Believers in this conspiracy theory say that while normal contrails dissipate relatively quickly, contrails that linger must contain additional substances. Those who subscribe to the theory speculate that the purpose of the chemical release may be solar radiation management, weather modification, psychological manipulation, human population control, biological or chemical warfare, or testing of biological or chemical agents on a population, and that the trails are causing respiratory illnesses and other health problems.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>An erroneous conspiracy theory!<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Or is it?<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s ask Ginger Zee, Chief Meteorologist &amp; managing editor of the climate unit at ABC News:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">When I went to college for meteorology, cloud seeding was \u201cinefficient &amp; expensive.\u201d That is NOT the case today. 42 projects in 10 states w\/ hundreds of ground based cloud seeders sending silver iodide into storms to make them snow more than they naturally would.

The technique, which experts also call weather modification, can really help in areas that don&#8217;t have a big enough supply of natural water. After cloud seeding, precipitation (rain or snow) will fall from the clouds onto the ground.<\/p>\n<p>So yes, ladies and gentlemen, we are, in fact, modifying the weather.<\/p>\n<p>(The Chinese <a href=\"https:\/\/notthebee.com\/article\/should-we-be-worried-because-it-kinda-seems-like-china-has-a-weather-machine-now\">have been at this for some time<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly enough, Ginger Zee took down (or was told to take down) the video in this next tweet:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Cloud seeding isn\u2019t new\u2026 but thanks to the aridification of the southwest, states like AZ\/CA that grow so much of our food are paying companies to make it snow more than it naturally would. North American Weather Consultants tells us they are making 3-15% more snowpack.
