In this column I try not to cover topics that any normal person already knows are fake.

In other words, they banned chemtrails.

She has worried about this, I bet, 10 years …

If you look upone day, itll be clear.

The next day they will look like some angels have been playing tic-tac-toe.

Ive got pictures on my phone with Xs right over my house.

For years they denied they were doing anything.

We don’t even know how or if it would work, so solar geoengineering is a non-starter.

Chemtrail conspiracy theories are fake and dumb.

What are chemtrails?

Believers call the long, white trails sometimes left in the sky by jet airplanes “chemtrails.”

Contrails are the result of water vapor released from aircraft engines exhaust.

But they might actually change the weather.

(More on that below.)

So are some aircraft spraying chemicals and others not?

According to the authorities, no one is spraying anything.

Contrails only form under certain atmospheric conditions, even if it looks like angels have been playing tic-tac-toe.

Is there any evidence that chemtrail conspiracy theories are true?

The U.S. government really is trying to control the weather by releasing a chemical into the air from planes.

Its called cloud-seeding, and the chemical, silver iodide, is harmless to humans.

The idea is to prevent droughts by making clouds more productive.

Cloud-seeding has been around since the 1940s.

But not in Tennessee, obviously.

The second part of the chemtrails theory is a little right too.

That doesn’t mean contrails are benign though; they might even be worse than conspiracy theorists fear.

Are contrails harmful?

Contrails may be worse than the effect of burning all that jet fuel in the first place.

(Dont worry,were using AI to stop it, which should work outgreat.)

(I can dream, right?)

But that’s just the beginning.

But sunglass manufacturers could be in the crosshairs.

What is a pair of sunglasses if not an apparatus that affects the intensity of sunlight?

I could go on, but it’s all ridiculous.
