Except… they’re not the same thing. Geoengineering has been going on for over half a century, and involves dumping particles into different layers of the atmosphere. These particles are generally inert, but cause localized condensation.

That’s a totally different thing than the chemtrail conspiracies which argue that chemicals that aren’t inert are being distributed to make it into the air we breathe and the water we drink in order to alter the behavior of people.

Chemtrails are effectively closer to microplastic pollution than they are to geoengineering.
