CAJ - Is a spraying program currently underway to destroy the Earth?

Chemtrail conspiracy theory 

The reason why I chose geoengineering to be the topic for my CAJ is the documentary “Why in the world are they spraying”. The information I came across with in this documentary really left me speechless. It is about the effects chemtrails, which are long-lasting chemical trails left in the sky by aircrafts, have on the environment, especially on plants and trees. The documentary aims to reveal that the government is deliberately spraying chemicals in the air without the general public knowing about it. The people in this documentary, some actually have academic titles, keep on saying that the trails we see in the sky are not trails caused by the turbines of aircrafts, but chemical trails, also called chemtrails, that cause changes in weather patterns. As a result of these chemtrails and the altered weather patterns, plants and crops rot and dry out. They warn people from geoengineering, presenting the scientists in this field of study as some kind of illuminati figures. As for my part, I started to believe in this conspiracy since a lot of pathos was used. I have to admit that the information is very well presented and leaves the viewer with a feeling of fear and shock, especially those who have not dealt with this topic before.  

Thanks to the fear this documentary caused in me and the CAJ, I started to get absorbed in geoengineering. I began to collect some useful information and realised, not long after, that the documentary is really...bad and lousy! The documentary not only displays geoengineering as a illuminati conspiracy and a depopulation plan, but also spreads wrong scientific facts. For example, to illustrate how badly aluminum, which is contained in these “chemtrails”, has affected water, they have taken a sample from pond sediment, not from the water of it. What they have tested is basically the aluminum level of the soil and not the water. They have then compared this sample with clean normal water. Of course, the aluminum level of the “pond” was considerably higher, since the aluminum of rocks is already eight percent high. All of the analysis in this documentary are simply flawed or based on misconception.

The people in the documentary have mistakenly or purposely, we don’t know, misconceived what chemtrails are. What they have seen are contrails and not chemtrails. There is a major difference between those. While contrails are simply the white lines you see in the sky that “form upon condensation of water vapor produced by the combustion of fuel in the airplane engines” (a definition by Encyclopedia Britannica), chemtrails are trails consisting of chemical substances that aim to cool the Earth. However, the geoengineering technique of spraying sulphate aerosols into the atmosphere has not yet been implemented. We can still gaze in awe at the white lines that form beautiful patterns in the sky without any fear. Some people who believe in this chemtrail conspiracy argue that these two trail-types can be differentiated from one another by looking how long they can be seen in the sky. They claim that contrails fade away in a couple of minutes and that chemtrails remain in the sky for a long period of time. This, however, is wrong. It has been proved that contrails can persist for hours. Otherwise, the plan to destroy this planet must have been going on since the invention of jets!? 

I doubt that.

It is also claimed that chemtrails make people sick. This is a headline from an article: "Did Olympic Athletes get Chemtrailed?- Many sick with 'flu-like symptoms?". Maybe they just have caught the flu? Hilarious!

One precious thing I have learned from my CAJ is to stay away from conspiracy sources such as the documentary “Why in the world are they spraying” or David Icke. We should all acquire the ability to evaluate what sources are reliable and give proper facts. People tend to get trapped in conspiracies since they are, let's face it, interesting. Everyone tends to believe that some kind of governmental program to destroy the Earth is currently underway. But it isn’t. These conspiracies only prevent us from getting properly engaged with the boring truth.
