What are ‘chemtrails’? The conspiracy theory that persists among Brits and locals in Spain – despite scientists debunking the claims
Published By admin with Comments 0
ONE of the world’s most popular conspiracy theories, “chemtrails” alleges that contrails — the vapour that forms on the wings of aeroplanes during high altitude flight — are actually chemicals deployed by the global elite to control the population and manipulate the Earth’s weather.
The theory has existed since at least the 1990s.
One survey from 2011 suggested that as much as 17% of the global population might find the theory credible.
More recently, the theory has received media attention amid a recent surge in conspiracy theories linked to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In Spain, the chemtrail theory has been disseminated through popular talk show programs, such as Iker Jimenez’s TV show Horizonte.
