Chemtrails are a name based on a misunderstanding. The proper name is "contrails" and they are made up of harmless ice crystals.

A contrail forms when a jet airplane travels through cold, moist, stable air. The air is cold enough and moist enough to form ice crystals. But the water molecules don't stick to each other. When the jet plane travels through this air, its exhaust contains microscopic particles of soot which the ice crystals stick to.

Until recently, we thought it was because the jet engine cooled the air, disrupted it, or added moisture to it. But now we know they simply provide condensation nucleii -- that is, a tiny sticky bit that water can attach to. Once an ice crystal starts growing, it will keep growing as it bumps into other ice crystals.

If the air is stable enough, a contrail can persist for hours, essentially as an artificial cloud.

Why do the elite spray us with chemtrails?

The so called "elite" don't spray the public with chemtrails. That is just an outrageous conspiracy theory. These "chemtrails" have been tested to death and always came out the same. There was nothing abnormal or toxic in them. The differences between various contrails, such as duration, color, and length; are determined by the altitude of the trails, wind shear, sunlight, and humidity around the contrail.


Why are they spraying chemtrails over Birmingham England?

The idea of "chemtrails" suggests that government or other entities are intentionally spraying harmful chemicals into the atmosphere for nefarious purposes. However, scientific consensus holds that the trails seen behind airplanes are contrails, which are formed from water vapor and exhaust gases at high altitudes. These contrails may persist under certain atmospheric conditions and can sometimes spread out, leading to the misconception of "chemtrails." There is no credible evidence to support the existence of chemtrails or any intentional spraying over Birmingham, England, or elsewhere.


What harmful substances have been found to date in chemtrails and how can we keep from getting sick from chemtrails?

Chemtrail conspiracy theories have been debunked by scientific evidence. Various studies have shown that the substances in contrails - not chemtrails - are normal byproducts of aircraft engine combustion. To stay healthy, it's important to focus on maintaining good overall health through proper diet, hydration, exercise, and avoiding exposure to genuine harmful substances like air pollution.
