A conspiracy theory that planes leave dangerous “chemtrails” behind has gained new life in the United States.

This comes at a time when actual proposals for “geoengineering” to affect the climate are raising concerns.

Bills to ban what some lawmakers call chemtrails have been introduced in Tennessee and Florida.

At the same time, US Health Secretary nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has expressed support for the theory.

“We will stop this crime,” Kennedy wrote on X in August, claiming that “bio-available aluminum” is sprayed from planes.

Scientifically, “cemtrails” are just condensed water vapor formed in airplane exhaust.

However, these can contribute to the greenhouse effect by creating clouds that trap heat.
