What bugs me about the chemtrail conspiracies that I've heard about is that distributing toxins from planes is probably about the worst practical way to distribute them. If you really want to put stuff into the water supplies then it's surely far more efficient and cheaper to hire a load of people to dump the chemicals straight into the reservoirs. It's also indiscriminate which isn't likely to be useful - why poison everyone within potentially wide areas subject to wind conditions?

- krapp 1y agoThe smart way to do it is either in medication or the food supply. Far easier to target specific demographics. But yeah, chemtrail people also think they're used for weather modification. These people don't think rationally.
- ndsipa_pomu 1y agoWeather modification makes more sense to me as that would need to be done by plane (I wonder if balloons would work, but I suppose they're harder to position exactly). I'm not sure why they'd be modifying weather, but things like increasing rainfall over areas might be useful which raises the question of why does it need to be a conspiracy? If they've got a system that increases farm yields then why not make it public knowledge and even sell weather services to various states.
- quantified 1y agoContrails do modify weather a bit. Of course, funny how they don't modify it enough to put rain or snow where it's needed.

- dekhn 1y agoAre you referring to this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contrail#Impacts_on_climate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contrail#Impacts_on_climate I think that's considered an actual legitimate scientific phenomenon.
- krapp 1y agoNo, I'm referring to the conspiracy theory[0,1] whereby it's believed that various chemicals and "chaff" are being deployed by commercial airliners as part of an active and intentional effort to "geoengineer" the climate. I am not referring to the incidental and mundane environmental effects of contrails.
