Louisiana Passes Bill to Ban ‘Chemtrails’
I am posting this article only because it is NEWSPEAK.
What are Chemtrails and Are They Real?
The existence of chemtrails is a conspiracy theory which claims that the government or another secretive organization is using commercial or military aircraft to release chemicals or metals into the atmosphere, visible in the white lines aircraft leave behind in the sky. People have claimed these are used for a range of things from weather modification to mind control.
The scientific consensus, as explained by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), is that the white lines observed behind aircraft are contrails — condensation trails — which form when hot exhaust from jets meets cold, humid air at high altitudes. The EPA states these are a natural result of flight and pose no risk to weather patterns.
Federal agencies, including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), have publicly denied undertaking or planning any weather modification experiments such as those described by chemtrail advocates.
What People Are Saying
Speaking to Newsweek, Mark Shanahan who teaches American politics at the University of Surrey in the U.K: “The norm in mature democracies is that voters elect skilled representatives who act in our best interest, and thus for very many decades potential legislators have striven to prove their intellect, their balance and their ability to weigh evidence. But that changed with Trump’s election to a situation where politics is much more about celebrity than credibility and cranks from the margins of political ideas are now lauded front and centre. Whether it’s RFK at Health, or MTG in the House, wild and wacky ideas, with no basis in truth, are being raised and argued as if they were true - often with little or no media push-back. The president sets the tone, and so far, Donald Trump has encouraged and enabled the circus of craziness. While US government is more about ratings than effectiveness, this disconnect from reality is set to continue” (emphasis mine).
