people confused by this. They aren't all just a bunch of conspiracy nuts, many just don’t know how to identify what they’re seeing or how these technologies actually work. I don’t mock them, I try to educate.

- greekrich92 1y agoThe chemtrails conspiracy nuts aren't confused about cloud seeding. They believe contrails are visible evidence that airplanes are used to disperse mind control drugs over the populations below.
- dustfinger 1y agoThere are many people that believe the contrails, that they refer to as chemtrails, are about weather control. Those are the people that I think are confused. Just search "chemtrails weather control" or "manipulation". I have also spoken to many people that hold this belief.
