    The point was not about if it was happening or not. It’s about how these examples are used as fodder to keep the conspiracies flowing about chemtrails.

    If you mix just the right amount of conspiracy with a little bit of fact, you get to keep all the votes from the crazies. It’s super easy to use big words like “geoengineering” and twist them to imply that hormones are mixed with jet fuel.

      The title of the article literally claims it’s not happening, which is false.

        The title of the article is referring to “chemtrails” as false. (You are blocked now too. So no point in responding.)

          The invocation of chemtrails was specifically on the part of the author of the article. If you actually read the details, the laws are restricting geoengineering.

          And it’s worth commenting so your ignorance doesn’t stand for anyone else reading.

            Yeah, the bills specifically mention X, and The Guardian says ‘something completely different is fake, therefore you should shit on the bill’. It’s dishonest and makes people not trust The Guardian and the media in general.

              It’s an issue I keep seeing with liberals, where they think it’s ok if they lie to people, because it’s for our own good. But conservatives lying is oh so evil.

              In reality, they’re both just bullshitting to push whatever their donors want. Both are actively attacking democracy, as an informed public is required for democracy to function. Fucking tired of these geriatrics treating the entire populace like children.
