This website was one of the top results when I was researching chemtrails, and since it was a university that I knew about, I decided it was a good source of information form me. When looking closer at this website, I noticed that all of the information that I was reading was written by Harvard students with PhDs, meaning the writers of this source were probably very smart and reputable.

The David Keith Research group conveys the message of being against the theory of the government creating chemtrails with airplanes to control the weather. This message makes a lot of sense, especially when they are able to back it up with lots of information. I can validate their information when looking at the information of other reputable sources, like BBC and CNN.

This article was mainly written to explain how people have misconceptions with what they see in the sky, and what they are actually seeing. They also include data from their own research, including study’s from their solar geoengineering research, along with data from outdoor experiments they conducted. This information can serve anyone who is interested in learning about chemtrails, and if they want to find out if they are real or not. 

Ultimately I would trust this websites information as a source because it comes from a research group in a very well known university, written by very smart people.

This was written by someone on twitter with a pseudonym, making them very suspicious. Throughout their twitter page, we can see why they aren’t reputable. This is because their whole page is based around conspiracy theory’s. Ranging from covid being a hoax, to aliens on earth, their page is full of made up, stupid information. His page also includes offensive things about the government and other things, like big, important companies.

On this specific post, they are definitely trying to convey the message that chemtrails are real. To do this, they post a picture of two different airplanes- obviously flying at different altitudes- where one has a trail behind it, and the other does not. They way they give us this message isn’t really reputable, because all it is is just a picture, without much context. The person writes this, without knowing much about what is actually happening. All they see is two airplanes that look different while flying next to each other. Other sources couldn’t validate this post, because all they have is a picture. Even if they did have more to say, im sure there are lots of websites that could explain why they are wrong. This person jumps to conclusions, blaming in on the government, and starts doubting one of the smartest people in the world in his post. They have no other perspective on this conspiracy theory, and only say what they believe is correct. This post was written for people who believe this conspiracy theory. But more specificity, it was targeting Elon Musk, trying to prove him wrong. 

Ultimately, I would not trust this source because the only information the can provide is a picture, without having background information on what is actually happening. Another reason I would not trust this source is because it is written by a random person, with a fake name, on a social media page with lots of other dumb ideas.]]> 2023-05-16 17:19:47 UTC https://padlet.com/kpietroske4360/2rpjdvcde77prlfn/wish/2593444276 kpietroske4360 https://padlet.com/kpietroske4360/2rpjdvcde77prlfn/wish/2596467238 The main idea on BBC’s article about chemtrails is what the real truth being the conspiracy theory is. They look at just one perspective, which is chemtrails being fake. In this article, BBC is mostly debunking and criticizing this conspiracy theory. They tell us how “The idea that governments or shadowy forces are routinely spraying the planet with chemicals from scheduled passenger flights took hold in the 1990s.” This is important because it gives us some background information on how and when this theory started. Another useful piece of information that BBC includes in this article is explaining what these trails behind the airplanes actually are. The information I found most useful/interesting article is how people believing in chemtrails have discussions on social media platforms, such as Facebook and telegram. The craziest piece of information, though, was how people put bowls of white vinegar outside, saying it clears the “chemtrailed” sky. ]]> 2023-05-18 16:00:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kpietroske4360/2rpjdvcde77prlfn/wish/2596467238 kpietroske4360 https://padlet.com/kpietroske4360/2rpjdvcde77prlfn/wish/2596534203 National Geographic only has one view of this theory; it is completely made up. The article suggests that these trails that we see in the sky are actually called contrails; condensation trails. National Geographic does say that contrails could actually be something to worry about, because they contribute to climate change, which is ultimately a threat to everyone. So basically this article is telling us that chemtrails aren’t a real thing, but these trails that airplanes create could lead to problems. Some things that I found interesting about this article is that they included a personal story from when they were a kid, about how they saw an airplane in the sky and asked their dad about what the trails behind it were. Another surprising piece of information was finding out that more than 15% of people that they surveyed across the world believed in these chemtrails. ]]> 2023-05-18 16:58:32 UTC https://padlet.com/kpietroske4360/2rpjdvcde77prlfn/wish/2596534203 kpietroske4360 https://padlet.com/kpietroske4360/2rpjdvcde77prlfn/wish/2596580787 These two sources have a very different point of view on chemtrails. The Royal Aeronautical Society is an informative website that has thousands of consecutive people who use their website to gather information, while BostonJeff60’s twitter page only has three thousand followers, and by looking at his twitter page you can tell he doesn’t have much logic.  The only way these sources are similar is discussing the idea of chemtrails. But they are both very different, because they both have a different point of view on whats actually happening. 

On Royal Aeronautical Society’s article, they have a very descriptive debunking on what people think chemtrails are, versus what they actually are. This article follows the idea that ‘chemtrails’ are real just contrails, which are trails of condensation created by an airplane flying at a high altitude in a supersaturated atmosphere, where the condensed water particles turn to ice particles, which are left behind the aircraft, therefore leaving behind contrails. 

While Royal Aeronautical Society is debunking chemtrails explaining why they are not real, BostonJeff60 shows us his finding, claiming it to be a chemtrial, which you can tell he obviously believes in when looking at his twitter page. 

So overall, these sources are very different, and the only idea they share in common is that airplanes leave trails behind them, but they both have a different idea on what these trails are. The Royal Aeronautical Society’s article disagrees that chemtrails are real, while BostonJeff60 argues that the government is telling the truth. ]]> 2023-05-18 17:38:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kpietroske4360/2rpjdvcde77prlfn/wish/2596580787
