Peer-reviewed study debunks “chemtrail” conspiracy theory

New York Times : A long-standing conspiracy theory suggests that the condensation trails that form behind planes as they fly at high altitudes are actually “chemtrails” produced by aircraft spraying chemicals into the sky for sinister reasons. Steven J. Davis of the University of California, Irvine, and his colleagues have now published the first peer-reviewed study that examines and debunks a wide range of claims made by supporters of the chemtrail theory. The study surveyed 77 atmospheric scientists, who were asked to provide scientific explanations for such phenomena as the occasional gap in a contrail or elevated chemical levels in the atmosphere. Davis said the goal of the study is to counter the misinformation that appears to be rife on the internet.
