So the streaked Behind airplanes are basically clouds.

It’s condensation from the engine freezing around soot in the exhaust*.

They’re also talking about seeding rain clouds by dispersing silver iodide, potassium iodide or just dry ice.

Banning cloud seeding makes sense, since it affects everyone down stream, and that gets complicated. But the arrival blames, for example, the mystic camp flood on cloud seeding/chem trails and goes on to describe contrails as being cloud seeding- which isn’t a thing.

They also link increased aluminum, which isn’t used in cloud seeding, to problems with bees.

*it could also be, in certain situations, from air that’s fairly humid and right at a temperature/ pressure where the wing passing through it causes the ambient humidity to condense out into clouds, but that’s less common.

Their influencers and their tribes are in league with the groups responsible for those problems and can't be honest so they have to find fake culprits. That said they will support banning geo engineering to cool the earth which is a real top level law of unintended consequences issue, as they already have in Georgia I believe, so we can work with them on this.
