Basic physics is not a conspiracy. Jfc hot air into cold air condenses into a cloud just like what happens when breathing out in cold weather.

I kind of get those in places that are always warm not getting it but I've had to explain it so many times to people who grow up in places where ice and snow are normal in winter

Ok, so the trails would happen anyway that doesn't mean they aren't also carrying chemicals.

look, I don't believe it all I'm saying is it's not insane and with the Epstein files and panama papers and Snowden leaks, I'm now of the opinion Evil super villain plots are real and happen all the time.

Planes don't carry any extra weight as that kills range and fuel efficiency. So no they wouldn't be carrying anything unnecessary

I'm now of the opinion Evil super villain plots are real and happen all the time.

But it's not, it's more level of the earth is flat or we didn't land on the moon

The chemicals could easily be mixed in with the fuel All it would require is a doped fule source maby a couple chemists and a few laborers and the couple of oil oligarchs / governments who did it, the world is flooded with bad chemicals they could have came from the plains and nobody would know the difference.

Who's to say it doesn't help the fuel? Lead did in leaded gasoline, there's a cover up that was real, far bigger and more deadly than chemtrails.

Once again, I don't believe it but it's not crazy.
